House purchase

A house and its plot are assessed together. You can offer a habitable home or a house requiring renovation. The initial information helps us identify the documents and inspections needed to prepare an offer.

What we consider when preparing an offer

Roof, foundation and structural condition
Heating, water, sewerage and electricity
Plot use, access and easements
Building register information and alterations

What to send us

Address and plot and building areas
Interior and exterior photos
Details of heating, connections and completed works
Available plans, permits and audits

What to know before deciding

A missing use permit or a discrepancy with the building register needs individual assessment. You do not have to commission expensive work solely to request an initial offer; first we identify the information needed.

How to prepare your property for an assessment

For a house, assess the building and plot together. Describe heating, water, drainage and access. Include outbuildings and alterations. If the documented floor area differs from the space actually used, flag this immediately; an offer should not be based solely on the square metres in a listing.

Where possible, provide access to technical rooms, the attic and basement for a viewing. There is no need to hide known damp, roof damage or a faulty system before taking photographs. Describe how long a problem has existed and any work already done. This information helps establish which further checks the house needs.

What to clarify before a final offer

Describe the house, outbuildings and plot separately. Identify heating, water supply, drainage, electricity connection and known maintenance. Photographs should include the roof, base of the building, plant room and access, not just the living room. Mention inaccessible areas before a viewing.

List discrepancies between records and reality. Establish who obtains missing information and whether the price depends on it. Disclosing a defect does not repair it. Agree additional investigations, who pays and their effect on timing separately.

What happens next

Send the initial details. We review them, clarify missing information and arrange a viewing where needed. The final price, payment arrangements and handover are agreed before the notarial transaction.

How direct property purchase works

Frequently asked questions

Can I offer a house without an occupancy permit?

You can send an enquiry and describe the missing documents. We review the information and clarify whether further documents or steps are needed before completion. An enquiry does not imply automatic acceptance of all documentation issues.

What should I disclose about extensions or alterations?

Describe when the work was done, its scope and any available plans or permits. Include the current layout and photos. Disclose differences from the register early so their effect on the transaction can be assessed.

When is the price final?

An offer based on photos and a description is preliminary. We confirm the final price after reviewing the necessary information and the condition of the property. Any newly discovered material issue is discussed before completion.

Who pays the transaction costs?

In a direct purchase, we cover the agreed notary and registration costs. Existing loans, debts and other seller obligations are considered separately, and the payment arrangements must be agreed before completion.
