INVEST ABROAD
Invest in property in the Netherlands.
The Dutch market is tightly regulated and structurally undersupplied. For investors that means clear rules and deep liquidity in the Randstad, alongside meaningful regulation of the rental segment — the Affordable Rent Act brought a large share of stock under rent control.

Where buyers look
Frequently asked questions
Can foreigners buy property in the Netherlands?
Yes, without restrictions on nationality. Investors should note the 10.4% transfer tax for non-owner-occupied purchases and municipal purchase-protection rules in some areas.
How does Dutch rent regulation affect investment property?
The points system (WWS) caps rents up to the regulated segment, which the Affordable Rent Act extended in 2024. Whether a specific unit is regulated depends on its points score — part of any serious due diligence.
