# For homeowners preparing to sell

Questions for Rotterdam homeowners preparing a sale while planning their next home purchase.

## Start with the timing

Write down the desired sale date, the next-home date, the people who need to move and the amount of overlap your household can carry. A short timeline helps you ask better questions of an estate agent, lender, notary or adviser.

## Prepare the property record

Gather ownership papers, permits, energy information, renovation invoices, service-charge details and known maintenance issues. Keep a note of what is confirmed, what needs inspection and what still needs an adviser’s view.

## Connect the two decisions

The sale and the next purchase can affect cash flow, financing, moving dates and temporary housing. The [costs page](/en/costs/) helps you list one-off and recurring items. The [buyer page](/en/for-buyers/) gives you a short set of questions for the next home.

## Keep claims in proportion

An asking price is a starting point for discussion. Compare similar homes, record the date of each figure and leave room for condition, location and negotiation. Use the [contact page](/en/contact/) for questions about this website’s content, and keep private documents out of a general form.
