Buying in the Netherlands?
Bidding without data
You don’t know what the property is actually worth — or whether the asking price is fair for the neighbourhood.
Most properties sell above asking price, sometimes up to 10% over.
Hidden risks you can’t see
Foundation problems, asbestos, outdated wiring — Dutch pre-war buildings have specific risks that aren’t in the listing.
Structural issues can cost tens of thousands to fix — and sellers aren’t required to disclose everything.
VvE and ground lease pitfalls
The VvE (homeowners association) and erfpacht (ground lease) are unique to Dutch property — and can add thousands in hidden annual costs.
Most Amsterdam apartments are on ground lease, and many VvE funds are underfunded.
How it works
Paste the property listing
Copy the property description from Funda (the main Dutch listing site) and enter the address.
