Dutch house prices rose around 8.5% nationally in 2025, according to De Nederlandsche Bank, and homes are selling in under five weeks on average. Market conditions are broadly in your favor as a seller.

That said, the decisions that most affect your outcome as an expat seller rarely come down to the market. They are about your mortgage terms, your tax position, and your personal timeline. In this webinar, we’ll cover everything you should sort out before you set a date.

Buying a newly built home in the Netherlands can be exciting, but the process is very different from buying an existing property. From registration and reservation agreements to construction schedules, staged payments, legal contracts, and delivery inspections, there are several steps that can be unfamiliar, especially for expats.

In this webinar, we will explain how buying a newly built home works in the Netherlands, what to expect from the current market, and how to prepare before committing to a new-build project. We will also cover the financial, legal, and practical details that buyers should understand before signing.
The webinar will take approximately one hour.

If you still have questions after the webinar has finished, you will be given the opportunity to schedule a private meeting with one of Welocate’s advisors.

The Dutch Brainwash is an intensive Dutch course in the center of Amsterdam. It has a unique approach that is totally different from any other language course that you can think of. Thanks to a very special combination of powerful learning techniques and personal coaching, great results are possible within a very short time. Within 7 days you’ll notice how easy it is to speak about any subject that you like, in Dutch!

Bringing your Dutch to a whole new level is relatively easy. But… you have to know how to do it. Mainly, it only works if you can see that Dutch is a logical, consistent and funny language. Don’t worry if you are not convinced of this yet. Step by step you can learn how to construct your own sentences, how to explode your vocabulary while thinking in pictures and which mindset you can use so that you can achieve your goals even faster…

When most people think about learning, they think about retaining loads and loads of information. But… if you think about it, it is not true! Speaking a language is also about feeling at ease and having confidence. Therefore, a positive experience is one of the most important things, something that is easily ignored by most people.
