Dutch Yacht Broker-anyone have a view on buying in Holland?

Hi, I'm also hoping to get a boat from Holland asap - could you possibly post the English translation of the standard HISWA contract? Or email directly ybw'AT'arf77.f9.co.uk (replacing AT with @)

Many thanks,

Anna
 
Hi, I'm hoping to buy in Holland through Wolfrat in Loosdrecht. Anybody know of, or had dealings with, this broker? Would also appreciate a copy of the English translation of HIWSA contract.
many thanks

Well I've just bought a steel yacht in Holland and found the whole experience perfectly OK. I spoke to several Dutch brokers but finally bought through Ancasta, though I didn't think the Dutch were any different to their UK counterparts.
As for the survey, gaining UK insurance approval for the surveyor was the only tricky part. After that it turned out to be a standard report - pointing out potential problems as well as existing ones. I just chose the HISWA approved surveyor closest to the boat.
One final point, which may be because I was not using a Dutch broker, I had the survey done prior to placing any deposit so I could have walked away if it had not been satisfactory.
