Swap your older apartment for a quality new build
Do you own an older apartment that no longer earns much and needs costly repairs? We arrange its sale and help you buy a better apartment in a new development – with lower costs, higher rent and better potential for capital growth.
When a swap pays off
Older apartments often look like a safe bet, but in the numbers they tend to be less favourable than they seem. A swap typically makes sense when:
Why an apartment in a new build
A new build is not just nicer – it is often a smarter investment, because:
Minimal repairs and worries
New wiring, windows and technology mean years without major spending and a lower risk of unexpected costs.
Low running costs
A better energy rating and modern technology reduce energy bills – attractive for tenants.
Higher and more stable rent
A quality apartment in a good location attracts more reliable tenants and keeps rent higher.
Growth potential
New projects in developing areas often have interesting room for capital growth.
Better financing terms
Banks usually view a quality new build more favourably, which helps with a mortgage.
Clean legal and technical status
A new apartment with no history of hidden defects and clear documentation means less risk.
How we help
We take care of both sides of the swap – selling the old apartment and buying the new one – so that you do not have to deal with anything:
Assessing your current apartment
We calculate the real return and market price of your current apartment and show whether – and by how much – a swap improves your position.
Arranging the sale
We prepare the apartment for sale and handle advertising, viewings and the whole sale at the best possible price.
Choosing the right new build
We shortlist quality apartments in new developments that make sense in terms of yield, location and growth potential.
Comparison in numbers
We compare the old and new apartment by yield, cash flow and costs so that you decide based on facts.
Purchase and financing
We help with negotiations, the purchase contract and a mortgage if needed, and coordinate the timing of the sale and purchase.
Letting the new apartment
After the purchase we arrange preparation, a tenant and full management if you wish, so the apartment starts earning right away.

Why swap with us
Decisions based on numbers
We only recommend a swap if it genuinely improves your yield and costs.
Sale and purchase under one roof
No need to handle two sides separately – we coordinate the timing for you.
An independent view
We are not tied to a single project – we choose the apartment that makes sense for you.

Overview in the app

See for yourself that you are better off

What our clients say
“My older apartment was no longer earning much. They sold it and found a new build with higher rent. I am better off.”
“We were afraid the swap would be complicated. RentControl calculated everything in advance and coordinated the sale and purchase.”

Frequently asked questions
Does a swap always pay off?
No – and that is exactly why we calculate everything first. We only recommend a swap if the numbers show you will genuinely be better off.
Do I have to sell before I buy the new apartment?
Not necessarily. We discuss and coordinate the timing of the sale and purchase and the financing options (for example bridging with a mortgage) for you.
Do you deal with tax on the sale?
We point out the tax implications of the sale (for example exemption periods) and recommend how to proceed. Specific solutions may require a tax adviser.
Does it have to be a new build?
The goal is a better and more profitable apartment – most often a new build, but it can also be a quality renovated apartment if the numbers are better.
Will you also let the new apartment?
Yes. We can arrange preparation, a tenant and full management, so you do not have to deal with anything.
