The active Homeowners Association (VvE) is professionally managed. Service costs are 162.35 euros per month for the apartment and 16.55 euros per month for the storage unit. The property is being sold by a seller who requires the home for their own use or use by a first-degree family member who will have their main residence there. An anti-speculation clause applies, meaning the property cannot be rented out or sold for a period of two years. The property was formerly a rental home of housing corporation De Alliantie. Clauses regarding non-occupation, asbestos, and old age are applicable. The seller reserves the right of allocation until the signing of the purchase deed. The property is not being sold to an investor or a buyer with multiple properties in their name. Delivery can take place immediately.

There is a priority regulation for De Alliantie. Social housing tenants from De Alliantie or another corporation often get priority on the homes for sale offered by the association. This is done to provide appropriate housing for as many people as possible. The home being vacated can then be offered to people on the waiting list for an affordable rental home. If multiple tenants have bid, the tenant with the highest bid in a certain priority category gets priority. This priority is valid until the final registration date in case of an auction or bid. For this property, the final registration date is March 17, 2026, at 12:00 PM. To claim priority, one must register for email updates and state their current living situation. The priority regulation lapses if the bid is below the asking price. It is important to note that priority means the seller will engage in conversation with you first. The home is not sold below the appraised market value, which may be higher than the asking price.
