Buying your first property has loads of advantages, both financial and emotional. It also provides you with a sense of accomplishment, the knowing you aren’t simply flushing money down the toilet on rent.
Making that special purchase, however, is not always an easy task. In this webinar we aim to make the process easier for you. In it, we’ll discuss:
- An overview of the Dutch housing market
- Securing a mortgage and how much you can borrow
- For employees
- For freelancers (ZZP’ers)
- The financial advantages of buying a house/property
- The costs involved
- Searching for a property
- Bidding, negotiating and important strategies to consider
- Signing & notarizing the contract (and other important documents)
- Getting the keys and moving in
- Tips & tricks you can’t find anywhere else! ;)
The journey to home ownership can be one of those joyful moments in life and the key to making it so is being armed with the right knowledge and help. That’s why we have enlisted our friends at Expat Home and Loan
