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?

The Utrecht housing market
Looking for a home to buy in a popular neighbourhood as an expat in Utrecht? Do not be surprised if there are ten people ahead of you in the queue, each eager to make an offer. You can only act quickly if you have done your homework thoroughly in that phase in terms of obtaining mortgage advice in Utrecht and some knowledge of the housing market in Utrecht. Therefore, a mortgage advisor in Utrecht, with knowledge of the Utrecht housing market, is recommended to get you one step closer to your new home.
In many cases, houses listed on Funda disappear swiftly, leaving little room for response. In the first quarter of last year, the average house price was 300,000 Euros, but at the beginning of this year, that price had surged to 350,000 Euros. Utrecht has maintained its position among the top three overheated housing markets for several years now. Seen your dream home?

Want to live in Utrecht as an expat?
Living in Utrecht, as an expat, offers many benefits. The central location makes it an ideal base. For example, Utrecht Centraal offers easy access to many places. Besides, the city has it all: from attractive canals, good restaurants and welcoming pubs, to exclusive shops and large chain stores. But Utrecht also offers culture, festivals and nature. There is a great deal of activity, but it is not as busy as Amsterdam, for example. In short, there is something for everyone!
Naturally, a city with so much to offer is extremely popular with many people. The universities and colleges also make it highly sought after by many first time buyers. A large proportion of graduates find their first job in or around Utrecht and wish to settle in the city.

Want to live in the heart of the Netherlands? Go to Viisi for mortgage advice in Utrecht!
At Viisi, it makes no difference whether you are a first time buyer, you are upsizing, a repeat buyer, or an expat in Utrecht. We give everyone in Utrecht appropriate mortgage advice. Our mortgage advisors look at your personal circumstances, but also know exactly what is happening on the Utrecht housing market. This way, you can always count on expert advice and buy your (first) home with confidence. What we are currently seeing in Utrecht is that:
- The suburbs surrounding Utrecht are very popular with house buyers. Many dual income households and families with children want easy access to the action of the city, but do not wish to live in the centre per se. They therefore look for an appealing home in one of the nine suburbs just outside the city centre;
- Newly listed homes are now not even being offered on Funda. Buyers are found via the grapevine, or directly via a mortgage broker identified in advance;
- Most homes are sold within just a few days, with or without a proviso
In Utrecht, the average price per square metre is nearly 3,000 Euros.
