Rent or buy in the Amsterdam region

People are constantly looking for a home in the Amsterdam region. Whether you're going to rent or buy is one of the first things you have to think about. As an expat, this decision will mainly depend on how many years you expect to stay here.

The number of international companies continues to grow and so does the demand for housing for expats. Prices of both private and rental properties have risen dramatically in recent years and it is expected that this will continue to be the case for the time being.

Be well informed about the laws and regulations in Amsterdam when buying or renting. Do you get a residence permit, how long do you have to wait for a parking permit, are diesel cars still allowed in the city, etc.

After you have decided whether you want to rent or buy, the question arises whether you want an apartment or a house. The housing market in Amsterdam is booming. There are now many companies that rent a house or apartment to expats in Amsterdam. However, in the city center, you will mainly find apartments. If you want to live larger then you can also look in the region between Amsterdam and The Hague where cities like Haarlem and Leiden are also very pleasant to live in.

Landlords are looking for a reliable tenant so make sure you have your finances in order and can show that you can pay the rent. Most leases are for at least one year. After that, you can usually cancel your contract on a monthly basis. There are also houses available for temporary rental if you want to live in Amsterdam for a short period of time. However, the prices for short leases are higher.

The easiest way to find a house in Amsterdam as an expat is to hire a local resident
