› FAQ › Buying & Selling › Buy first or sell first
In the current market, you can often get your current home sold quickly in popular areas. That is why you can choose to first buy a home and then immediately put your current home up for sale. If it is not certain whether you will sell the house quickly or if you need a certain surplus value to be able to buy your next home, it may be better to sell first. The question is also whether you can get enough bridging mortgage to finance the new home before your current home is actually sold. You can calculate yourself that this is correct, but the bank often calculates a lot more safely and, for example, often assumes 90% of the value. So they calculate with less surplus value than is most likely feasible. So let yourself be well informed and advised so as not to be faced with unpleasant surprises.
