For buyers in Rotterdam

Start with your household brief

Write down the home type, areas, travel needs, outdoor-space preference, monthly budget and timing that matter to your household. Keep the list short enough to use during every viewing.

Three questions before a viewing

• Which parts of the street will you use every day, and how do they feel at the times you travel?
• Which building papers, service costs or planned works need a closer look?
• Which monthly payment still leaves room for repairs, insurance, energy and ordinary life?

The Rotterdam city-centre neighbourhood guide helps with area comparison. The ten-step buying plan puts viewing, offer, contract and transfer in order.

Keep a short decision record

After each viewing, record what you saw, what you still need to verify and what would make the home a poor fit. Add the asking price, floor area, outdoor space, energy information, service charge and travel time. A written record keeps a polished listing from deciding for you.
