Let us explain how we can help
Renting a property in the Netherlands can be a confusing process, full of pitfalls, often hidden costs and complex contracts that are difficult to terminate.
First you need to find suitable properties that meet your criteria, visit different ones and then start the process of negotiating the price and contract conditions. It is very important to have an expert helping you during this process. With your interests at heart our agents know what to watch out for and understand the Dutch language as well as the legalities.
At Welocate we have created the Home Renters Plan to help expats rent a property for short, medium or long stay. Our experts can help you through all steps to find the right rental home for you.
We have developed a complete package of services for a fixed price to assist you. The Home Renters Plan takes all your worries away through the entire renting process.
We will be there to help you right from the start to find suitable properties that are within your budget and specified requirements.
The following show you the steps required to rent a home in the Netherlands as well as explain how we can help you.
The first step is for you to decide which option of the Home Renters Plan best fits your needs. This depends on where you are in your rental journey and the level of support that you may require. In the steps below, we use the following symbols so you can easily see what is included with the four packages we offer:
We provide a dedicated advisor for you to discuss your exact requirements and create a personalised profile. We utilise this information to search for your ideal properties, and it also helps us promote your suitability to prospective landlords.
Upon completing your profile, we start searching for a suitable property. We use various sources such as our extensive network, checking multiple websites for availability, and utilising proprietary automation in order to find properties before other people become aware. In this way, we ensure you have the highest chance of finding ideal properties.
In the current fast-moving rental market, speed is of the essence. Upon finding a suitable property we will immediately arrange a viewing on your behalf. This gives you the best possible chance of being able to secure an appointment.
Once we have booked a viewing, we will immediately contact you to check if you find the property suitable. If you like the property and want to continue, there are several options available for attending the appointment as described below:
It is essential, at this stage, all relevant information is provided to the person or company renting the property. Speed is of the essence to increase your chances. If you wish to proceed with renting the property, we will discuss the best approach, and after obtaining your approval, we will submit an offer on your behalf.
We will assist you in setting up your electricity, gas, water and internet ready for when you move into your new home. Before moving in and receiving the keys, you will usually need to pay the first month's rent and the agreed deposit into the bank account specified in the contract.
We will be there to help with the check-in and make a detailed record of the condition of the property and furnishings, note the meter readings and answer any questions you may have.
Welcome to your new home! We are more than happy to provide additional assistance after you move in, should you require this. Feel free to contact us with any questions.
