Bid too low and you lose the house, bid too high and you pay more than you had to. In the Netherlands you usually bid without knowing what others offer. Your bidding advice report shows, for each amount, how likely you are to get the home.

  • Calculated with our own model, which data scientist Niek (MSc) spent 10 months building
  • Independent: we earn nothing from a higher bid
  • A fraction of what a Dutch buying agent (aankoopmakelaar) charges: €2,000 to €4,000

Where bidding on a Dutch home often goes wrong

Biedadviseur.nl started during our own search for a house. Time after time, someone else got the home. We found a buying agent too expensive, and we both suspected agents of making deals among themselves, something we did not want to be part of.

Dion even lost out on his dream home, because he had no idea what bid it would take. Niek ran into the same thing. Separately, we came up with the same idea: a platform that shows which bid gives you a chance at the home. And it works!

Calculate my bid

  • How much are the other viewers bidding?

  • What percentage above the asking price is enough?

  • Am I bidding too much, and is the home worth that amount?

  • Do I need a Dutch buying agent?

Read how much to bid on a house in the Netherlands, with figures per municipality. How an offer works, from bid to keys, is explained in bidding on a house in the Netherlands.

What you find in the bidding advice report

  1. Your chance of getting the home at every bid

    For each amount you see how likely it is that the home becomes yours, from a cautious offer to a bid that almost certainly wins. You decide how much risk you take.

  2. The expected sale price of this home

    The model weighs hundreds of characteristics of the home. You see straight away how far the expected price sits above or below the asking price. How the model calculates.

  3. Tips to make your bid stronger

    When to submit your bid, whether you can bid without conditions (voorbehouden) and why a bidding letter helps. When bids are close, Dutch sellers look at points like these too.

  4. At least five sold homes from the neighbourhood

    With address, floor area, year built and the actual sale price, plus a map of where they are. So you can check the advice yourself.

Frequently asked questions

Question not listed? Contact us directly via email or WhatsApp, in English or Dutch.

Doesn't the estate agent know this better?
The seller's agent works for the seller and wants the highest possible price. A buying agent (aankoopmakelaar) does work for you and knows the neighbourhood. Our report puts the officially registered sale prices next to that. So you can check any advice, including an agent's, against what buyers actually paid.
What if someone else still bids higher?
That can happen. The report gives chances, not guarantees. With a bid that has an 80% chance, you get the home in 8 out of 10 comparable situations. You choose how much risk you take. If the home goes to a higher bidder, you at least know you did not overpay.
Does this work in a neighbourhood with few sales?
Yes. Your report always includes at least five comparable sales, with address, sale price and a map of where they are. So you can see for yourself how close the comparisons are and how much they resemble your home.
Why is the report so much cheaper than a buying agent?
We do not join you on viewings and we do not negotiate on your behalf. Those hours are what make up the €2,000 to €4,000 fee of a buying agent. Our in-house model does the calculations, which is why a report costs €24.95. All the differences side by side: buying agent or bidding advice.
What if I am not satisfied with the report?
Then you get your money back. Send us a message via WhatsApp or email and we will arrange it.
The bidding deadline is tomorrow. Is it still worth it?
Yes. After payment you see your report online straight away, so even right before a deadline you have it in time.
Does the bidding advice work for a home that is not on Funda?
Yes. Search for the home by address. If we cannot find a listing, you fill in the property details yourself, such as the asking price, type of home and floor area. The more complete you are, the better the advice.
What if I don't get the home?
Then you do know where prices in that neighbourhood are. If you keep searching, the Home Alert costs €24 instead of €49 in your first month, if you bought a report from us in the past year. You then get the homes that match your search every evening, each with a bidding advice report.
Is my data safe?
Yes. We process your data in line with the GDPR, never sell it to third parties and use it only for your report. Read more in our privacy policy.
