Get your bearings in the housing market
Check current prices and bidding info with Walter Living
Use Walter Living for your house-hunt. This allows you to request up-to-the-minute price and bidding information on all properties. Is a property being offered at a very attractive price, or is the asking price far too high? Has it been sold before and come back onto the market again later? You’ll get to see it all!
Bidding and negotiating
Offer with certainty
An offer without a financing condition increases your likelihood of a successful bid. It is not without risks however, which is why Viisi, in collaboration with BNP Paribas, introduced the Offer with Certainty. After a thorough assessment, you will receive a certificate with a specific amount up to which your mortgage is pre-approved. You can make the offer while dropping the financing clause, making it much more attractive for the seller.
Legal guidance
During your search and after the purchase of your new home, you can make free use of the DAS legal helpline, which is useful for any legal questions surrounding the purchase, financing, transfer and renovation of your new home.
Are there any other questions on your mind? Your advisor is on standby.
Your personal advisor with Viisi is always available for questions during your search. If you need to act quickly, we’re there for you immediately!
Tailor-made mortgage advice
Tailored mortgage advice
When your bid has been accepted by the seller, you need to arrange a number of things. First of all the mortgage. During the consultation, you will discuss with us a number of things to make sure you make the right choices:
- How to structure the mortgage (repayments, fixing the interest, taxation)
- Which interests are available in the market, what are the differences in terms of monthly payments?
- Which mortgage conditions are important? And which lender offers the best deal for me?
- What are the processing times of mortgage lenders and where do I have the best chance on an smooth approval of the mortgage?
Insurance included
Advice on life insurance and other insurances is always included in our advice, without any additional fees. Because it is important to be confident about your financial situation regardless what happens in the future.
Need an appraiser or bank guarantee?

Housing market in Hilversum
Hilversum is primarily known as a media city, but it is also a nice city to live. It is located on the edge of the Randstad and is easily accessible from all other major cities. The city is also very green. Hilversum is generally experienced as a very pleasant place to live. This is partly because it is relatively quiet compared to the rest of the Randstad and because of the presence of all important facilities.
Hilversum is only 20 minutes from Amsterdam and this has contributed to the rise in house prices in Hilversum in recent years. Fortunately, this increase has been limited in contrast to the rest of the Randstad and you can still find enough houses in different price categories in Hilversum. Before viewing a house in Hilversum, let a real estate agent inform you without obligation and let Viisi make a mortgage calculation for you without obligation, so that you can be perfectly prepared.

Hilversum as a place of residence
At Viisi, we are convinced that you can only provide good mortgage advice if you know the place where someone buys a home. That’s why we work with local offices and mortgage advisers who know the city. Our experts know what is going on and can therefore guide you optimally when purchasing your new home in Hilversum.
Hilversum is the most important town in the Gooi region and has approximately 90,000 inhabitants. Between 1958 and 1999 the municipality declined sharply in population, but now more and more people are finding their way (back) to Hilversum. The city is easily accessible by car and has direct train connections with Utrecht (15 minutes) and Amsterdam (25 minutes). There are three stations: Hilversum, Hilversum Media Park and Hilversum Sportpark.
Hilversum ‘garden city’
Hilversum has a lot of greenery and is also referred to as a “garden city”. The city is surrounded by the Laarder Wasmeer, the lower-lying peat excavations, now known as the Loosdrechtse and the Ankeveense Plassen, among others. There is also a lot of green within the municipal boundaries. Hilversum also has the largest nature bridge in the world, the Natuurbrug Zanderij Crailoo.
Hilversum or Hilvertshem?
The name Hilversum dates from 1305 and is derived from Hilvertshem, which means “residence or settlement (hem) of the person Hilvert”. Sometimes the name is explained by the meaning “the heme (houses) between the hills” (Hilvertshem). The growth of weaving mills from the 17th to the 20th century brought the former farming village a lot of economic prosperity. In 1874 Hilversum, like the nearby towns of Laren, Naarden and Muiden, was connected to the railway network.
New construction in Hilversum
In the 1950s and 1960s, Hilversum carried out a major new construction program in the east and north of the municipality. In the 1970s, too, the districts of Kerkelanden and the Hilversumse Meent in the west, which are close to Bussum, were expanded considerably. At its peak, the city had more than 100,000 inhabitants, but unclear municipal politics, the withdrawal of industry and limited expansion options caused the number of inhabitants to drop sharply.
An increase has been visible again in recent years. This is partly due to the arrival of Nike’s European head office, the establishment of commercial channels at the Media Park and the construction of the Sound and Vision museum. A lot of work has also been done to improve the infrastructure.
