The difference in monthly payments can make purchasing an attractive option for those planning to stay in the Netherlands for a longer amount of time.

Advantages of purchasing a house:

• Buying property helps to build up personal assets.

• Historical figures show that the real estate market in the Netherlands grows faster than inflation, which makes it an attractive investment.

• Due to inflation, mortgage debt will also decrease slightly.

• The Dutch tax authorities provide an annual tax benefit for home owners. Most of the time expats will receive the maximum tax refund.
