https://www.belderbrandt.nl/en/purchase-guidance · English

Found a house you want to buy? Then the real work begins. What's it worth, what are others offering, and how do you make sure your offer wins without paying too much?

That's what we help with. If you're an expat buying a home in Tilburg, we explain the valuation, the bidding strategy and every next step in plain English. This purchase guidance is provided by a certified purchase-guidance adviser (in Dutch: gecertificeerd aankoopbegeleider), Martin Vrieling.

## What do we do?

We study the market around the property. What have comparable homes nearby sold for? What's a realistic valuation? Based on that, we prepare a competitive offer together, along with a strategy for making it.

**Good to know**

You always handle the viewing yourself: nobody can judge better than you what you like and what suits you. We help you determine the value and the tactics.

## What does it cost?

- **Fee**: €1,000 on success
- **No purchase**: No cure, no pay

You only pay once you've actually bought a home. If we end up searching for a different property together, the same applies: no cure, no pay.

## How does purchase guidance work?

### Step 1: Introduction

We discuss your situation, your wishes and what you're looking for. If you also arrange your mortgage through Belderbrandt, we work out what you can borrow in this same conversation. See the full range of [mortgage advice](https://www.belderbrandt.nl/en/mortgage-advice), or read [buying your first home in Tilburg](https://www.belderbrandt.nl/en/mortgage-advice/buying-your-first-home) if this is your first home.

### Step 2: Search and viewing with tailored advice

You handle the viewing yourself. Meanwhile, we study the market around the property you have your eye on: comparable homes nearby and a realistic valuation, so you consider your offer with the full picture.

### Step 3: Bidding and negotiating

Based on that study, we prepare a competitive offer together, along with a strategy for making it. If you also arrange your mortgage with us, we draw up the financing statement that goes with the offer, so you can immediately show what you're able to offer.

### Step 4: To the notary

Once your offer is accepted, we finalise the mortgage application, arrange the notary appointment and you receive the keys.

## Why combine it with a mortgage?

If we also arrange your mortgage, you'll know exactly what you can maximally offer and what's responsible. That makes the bidding advice more concrete and stronger. See also [how much can I borrow as an expat](https://www.belderbrandt.nl/en/mortgage-advice/how-much-can-i-borrow). We also draw up the financing statement that goes with the offer. Clear, straightforward and fast, everything runs through us.

## The notary
