PARTEON PRIORITY SCHEME As a social housing tenant (with Parteon or another housing association in the municipality of Zaanstad), you are often given priority for the owner-occupied homes we offer. We do this because we aim to provide suitable housing for as many people as possible. The property vacated can then be offered to people on the waiting list for affordable rental accommodation. This gives more people the chance to live in a home that suits their circumstances. Have several tenants submitted bids? In that case, the tenant with the highest bid (within a specific priority category) will be given priority. Do you wish to claim priority? Please check carefully whether you are eligible for the priority purchase scheme via state your current housing situation on the viewing request form and inform the estate agent of this when submitting your bid. The priority scheme does not apply if your bid is below the asking price. Please note: priority means that we will discuss the property with you first. We will not sell the property below the appraised market value; this may be higher than the asking price.
