Living in a big city or just outside?

Favorable housing prices are a reason for many city dwellers to move away. Because many homes are underwater, homeowners are cashing in on the profits and then purchasing a larger and nicer home in a smaller town where prices are lower. For newcomers to the housing market, the higher prices are the reason they prefer to look for their first home outside the city, especially if they prioritize the quality of their new home over a wide range of amenities.

Life in a big city is dynamic and stressful. Heavy traffic, noise from restaurants and bars, and a higher crime rate can be reasons to move to a quieter area. A municipality just outside a major city often offers more space and nature. Houses are also more affordable there, allowing you to choose a safer neighborhood, a larger garden, and a more spacious house.

Whatever your reason for choosing a location for your new home in a large city or a quieter area, it's always recommended to have a building inspection performed. This way, you'll know the structural condition of your new home beforehand and avoid any unpleasant surprises. If you'd like more information, please feel free to contact us.

The cost of a building inspection (up to 250 m²) is only €489 including VAT. We'll conduct a comprehensive building inspection and you'll receive a building report. Do you have any questions? We're happy to help and can schedule an appointment with an expert inspector right away if you wish!
