Get your bearings in the housing market
Check current prices and bidding info with Walter Living
Use Walter Living for your house-hunt. This allows you to request up-to-the-minute price and bidding information on all properties. Is a property being offered at a very attractive price, or is the asking price far too high? Has it been sold before and come back onto the market again later? You’ll get to see it all!
Bidding and negotiating
Offer with certainty
An offer without a financing condition increases your likelihood of a successful bid. It is not without risks however, which is why Viisi, in collaboration with BNP Paribas, introduced the Offer with Certainty. After a thorough assessment, you will receive a certificate with a specific amount up to which your mortgage is pre-approved. You can make the offer while dropping the financing clause, making it much more attractive for the seller.
Legal guidance
During your search and after the purchase of your new home, you can make free use of the DAS legal helpline, which is useful for any legal questions surrounding the purchase, financing, transfer and renovation of your new home.
Are there any other questions on your mind? Your advisor is on standby.
Your personal advisor with Viisi is always available for questions during your search. If you need to act quickly, we’re there for you immediately!
Tailor-made mortgage advice
Tailored mortgage advice
When your bid has been accepted by the seller, you need to arrange a number of things. First of all the mortgage. During the consultation, you will discuss with us a number of things to make sure you make the right choices:
- How to structure the mortgage (repayments, fixing the interest, taxation)
- Which interests are available in the market, what are the differences in terms of monthly payments?
- Which mortgage conditions are important? And which lender offers the best deal for me?
- What are the processing times of mortgage lenders and where do I have the best chance on an smooth approval of the mortgage?
Insurance included
Advice on life insurance and other insurances is always included in our advice, without any additional fees. Because it is important to be confident about your financial situation regardless what happens in the future.
Need an appraiser or bank guarantee?
Look no further, because Viisi can also set that up for you. We work together with a number of knowledgeable partners, who offer good service levels and competitive rates.
A 40% faster processing rate for your mortgage
Viisi is unique in having our own team of lightning-fast and accurate mortgage underwriters. They check your documentation before sending it to the mortgage lender. You will know immediately if something is missing or when an additional document might be needed. This way, we make sure that mortgage applications from Viisi are approved 40% faster than average.
Do you have any further questions? Your Viisi advisor will be there all along until your mortgage has officially been approved. And after that as well!

Congratulations! You can head over to the notary and pick up the keys to your house.
Do you have any questions after that? Or need to arrange insurances for your new home? Your Viisi adviser is there for you!
Living in Alkmaar
Alkmaar is known around the world for its cheese. As you walk through the centre, you see many references to the appetising round cheeses, as well as beautiful buildings from the 16th to 19th century. Alkmaar boasts a total of 399 national monuments and 700 municipal monuments, the cityscape thus has protected status. You can also find characteristic old canals and many almshouses in the centre.
However, do not be fooled into thinking this is just a city for history enthusiasts. Statistics Netherlands (CBS) has rated Alkmaar the fifth best city for shopping because of the diversity of its retail offering. And like any modern city, the shops are open as usual on Sundays.
We briefly touched on scarcity on the housing market. The municipality is working hard to expand the number of homes, particularly in post-1990 newbuild areas (Vinex districts). Alkmaar has opted for diversity in these newbuild areas. For example, the Vroonermeer neighbourhood on the edge of Alkmaar. Many homes are beside the water or green spaces. Road traffic safety and privacy were important points of departure in the development of this area. Vroonermeer-Zuid was designed as a restricted traffic area, while Vroonermeer-Noord has a more rural character. As mortgage advisors, we monitor developments in Alkmaar closely.

Coffee in Alkmaar
Not only is Alkmaar the city of big cheeses, the coffee culture originated in this North-Holland city too.

His parents’ home used to be where Roses restaurant is now situated. What can we say; those with good taste will feel completely at home in Alkmaar.
