I remember watching your video about your journey to moving to Netherlands. Happy to see how far God has brought you. Congratulations 🎉

[@giftegwuenu]

Thank you so much! ☺

[@Bukola1]

Wow Gift! That’s amazing, congrats on your property 👏🏿👏🏿

[@giftegwuenu]

Thank you so much, means a lot ❤️

[@ayodejibabalola565]

Very useful info. Thank you. Wifey and I also recently got a place in The Netherlands and the process is similar except we did not use a Mortgage advisor or Makelaar. Your Harvesters Netherlands Family :)

[@giftegwuenu]

That's great! Congrats on your place.💛 Oh, interesting. It must have taken a lot of work doing all the process yourselves. Glad it worked out for you both.

[@zainabjimoh3977]

[@theonlyopy]

Congratulations, Gift🎉 Welcome back, I really missed your contents.

[@giftegwuenu]

Glad to be back 🤗

[@adaezeeze4252]

Congratulations on your new home🎉🎉🎉 and thanks for the detailed information! I bought my place a few months ago and I totally agree with you on the importance of using a makelaar, they will save you unnecessary costs. For the 2% transfer tax, the exemption is 35yrs and below and for a property up to €440,000

[@giftegwuenu]

Thank you so much! Yes, having a makelaar eased the process for me. Yes, thanks for quoting the correct age limit. 💛

[@giftegwuenu]

Congrats on your purchase too! 🎉

[@ReenaJoses]

Oh wow Congratulations Gift God is good and great to see you flourishing 🥳🫡🥰🥰

Congratulations dear , thanks for the information 🙏

[@giftegwuenu]

Most welcome 😊

[@samuelbenson201]

I'm so excited to have you back. Please can you provide a mentoring opportunity on technical Writing for those of us just starting. Particularly hands-on experience on the actual writing, where you will give us something to write and submit for review. Something around that.

[@giftegwuenu]

Thank you! This is interesting but very time-constraining for me. Will be more than happy to help you review a piece you write if you send it across DMs. But I can't commit to doing a full mentoring session like this.

[@samuelbenson201]

Thanks a million for this. Please kindly provide your email or any DM you prefer.

Nice video, Is it possible to pay for a property once, assuming the individual has the cash at hand, also i think the transfer tax age start counting at 35. Thank you once more.

[@giftegwuenu]

Yes, absolutely it's possible to pay a down payment or even the full payment if you've got cash at hand.

Great documentation. just to add for the transfer tax, you are exempted when you are a first time buyer not more than 35 yrs old and property is not more than € 510.000

[@giftegwuenu]

Oh it's 35years! Thanks for adding and good to know the property cost limit.
