Jip en Britte op huizenjacht in Kopen Zonder Kijken na zorgen om zieke dochter: 'Was echt heel erg schrikken' 23.02.2026

Jip and Britte, a couple who experienced a frightening medical emergency with their eight-month-old daughter Belle, are featured on Kopen Zonder Kijken as they search for a new home in the Leiden region. Belle was diagnosed with a rare condition, hydrothorax, during pregnancy, causing fluid buildup in her chest that compressed her lungs and heart, a condition doctors had never seen. Now that Belle has recovered, the family wishes to relocate to Leiden, where the hospital that saved her is located, as Britte has applied for a job there. Initially seeking a home of at least 110 square meters with three bedrooms and a workspace for €550,000, they faced a challenging market. After adjusting their criteria to include a larger search area, fewer square meters, and an increased budget to €600,000, they successfully purchased a house in Lisse for €527,600. The renovation by Bob Sikkes exceeded their expectations, and the family is now happily settled, with the added joy of Britte's second pregnancy.
