Buying a house in Eindhoven.
Expats who stay in Eindhoven for a couple of years or more fare well with the current market to stop renting and buy a house. The low transfer tax and mortgage interest make it more attractive to buy a house. The real estate agents of Hypodomus Eindhoven have built up a large network for expats within the technological heart of Eindhoven. As a result, over the last few months we have sold more than a third of our homes in Meerhoven to expats.

Customer review:
It’s convenient and wise to make use of the services a real estate agent provides. Remember, the selling real estate agent is your competitor. This way you can communicate on the same level as the selling agent. We are there to assist the buyer. This entails pointing out the pitfalls, helping out with building permits and even more importantly, negotiating for the best price. Hypodomus is your perfect partner when you are looking to buy. We even can help you with applying for a mortgage.
