The purchase of this property is subject to specific conditions known as Koopgarant.

This discount significantly lowers the monthly living costs for the resident. Under the Koopgarant regulations, the buyer is assured of a quick sale when they decide to move again, provided they sell the property back to Vidomes.

Vidomes has set specific criteria for potential candidates. There is a preference for buyers who are vacating a social rental home in the Haaglanden region, which must be proven with a landlord's declaration. Another strict requirement concerns the income of the buyer. The gross collective income may not exceed 70,250 euros. For this specific apartment, Vidomes has indicated a preference for a single person household. Interested parties must prove their income with two recent payslips, an employer's statement, and a recent income statement from the tax authorities. If multiple suitable candidates apply, a lottery system will be used to select the buyer. If no candidates vacating a social rental home apply, the lottery will include all candidates meeting the income requirement. Furthermore, the feasibility of the mortgage must be demonstrated with a declaration from a mortgage advisor. It is mandatory to take out the mortgage with National Mortgage Guarantee (NHG).
