About Diemen
Diemen has been inhabited for nearly 1,000 years, making it one of the oldest settlements in the region—predating Amsterdam by two centuries. Today, Diemen has evolved into a commuter town, growing significantly due to its proximity to Amsterdam and the development of modern residential areas. However, remnants of its rich historical past remain visible in some of its architectural landmarks.
Due to this historical legacy, many houses in Diemen were built according to older construction standards. While these homes can still meet modern needs, a thorough structural assessment is crucial before purchasing. Aankoopmakelaar Amsterdam has extensive technical expertise, ensuring that any structural issues or potential risks are identified early in the process.

Reviews
Thanks to Erik’s guidance, the process was incredibly smooth, and we even managed to secure the first house we bid on. He carefully explained and shared all the necessary details, connected us with a great mortgage advisor, and managed the entire process. We truly felt guided and supported every step of the way.
We highly recommend Aankoopmakelaar and Erik to anyone looking to buy a home in Amsterdam!
Ben heeft ons daarna ondersteund bij andere bezichtigingen en er uiteindelijk ook voor gezorgd dat we op onze nieuwe woning een gepast, goed onderbouwd, en ook geaccepteerd bod hebben kunnen uitbrengen.
De ondersteuning en samenwerking gedurende het gehele proces waren daarnaast erg prettig en zorgden voor een stukje zekerheid en ontzorging. Ik zou Ben aan iedereen van harte aanbevelen!
