Bizarre turn during concession conversation in Buying without Looking

When Lotte (25) and Rob (28) meet in Iceland, the spark immediately flies. Once in the Netherlands, Rob moves in with Lotte and her roommates in Den Bosch. If it is up to Lotte, they will continue to live in the city, but Rob prefers to go for something more green in a village nearby. The team of ‘Buying without Looking’ faces a difficult assignment, because will it be a house in the city or in a village?

“There’s a good chance I’ll have to stop looking tomorrow”


Lotte and Rob have been looking for a home for about a year and cannot find it together. Their housing requirements are clear: they are looking for a single-family home of at least 100 m2 with three bedrooms, a bath and a wood-burning stove. And all this for a budget of 390,000 euros. The only thing they don’t agree on is the location. When real estate agent Alex asks them what is more important, in the center or nature, Lotte resolutely calls a center and Rob calls nature.

Mother Bob Sikkes calls him after every broadcast of KzK with a review


Alex initially decides to keep the options open and to search both in Den Bosch and beyond. He gives the couple another present, namely the long-awaited ‘concession clock’. If this countdown is at zero and no house has been found yet, then they know they have to make a concession.

For example, consider one less bedroom or a larger search area. A day before the clock hits zero, Rob has to conclude that things aren’t looking good. Martijn has still not visited with the news that a house has been purchased. “I’m coming home now and the clock is one day and one o’clock. Well, then things are going fast. The inevitable conversation is coming.”

And he is right, because a day later realtor Alex is at the door. While Lotte and Rob anxiously await what he has to say, he immediately falls for the door. “It just doesn’t work. Chances are I’ll have to stop looking tomorrow.”

His message hits the couple hard. “Is that because of the budget?” Lotte asks him. “No, it’s because we’ve already bought a house,” he happily shares. When he then takes out a key, Lotte and Rob still don’t believe it. “How is this possible?!” exclaims Lotte.

Bob and Roos from KzK also bought their house without looking first


When the couple see their not yet renovated house just outside Den Bosch, they are very enthusiastic. They have, except for one minus, the kitchen, little to say about the house. They even decide to give Bob an extra budget of 10,000 euros.

Stylist Roos’ choices also prove to be a hit. Once in their renovated dream home, they are over the moon. “I think it’s so beautiful!” Lotte responds. Rob is also very pleased with the house. The use of color is particularly pleasing. “This is cool, a pink couch!”
