This property is offered under the KoopGarant scheme, which is a specific purchase arrangement offered by housing corporations. Under this scheme, the buyer receives a discount of 15 percent on the appraised value of the property. The asking price of 374000 euros includes a parking space with a buy back guarantee. The stated appraised value is 440000 euros. When the property is sold back to the corporation, any profit or loss is shared in a ratio of 15 percent for the corporation and 85 percent for the seller. An independent appraiser determines the market value at both purchase and sale. The purchase and sale prices are fixed and not subject to negotiation.

There are specific conditions attached to the purchase of this KoopGarant property. A self occupancy requirement applies, meaning the property cannot be rented out in whole or in part, nor can it be made available to third parties. Room rental or student occupation is not permitted. The mortgage must be arranged with the National Mortgage Guarantee (NHG). The corporation guarantees a quick sale if the owner decides to move, as they will buy back the property within three months.

The registration process for this property follows a specific procedure. Candidates who currently rent a social housing property from the selling housing corporation and have a matching income receive priority for this KoopGarant property. When multiple priority candidates apply, the candidate with the longest current rental contract takes precedence. A condition is that the current rental property must be terminated immediately after the financing contingency expires.

If no priority candidates apply, a lottery system will be used among the registered candidates. Registration is only possible for persons aged 18 or older. The person registering must be the ultimate buyer and occupant. If purchasing together, both parties must register through a single registration. The gross incomes of all buyers count towards the priority regulation. Multiple registrations from the same household will result in disqualification. Applicants must be reachable on their contact details, and if the seller cannot reach them within two days, they reserve the right to sell the property to the next candidate.

The delivery of the property will take place within six weeks of purchase. Buyers must demonstrate that the purchase price is financially feasible, which can be shown by providing advice from a qualified and recognized financial institution or advisor. Floor plans and dimensions are indicative.

This apartment presents a practical and well maintained living space in a convenient location in Rotterdam. The combination of three bedrooms, a terrace, a parking space, and an Energy Label A makes it a functional home. The proximity to public transport, the highway, and the amenities of both the Nieuwe Binnenweg and Historic Delfshaven adds to its appeal. The KoopGarant scheme provides an accessible entry into homeownership with a reduced purchase price, while the perpetual ground lease offers long term financial certainty regarding the land lease.
