Expats
Buying and selling in Delft as an expat
Your home in Delft, without getting lost in translation
Half of our clients are internationals, so we know exactly where expats get stuck. We guide you through the entire Dutch buying and selling process in English, from mortgage to notary. You do not need to understand the Dutch system. That is our job.
Why internationals choose VW Makelaars
- We work in English: every step, every document and every negotiation is handled in clear English.
- We know the Dutch system: mortgages, the 30 percent ruling, notaries and taxes, we explain what actually matters for you.
- We know Delft: 34 years in the region means we know the neighbourhoods, schools and streets from the inside.
- We check before you bid: for apartments, we review the VvE (owners' association) finances and maintenance plans, so you don't inherit someone else's costs.
Only looking on Funda? You're probably too late.
- We open more doors: we often hear about homes before they go online, so you view first instead of last.
How it works when you are buying
- Intro call: we discuss what you are looking for, your budget and your timeline.
- Search and select: we line up suitable homes, including ones from our network.
- Viewings: we join you and assess each home honestly and critically.
- Offer and negotiate: we handle the bidding and negotiation on your behalf.
- To the keys: we check the purchase contract, keep track of your deadlines and join you at the notary.
Selling your home as an expat
Leaving the Netherlands or moving on? We sell your home for the best price and reach both Dutch and international buyers, so your property gets maximum exposure. We keep you informed in English after every viewing, so you always know where you stand. We'll also tell you what not to spend money on before you leave. A new kitchen rarely pays for itself.
