# Buying a home in Rotterdam: prepare for a valuation

Buying a home in Rotterdam? Prepare for a valuation with a clear purpose, focused questions and an organised document list.

## Prepare for a valuation request

A home purchase often places the valuation inside a financing process. Begin with your lender's conditions. Note which report format is required, which valuation date matters and when the report must be available.

### Collect this information

- the address and property type;
- the purchase price and planned transfer date;
- information about renovations or leasehold;
- the adviser or lender's contact details;
- the current acceptance conditions for the report.

Read the [home valuation steps](/en/home-valuation-rotterdam-steps/) and the guide to [valuation costs](/en/property-valuation-costs-rotterdam/). Ask your lender which information it needs when anything is unclear.
