Buying a property in the Netherlands
The cost breakdown:
Apart from the purchase price of the property, you can reckon on around 8%-10% on average in additional charges. They can be broken down as follows:
  • you pay 6% property transfer tax on the purchase price of an existing property;
  • you pay the relevant charges of a notary’s office for the drawing up of a title deed and if necessary a mortgage deed;
  • administration costs are charged for taking out a mortgage loan;
  • you pay a fee for the services of an estate agent.
What does an estate agent do?
Most buying and selling transactions are supervised by an estate agent. The seller of a property employs the services of an estate agent for the sale of his property. A buyer employs the services of an estate agent for assistance with the purchase. An estate agent in the Netherlands is not allowed to represent the interests of both parties at the same time. We will of course be glad to tell you about the importance of the support of an estate agent.
