Buying a newly built home in the Netherlands can be exciting, but the process is very different from buying an existing property. From registration and reservation agreements to construction schedules, staged payments, legal contracts, and delivery inspections, there are several steps that can be unfamiliar, especially for expats.

In this webinar, we will explain how buying a newly built home works in the Netherlands, what to expect from the current market, and how to prepare before committing to a new-build project. We will also cover the financial, legal, and practical details that buyers should understand before signing.
The webinar will take approximately one hour.

If you still have questions after the webinar has finished, you will be given the opportunity to schedule a private meeting with one of Welocate’s advisors.

Thinking about buying your first home here, but not sure if 2026 is the right

Fair question. Buying a home in the Netherlands can feel confusing at first. The rules are different, the words are weird, and the market can move fast.

In this free webinar, Welocate and ABN AMRO Bank will help you make
sense of it all.

We will explain how the Dutch housing market works, what steps to expect,
how much you may be able to borrow, and which costs can catch buyers
off guard.

You will also get simple tips to help you avoid common mistakes, from
bidding too fast to missing key checks.

Whether you want to buy soon or just want to understand your options, this session will help you take the next step with more confidence.

The Netherlands boasts one of the world’s most advanced, modern and diverse economies. Its GDP is nearing 1.2 trillion USD, with no end to the growth in sight. As a result, the Dutch constantly require skilled talent and are in competition with other countries looking to attract and retain talent. However, with only 18 million inhabitants, this tiny country needs help to support its growth. Hence the creation of the highly skilled migrant visa (HSM) and 30% ruling. These are designed to fast-track and entice immigration of well-paid and highly skilled talent (“Kennistalent”) from around the globe to support Dutch companies and the Dutch economy.
