Independent property advice for expats
Buying or renting a home in the Netherlands? Know what you are agreeing to.

A better-informed decision
You found a home. But do you know what is behind the listing?
An online advert rarely tells the whole story. Dutch agreements, the VvE (homeowners’ association), erfpacht (ground lease), service charges and restrictive clauses can be difficult to assess when the Dutch housing market is new to you.
We turn the available information into one clear decision document.
Are there restrictions or obligations you should know about?
Is the asking price or rent supported by the market?
What should you arrange before signing?
Our review
One property. Four essential checks.
Each part informs the next, creating one coherent view of the home and your position.
01
Document review
What do the documents actually say?
We review the available documents for ownership, rights, obligations, restrictions, costs, unusual clauses and missing information.
02
Property and use review
Does the property match your plans?
We assess what is included, the stated characteristics of the property and whether your intended use appears consistent with the available information.
03
Price or rent assessment
Is the price reasonable?
We compare the asking or agreed price or rent with relevant market information, comparable properties and the specific characteristics of the home.
04
Practical advice
What should you do before signing?
We translate our findings into clear conclusions, questions and actions for the seller, landlord, estate agent, notary or another specialist.
