Aramis is building 150 new homes in Kalsdonk, which the association will not put up for rent nor for sale, but for what they call Te Woon (for living). This means residents can decide for themselves whether to rent or to purchase although if someone opts to rent, the possibility to buy remains open. Also, whenever someone decides to buy their home, but lacks the necessary means to do so (which is often the case, considering the pace at which property values go up in comparison to the incomes), it is possible to make use of Koopgarant. Koopgarant or “buy with guarantee” is an initiative of the housing associations Woonbron, Woondrecht, de Alliantie (incl. Aramis) and Saenwonen that gives buyers up to 25 percent discount on the regular property value and guarantees that whenever someone wants to sell their home, it will be bought back. In addition the scheme also ensures that should property values drop, any loss will be shared by the original selling party. This also applies to any profits gained from resale. |
