Why the Moerland Combi-Deal is a timing advantage

The Moerland Combi-Deal brings your sale and purchase under one roof, with full guidance on both sides and a €750 discount when combined. One team sees your whole picture—your timeline, financing path, and risk tolerance—so the sequence of events can be tailored to your goals.

What you can count on with Moerland:

• Clear strategy from A to Z. From valuation and marketing to negotiation and closing on your sale, plus end‑to‑end purchase guidance.
• Over 30 years of market experience in and around Amsterdam Nieuw‑West with NVM‑certified brokers.
• Professional property presentation and great (online) visibility for your sale, with listings on the Moerland website, Funda, and display in the agency’s street‑facing window.
• Legal and technical due diligence on your purchase, including ground lease (erfpacht), easements, VvE finance and minutes, and the structural condition of the home.
• Smooth closing support. The notary drafts the purchase deed; your broker attends the key‑transfer appointment. Buyers benefit from a three‑day statutory cooling‑off period after signing the purchase deed.
• Cash‑flow friendly settlement. Sellers can choose to have Moerland’s fee settled via the notary from the sale proceeds on completion.

Pro tip: If you also need financing support, Moerland offers mortgage advice in cooperation with Hypotheek Visie (first consultation free).

Sell first or buy first? Choosing the right sequence

Both approaches can work—the best choice depends on your risk comfort, financing, and market momentum. Here’s a high‑level view to discuss with your Moerland broker.

Option 1: Sell first

• Advantage: Certainty about your sale price and completion date helps you buy with confidence.
• Tactics with Moerland:
  • Use a realistic valuation and an assertive marketing push (Moerland lists on Funda and their site, and showcases your home in their office window).
  • Expect Moerland to plan approximately two weeks of viewings once your listing goes live before setting the bidding deadline.
  • Coordinate your target transfer date with your subsequent purchase plan.

Option 2: Buy first

• Advantage: Secure your next home without pressure, then sell to fit your move‑in.
• Tactics with Moerland:
  • Leverage full purchase guidance (analysis of value, legal checks, negotiation) on a no cure, no pay basis.
  • If discretion is helpful, consider Moerland’s Stille verkoop (off‑market) to test buyer interest while you finalize your new home.
  • Time your sale’s transfer to align with the purchase handover at the notary.

Tip: Discuss financing scenarios with Hypotheek Visie (first consult free) to align dates with your mortgage conditions. Contact: 020‑2360511 or amsterdamnieuwwest@hypotheekvisie.nl.

A practical timeline blueprint (sale and purchase)

Below is a structured sequence that integrates Moerland’s process milestones. Your broker will tailor dates to your situation and the property’s market response.

Part A — Selling with Moerland

1. Preparation (documents, valuation, presentation)

   • Arrange an NWWI‑validated valuation if needed (Moerland delivers within five working days after inspection; fee €749 incl. VAT).
   • Decide on optional home styling or a clear‑out (Moerland can organise this; styling costs are separate marketing expenses added to the final invoice).
   • Plan your preferred transfer window to coordinate with your purchase.

2. Go live and viewings

   • Listing published on Funda and Moerland.nl; property is also showcased in the office window.
   • Moerland generally schedules about two weeks of viewings after going live, then sets the bidding deadline.

3. Offer selection and purchase deed

   • Once you select a buyer, Moerland forwards all documentation to the notary, who drafts the purchase deed.
   • The buyer has a three‑day statutory cooling‑off period after signing.

4. Towards completion (delivery at the notary)

   • The buyer (kosten koper) typically chooses the notary. Moerland can recommend a notary upon request.
   • On completion day, you sign the deed of delivery; keys and guarantees are handed over. The notary registers the deed and transfers your net proceeds the next working day.
   • If you opted to settle Moerland’s commission at the notary, it’s deducted from the sale proceeds.

Part B — Buying with Moerland

1. Property search and due diligence

   • Moerland assesses value drivers, the home’s structural condition, zoning, ground lease, easements, and VvE financials and minutes.

2. Negotiation and purchase deed

   • Your broker handles negotiations to secure price and conditions aligned with your sale timeline.
   • The notary drafts the purchase deed; you’ll receive guidance while reviewing and signing.

3. Transfer and key handover

   • Your Moerland broker attends the key‑transfer appointment at the notary.

The critical dates to lock in

When synchronizing sale and purchase, put these milestones on one shared timeline:

• Listing live date (sale)
• Viewings window and bidding deadline (sale)
• Offer acceptance date (sale and purchase)
• Signing of purchase deeds (both transactions)
• Buyer cooling‑off end date (your buyer’s deed)
• Finance and other condition deadlines (purchase)
• Final inspection and notary delivery dates (both sides)
• Move‑out/move‑in logistics

Aligning these checkpoints early helps prevent storage gaps, double moves, or unnecessary interim housing.

Cost and cash‑flow planning for smooth timing

• Commission settlement at the notary: As a seller, you can choose to have Moerland’s fee deducted from proceeds and paid via the notary on completion.
• Marketing and presentation: Professional photography, plans, video, and 360‑degree assets are part of Moerland’s recommended sales package; related marketing expenses (and optional styling) are invoiced separately and settled at the notary.
• Valuation for financing: An NWWI‑validated report from Moerland is accepted by Dutch lenders and is typically delivered within five working days after inspection (fee €749 incl. VAT).
• Mortgage guidance: First consultation with Hypotheek Visie is free; useful for aligning condition deadlines and transfer dates.

Scheduling within office hours

Moerland schedules viewings and consultations on weekdays, Monday to Friday, 09:00–17:00. Build your planning around these hours—especially for key steps like listing preparations, guided viewings, and pre‑signing reviews.

Practical takeaways you can apply today

• Define your preferred sequence (sell‑first or buy‑first) with your Moerland broker and set a target transfer window.
• Book a free introductory meeting to align negotiation strategy, condition deadlines, and notary timing across both transactions.
• Prepare your sale early: valuation, presentation assets, and optional styling to maximize first‑two‑weeks impact.
• Use Moerland’s purchase due diligence to avoid delays later (ground lease, VvE, easements, structural state).
• Choose dates that create a clean handover: plan the buyer’s deed of delivery to precede your own purchase transfer by a manageable margin.
• Consider Stille verkoop if you need discretion while you secure your next home.
• Opt to settle commission via the notary to simplify cash‑flow at completion.
• Keep all milestone dates in one shared calendar and confirm each in writing.
