2026 🇳🇱 Home Buying 30-Day Preparation Checklist

This checklist is designed for expat residents, students, professionals and young families preparing to buy a home in the Netherlands. It breaks the 30 days before making an offer into clear action steps, covering budgeting, mortgage advisers, NHG, the 30% ruling, paperwork, viewings, inspections, bidding conditions, the notary process and BRP updates after moving in. Each step helps you understand what to do, who to contact, what to budget for and which risks to avoid.
