Buying or renting a house in The Netherlands
On Saturday October 15th the Holland Expat Center South - Maastricht Region will be organising an information session in cooperation with ABN-AMRO, La Bergère Apartments, the Institute for Transnational and Euregional cross border cooperation and mobility / ITEM and Pooters Estate Agency.
Are you an expat? It could be a smart move to buy a house in the Netherlands! Your mortgage payment might be lower than the rent you pay and you might even save on taxes. But there are a lot of rules and regulations.
If you have worked and lived in the Netherlands for six months or longer, you may be eligible to buy a house! However, there are a lot of things to consider when you start the process of looking for a house, arranging your mortgage and finally going to the notary. Internationals in the Netherlands often have questions such as: Where do I start looking for a house? Can I afford to buy a house? Do I need to use my own savings? How does the legal and tax process work?
During this event you will receive the following information:
- What is required to buy or rent a house in the Netherlands
- How to apply for a mortgage
- An idea of the cost of housing in the Maastricht Region
- Things to consider when buying or renting a house in the Netherlands
