Frequently asked questions

Many home buyers and sellers have similar questions about working with a real estate agent in Amsterdam. You’ll find the answers to the most common ones right here.

Why should I buy a home instead of renting?

Buying offers more than just a place to live. You get the freedom to personalise your home without landlord restrictions. In many cases, monthly mortgage payments are lower than rent. You also benefit from tax deductions on mortgage interest and long-term property value. Especially if you plan to stay for a few years, owning a home brings stability and a real sense of belonging.

Can expats get a mortgage in the Netherlands?

Yes, expats can apply for a mortgage. We’ll connect you with trusted advisors who understand international situations and explain your options clearly. Your residency status or eligibility for the 30% ruling can also influence what’s possible.

What is the 30% ruling and how does it affect buying a home?

The 30% ruling is a tax advantage for highly skilled migrants. If you qualify, it can increase your net income and, in some cases, improve your mortgage options. We’ll help you find out whether you’re eligible and what it means for your home search.
