FAQ – Frequently asked questions
How difficult is it to rent a home in Haarlem or Utrecht as an expat?
Finding a rental in the Netherlands can be challenging due to high demand, competitive applications, and strict landlord requirements. With our experience and local network, we guide you step-by-step to secure the right home faster.
Can you help if I don't speak Dutch?
Absolutely! We handle communication with landlords, agencies, and utility providers for you. Also, we check the rental agreement. Language is never a barrier with our services.
How long does it usually take to find a rental home?
It depends on your budget, requirements, and market conditions. With our Full Rental Relocation Package, most clients secure a home within weeks, instead of months.
Do I need a job or Dutch bank account to rent?
Not necessarily. Landlords require proof of income, but we guide you on how to strengthen your application, so you have the best chance of approval even as a new expat.
I have a dog/ cat. Is it possible to rent with pets?
Yes! Renting with pets in the Netherlands can definitely be more challenging, as most landlords have restrictions. We help you find pet-friendly rental homes and guide you on how to strengthen your application to increase your chances of approval. (For example, adding a pet-clause to the rental agreement to decrease the risk for the landlord). With our experience, we make sure your furry family members are also welcome in your new home.
Are there any hidden fees?
No, all costs are clearly stated upfront so you won’t face any unpleasant surprises.
Do you offer services for families or corporate relocations?
Yes! We customize our approach to fit your situation, whether you’re single, a family, or relocating for work. Tailor-made solutions are always possible.
How do I know you are not a trustworthy?
Since 2014, we have succesfully helped hundreds of expats. We provide transparent, personal guidance, no call centers or hidden agendas. For our full relocation service and our VIP relocation service, we work on a basis of no cure no pay. It means you will only pay a small fee upfront (59 euro ex VAT), and the rest only after securing your new home & receiving the keys.
Can I upgrade from Full Package to VIP?
Yes! You can upgrade anytime during the process if you want extra viewings or premium support.
