Huis kopen en op zoek naar een notaris?
Buying a new home is a special moment that involves a lot. The process of buying a house is divided into several phases and here you need to be well prepared. At Marks Wachters notaries, we guide you step by step through the legal process.
Buying a house in Eindhoven or Nuenen
To manage the purchase of a house, the legislature has prescribed the notarized deed of delivery. This deed protects both the buyer of the house and the seller of the house. As a result, both parties are fully aware of the legal acts they perform and the consequences of these legal acts.
Buying a home involves a variety of issues. At Marks Wachters notaries, you can seek guidance on buying a home or a commercial property (commercial real estate). Our experienced staff can assist you with a variety of real estate issues.
Wat doet de notaris bij het kopen van een huis?Â
Bij het kopen van een huis is de tussenkomst van een notaris wettelijk verplicht. Alleen een notaris kan de woning juridisch overdragen. De notaris controleert onder meer of de verkoper bevoegd is om de woning te verkopen en of er beslag op ligt. Ook stelt de notaris de akte van levering en, als je een hypotheek afsluit, de hypotheekakte op. Na ondertekening zorgt de notaris ervoor dat de woning officieel op jouw naam komt te staan.
What should you pay attention to when buying a house?
Transfer tax
Bij de aankoop van een bestaande woning betaal je overdrachtsbelasting. Voor particuliere kopers die zelf in de woning gaan wonen is het tarief voor de overdrachtsbelasting 0% of 2% over de waarde van de woning. Deze waarde is in veel gevallen gelijk is aan de koopprijs. Ben je tussen de 18 en 35 jaar? Dan kun je onder bepaalde voorwaarden een beroep doen op de startersvrijstelling. Bij de aankoop van woningen die als belegging worden gebruikt geldt een hoger tarief van 8% en voor bedrijfspanden, geldt het tarief van 10,4%.
The amount of transfer tax and related rules vary by situation and type of property. That's why it's important to know what conditions apply to you. Marks Wachters is happy to help you with this.
Deed of transfer
When you have signed the purchase agreement, you do not yet own the house. To become an owner, the house must be delivered to you. This is done with a notarized deed of delivery.
Mortgage deed
Almost always when you buy a home you need financing from the bank, a mortgage. The bank requires security for this in the form of a mortgage lien. This requires a notarized mortgage deed.
Cost Buyer
When buying a home, you often come across the term ‘Buyer's Costs’ (k.k.). This means that the buyer pays the costs of the transfer, such as notary fees for drawing up the deed of transfer and mortgage deed, registration fees at the Land Registry and any administrative costs. In addition, as a buyer, you have to take into account costs for an appraisal of the property to be purchased and advice from a financial advisor if you need a mortgage to pay the purchase price. These costs are in addition to the purchase price.
The family mortgage
A family mortgage is a mortgage where the lender is not a bank or other financial institution, but a family member. This could include a parent lending money to their child to buy a home, or a grandparent helping their grandchildren finance their first home. This can have benefits, but there are also risks involved.
Purchase Agreement
Every contract of sale of real estate can be registered in the Public Registers of the Land Registry. This registration protects the buyer against mischief on the part of the seller. Consider, for example, bankruptcy, seizure of the property or a higher bid. The effect of the registration is limited to six months. The notary's intervention is necessary for registration.
Buying an apartment
When you buy an apartment, you will have to deal with apartment rights. The division of a building into several apartments is done in a notarized deed of division.
