So the big hunt for a home has started, essesntially we're looking for something recently renovated (full price) or a complete mess that we can do up as we please. I like the idea of the latter idea.. but it could be more hassle than it's actually worth.
Wants:
Garden preferably rear
Moderate sized bathroom (preferably with bath)
Double glazing
Central Heating
City location
The big plan is to move in for 5 to 10 years, then rent it out. If you didn't know renting a property o over here in NL is waaay expensive. So there's some good cold hard cash to be earned if we play our cards right.
Looking for a house is a daily chore, seeing what's new checking to see what you've missed, translating.
I use the following websites to help me:
www.funda.nl to search houses
WorldLingo to tramslate.
MSN Maps incase the one at funda isn't clear enough.
Any other links to buying houses in the Netherlands would be great, but we got until the end of May to get out of our nice but rented hole.
We have already found a few houses we like.. but there were too many 'buts'.. and you don't need 'buts' when your buying a house.. well maybe you do.. but this is my first go at this house buying malarky so wish me/us luck!
