Are you currently renting and have the opportunity to buy the home you live in? Or are you wondering whether that is even possible? More and more tenants are being offered the chance to purchase their rental property. It can be a unique opportunity, if handled wisely. At Hey! Makelaars, we help tenants buy their homes in a smart and secure way. From the first evaluation to handing over the keys.
When can you buy your rental home?
This usually happens when:
- A private landlord decides to sell
- An investor sells off individual units
- A housing corporation sells rental properties
In some cases, tenants even receive priority. However, that does not automatically mean the price is competitive.
Is the asking price realistic?
Many tenants think, “I already live here, this is my chance.” That is true. But it is still essential to carefully assess:
- The current market value
- The overall condition of the property
- The homeowners association and monthly costs
- The energy label and future maintenance
- Legal aspects related to your rental agreement
We always start with an objective value assessment, so you know whether the price makes sense.
What about financing?
A big advantage is that you already know the property. That gives confidence.
However, banks will still assess:
- Your income
- Any student loans
- The energy label
- The official valuation
We coordinate closely with a mortgage advisor to make sure you understand your financial possibilities before making a final decision.
Why professional guidance matters
Buying your rental home feels familiar and logical. But legally and financially, it remains a full property transaction. Negotiations, conditions in the contract, and legal checks are just as important as with any other purchase.
We support you with:
- Market value analysis
- Negotiation strategy
- Contract review
- Coordination with the notary and advisors
- Guidance until completion
From tenant to homeowner
Owning your home means:
- Building equity
- Long-term stability
- Freedom to renovate
- No annual rent increases
