← Why NotaHome
A visit often starts with a feeling: can I live here? Then come questions about the building, the documents, the budget and the agreements. Here you find our offer and explanation to prepare those next steps.

Your questions, step by step
Buying a home is a big step. We help you understand what you are signing, what costs you may expect and what still needs to happen.
Why do I go to the civil-law notary for this?
Contact us before signing an offer. The civil-law notary checks the arrangements and examines whether the seller can transfer the home.
A notarial deed is required for the transfer of your ownership right when purchasing property.
How do I buy a home?
Have your budget and loan checked by the bank.
Have the offer and then the sales agreement with all appendices reviewed.
After the investigations, bank instructions and settlement follows the deed.
How does this proceed and how long does it take?
Usually the deed is signed within four months after the sales agreement. A suspensive condition can influence the starting point.
Have the final date and the deadline for obtaining your loan confirmed separately.
Which documents should I provide to the civil-law notary?
Prepare what you already have. You do not need to wait until your folder is complete to make an appointment.
Is a document missing or do you not know where to find it? Check the help for each document. We will discuss what the office can obtain for you and what you still need to provide yourself.
Where can I find this?
Provide the complete version with date, attachments and later amendments. Do you not have this document or do you not know if it exists? Select “Help needed” and discuss it with the office.
Where can I find this?
Request the document from your bank or download it from your own online banking environment. State the date and file reference. Provide statements, never passwords or access codes.
Where can I find this?
Download a recent bank statement from your bank account or find the deed of gift in your deed folder.
Where can I find this?
Provide the full text and any amendments. Look in your deed folder or Mijn akten. Not everything is digitally available; if necessary, indicate which office drafted the deed.
Where can I find this?
Check in the sales dossier for your house documents. For a purchase, request these documents from the seller or estate agent. For a sale, we agree which certificates are missing and who requests them.
Where can I find this?
Search among your house documents, architect or contractor. Report renovations for which you find no documents. The office discusses which information is needed from the municipality or an expert.
Where can I find this?
Request the documents from your syndicus or find them with the deed of purchase. Provide the contact details of the syndicus so that the office can request the necessary information.
These check marks only remain on the opened page and are not sent to the office.
Open the checklist: ready, need help or not applicableWhat does the civil-law notary do and investigate?
- Who is the owner and who is authorised to sell?
- Are there mortgages, attachments, pre-emptive rights or usufruct rights?
- What soil, urban planning and other real estate information is required?
- Do financing, conditions, taxes and settlement correspond with the agreements? The civil-law notary does not conduct a technical building inspection.
We agree on which searches the office will conduct and which information you, your bank or another expert will provide.
What should I pay attention to before I sign?
Check the address, what is included, the price, your ownership share, the financing, the handover of keys and any further occupation. Ask for clarification about access across your land, rental and renovation obligations.
Is a passage still unclear? Feel free to ask for an explanation with an example from your own situation. Only sign when you understand what you are agreeing to.
What else must I arrange afterwards?
The office monitors the registration and transfer. You arrange the insurance, meter readings, energy and water contracts, change of address and applicable works.
Keep the post-intervention dossier with the property.
Transfer documents, insurances and practical aftercareWhich practical tips can help me?
An offer is not a non-binding reservation. Have a financing condition drawn up before you sign and check the agreed response period.
What do these words mean?
- Compromise
- the sales agreement, which can bind you even before the deed.
- Suspensive condition
- an arrangement making the execution dependent on an uncertain event, for example a loan.
- Easement
- a right in favour of another parcel, for example a right of passage.
Where can I find more explanation or help?
You do not have to phrase your question in legal terms. Tell what concerns you, what you want to arrange and if an important date is approaching.
We will look together at the next step. We agree in advance on how the office will assist you and what costs are involved.

View the property on BidditWhy buy through the offer of NotaHome?
At NotaHome, the presentation of the property and the notarial preparation come together at the same office. You can submit questions about the offered property and the next steps to us. Where an answer is still missing or additional investigation is required, this must be made clear.
So you are not only looking at photos. You can also review the available documents and have explained what they mean for your plans. Receiving a document and understanding what is in it are not the same.
The civil-law notary remains independent and impartial. You retain the free choice of your own civil-law notary, even when you purchase a property from the NotaHome offer.
Preparing your visit
First open the full property profile. There you will find photos, features, available documents and visit information. Then note what you want to know yourself: does the layout suit your daily life, which works are you considering and when do you want to move?
During the visit, look both at what appeals to you and at what you do not yet understand. How is it heated? Which rooms and appurtenances belong to the sale? Are there common parts or costs? Which information still needs to be confirmed?
For example: an apartment with garage
You see a garage in the photos. Ask whether it is included in the published price and in the sold property. Also ask which costs belong to the apartment and whether the building provides for works. In this way the presentation becomes a starting point for targeted questions.
What do the documents tell you?
The energy performance certificate, abbreviated EPC, provides information about the energy performance of the home. It is useful to look at the label together with the further data. Ask what you can infer from this for your use or possible works.
Other documents may concern urban planning, soil, electricity or legal ownership. Which documents are relevant or required depends on the property. Ask what is present, what is still being requested and which points of attention emerge from the documents.
In the case of an apartment, co-ownership also deserves attention: the parts of the building you share with other owners. Ask for the available information about common costs, decisions and planned works. These may influence your future expenses.
A mention that you can renovate or use something as you wish sometimes requires further checking. Present your concrete plan before assuming that it is possible.
Your budget is more than the purchase price
In addition to the price of the home, taxes, registration costs, credit costs and works can determine your total budget. In an apartment, ongoing common costs also count. Request the amounts relevant for your purchase to be calculated.
Make a distinction for yourself between what you have to pay at purchase and what you can afford monthly thereafter. A home that fits within your purchase budget must also leave room for maintenance, energy and your other expenses.
The fee for a sales mandate and the purchase costs for a buyer have a different basis. We explain the costs based on your own situation and the specific property.
Understand first, then make an offer
An offer can have legal consequences. Therefore, do not assume everything remains non-binding until the notarial deed is signed. Have the price, conditions and validity period clearly recorded and request an explanation before sending the offer.
Do you still need financing? Discuss whether an appropriate condition is necessary. A suspensive condition for credit means the sale is made dependent on obtaining the agreed credit, according to the precise text and deadlines. This protection does not automatically arise from the fact that you are still in talks with the bank.
The date on which you can use the property and what is sold with it must also be clear. The goal is that buyer and seller understand the same when they commit.

More points to consider for your own situation
Which elements exactly belong to the sale?
Ask about the house, garage, cellar, storage rooms and any other rights. Have verbal explanation correspond with the property description and sales documents.
Which costs or works do I still need to plan?
Review energy, maintenance, possible renovations and, in case of an apartment, the common charges. Also ask which information is not yet fixed.
Are my plans for the property possible?
State concretely what you want to do, for example renovate or use a room differently. Investigate which information or approvals may be necessary for that.
What must my offer contain to properly reflect my intention?
Discuss price, conditions, validity period and financing. Have the offer reviewed before you submit it.
How does the further process proceed and who guides me?
Ask which steps follow after an agreement, which documents are still needed and who answers your questions. You can choose your own civil-law notary.
