PART TWO: Ultimate Guide to Buying a House In Amsterdam

[@dryu9]

Tip for bidders: you can use kadaster.nl and for 3 EUR request recent sell prices for properties per zip index, then cross check it with Funda's sold listings which display asking prices to understand how much to put in your offer.

Good to also note, the overbidding part is only for certain (the most common) apartments. Generally couples apartments. When viewing bigger ones in the range of 650K and up then underbidding works quite well. Had three viewings before deciding on which one to get and 2 out the 3 we bid on were willing to go down 10-15% under asking. These were all inside "the ring" and in great shape, so not talking about dumps. Another tip is that you can actually find out what apartments sold for if you go to kadaster.nl/winkel so you get a better idea of pricing in the area

Thank you so much for this! Yes, I should have put a disclaimer that this advice would likely not apply for apartments outside our range (1-2 bedroom, outside the central canals). I also mentioned we were searching for apartments that were not perfectly renovated, so I could see how its different for more expensive properties :) I'll check the link!

Nice vids to bad you don’t upload anymore. Greetings from Hoofddorp (ex Amsterdam house owner here). Hope all goes well.

[@rubynieves2668]

This was beautiful- I actually fell in love with Dutch culture years ago ( many years ago), makes me want to come visit. And you are hilarious in this video!

[@melaniexylia]

I enjoyed these videos! I would love to see an update to see what you have done with the place and how you feel about it now? We just bought our first home in Canada and can relate to the emotions and learning involved in the process.

Wow... those big windows... This is something which I love about Dutch design. I think they do appreciate the Northern climates, and make their windows as big as possible... So much light.

[@Runzararun]

Great video, we are thinking about moving to Amsterdam. Will you be doing any updates?

[@lau.kp777]

Ah such a cute very Amsterdammer apartment. We just put our first bid down today but looking for 2-3 bedrooms more in the outskirts or North. Dreaming about those cute lil apartments in the centre but it's not so practical/in our price range. Congrats!

[@emma-ikigai]

Ahh so exciting, and good luck!

[@sodirace]

Ahh I loved this one and super informative! What a beautiful house you guys got. Speaking of knock out biding, Seb knocked it out! Bravo you guys. Love the videos

[@emma-ikigai]

Thank you for always watching Tom! Your support means the world to me

[@MadeonSundays]

Hey Emma, Just wanted to say thank you for these videos :) I'm just starting my house hunting process now in Amsterdam and this gives me such a nice glimpse into the process.

[@wanderb0y]

Superb videos guys. Extremely informative for me as I prepare to enter the property-buying process in Amsterdam. Thanks a lot.

[@abigailgoddard753]

Love the apartment! Have fun decorating and remodeling it. Exciting !!!

[@snehamitra6866]

Hey Emma. Loving these videos. The information you shared is presented in a beautiful way. And apartment is very beautiful. I wanted to know if the energy rating is something that we should consider. Whats was the energy rating of the place that you bought.

[@gitingrewal2204]

Thanks for showing your apartment, super nice!

[@yvettenwakabi646]

Nice video. Thank you so much. Benefited a lot especially from the information on bidding. We have not been chosen for any bid we put in but i hope the next few weeks yield something better

[@hellotjesmellowtjes9791]

Its been a year, please update on the house 😫❤️

[@MonkDave666]

I'm guessing the sale fell through. Or they broke up. 😢

[@himanshukhurana45]

Hi Emma, loved both the videos and detailed explanation. Thankyou so much :) Had a couple of questions, if you can take time out to answer those: 1. Who did you connect with for a technical inspection? 2. The contracts and all documentation is in Dutch, how did you manage all of that without an agent?

[@xinyizheng1645]

Congrats on the cute apartment!! Do you mind revealing the final bidding price of your apartment as a reference? Thank you!

[@manuhortet]

Super useful videos Emma, thanks for putting this together!

[@mamabearv81]

So helpful! We’re wanting to move to Amsterdam next summer and are looking at Visas (we’re from the US). Looks like we’d need an Amsterdam residence / address in the early stages, so I’m curious how you handled that aspect while searching for a place to buy. Had you already been living in Amsterdam for some time before buying?

[@mp2mil]

Nice video, and useful info , can you advise which notary did you use? And the price ? Thanx

[@dutchgus]

Going through the process now. Great video, appreciated some of the tips.

[@chandramohanvellingiri5948]

Thanks, Emma for the video and information. Enjoy your good time in your Cool apartment!

[@roozbeh5828]

do you mind telling us the price of the apartment? thanks

[@victoriasperanza4061]

Congrats Emma!!!! 🥰💚

[@BrigataUPG]

I would like to buy an house in Almere, Hilversum or nearby. Could you please confirm if it's mandatory in NL to renew the foundations of the houses every 45 years?

[@BeatrizGarcia-ek1gp]

hi! did you needed to have your finances pre-approved by the bank? Is this about the financial clause? That in the case you dont get the hypoteek from the bank , you can ask another 2 banks and you have a certain time to do it. If you dont have the clause, you might get a fine of 10% of the hypoteek. is that it?

[@stanlenharris]

I really enjoyed this video. Very informative!

[@gvbalajee]
