Section 08 — Purchase strategy
How to proceed.
The findings support proceeding — with conditions. Nothing in this package points to a hidden defect that should end your interest; two findings point to costs that belong in your offer, not after it.
Before or alongside your offer, we advise you to raise these four points:
Attach an independent foundation survey (F3O) as a resolutive condition, or agree with the seller that one is carried out before the deed passes.
Ask for the 2026 VvE meeting minutes and any resolution on raising contributions — and price your 1/6th share of the reserve shortfall (± €12,000) into the offer.
Budget for the erfpacht canon revision from July 2031; ask the municipality for an indicative revision estimate.
If you plan renovation, commission an asbestos inventory before signing the contractor.
The goal is not to win every point — it is to make sure the price you pay reflects what the documents actually say.
Sizing the offer
At the asking price of €585,000 the price per measured m² is €7,222 — in line with the street's recent sales, but those sales did not carry an unresolved foundation question.
A reasoned opening in the €560,000–€570,000 range, explicitly referencing the reserve shortfall and the survey condition, keeps you credible while pricing in the flagged follow-up costs of ±€19,000.
If the survey comes back clean and the VvE resolves the contribution increase, moving towards asking is defensible — the underlying apartment documents well.
