Housing market in Haarlem
Houses in Haarlem are generally quite expensive. For many families, it becomes too costly to live in the center or even in Haarlem. Amsterdammers who want to live larger move just outside Amsterdam, to Haarlem. They have surplus value on their house in Amsterdam and go to live larger and quieter. So don't expect any bargains in this city. People who leave Haarlem often choose surrounding places where you get more value for your money.

A house that is sold quickly is a house from the '30s. These houses have a certain atmosphere and character. It's important that your house is ready to move into or has good expansion options. Constructing a dormer or sufficient space for extra insulation and a water pump. Sustainability also plays a role. With a sustainable house, you can get better mortgage conditions and save on monthly usage costs.
Selling tips from a Haarlem Real Estate Agent
Many houses in Haarlem are plagued by problems with wooden foundations. Problems arise in older houses with wooden pile foundations. The problems that occur are damp problems and mold. With older '30s houses or monumental properties, you are much less flexible with modifications. Placing solar panels on these houses is usually prohibited.
Energy label and extension possibilities
In addition, it is important that an energy label is present and that the label is attractive. This way, the house is sold faster. Extension possibilities help with the sale. One tip is not to change the entire house for the sale. Less is more. Show possibilities in the house and provide a house with minimal furniture for a spacious feeling. The house should not show any defects, must be clean, and must be well-groomed.

What is the best time of year to sell my house?

Do I need an energy label before selling my house?

What happens to my mortgage when I sell my house?
When you sell your house, you use the proceeds from the sale to first pay off the remaining mortgage debt. If there is any surplus after paying off the mortgage, you receive this amount. If the sale proceeds are lower than the mortgage debt, you will be left with a residual debt, which may require arranging with the mortgage lender. Keep in mind that you often need a notary and an appraisal for this. More information about surplus value can be found here.
What are the legal requirements when selling a house?
When selling a house, the legal requirements include having a valid energy label, fulfilling the duty to inform the buyer about the condition of the house and any defects, and correctly handling the transfer of ownership at the notary, including signing the purchase agreement and the deed of transfer. Additionally, the sale must be registered with the Land Registry. Read more about selling your house here.
