SUMMARY
Foreigners can freely buy property in Netherlands without restrictions for residents or non-residents, including residential, commercial real estate, and land. However, mortgage approval typically requires residency registration with BSN identification number. EU/EEA/Swiss citizens need registration but no visas, while non-residents face mortgage challenges requiring larger deposits. The buying process includes property search, appraisals, pre-sale agreement signing, mortgage arrangement, transfer deed signing before notary, and Kadaster registration. Additional costs include transfer tax (exempted for qualifying first-time buyers), notary fees (€1,500), and translator fees.

SUMMARY
Foreign individuals can buy property in Netherlands without ownership restrictions. While property purchase is unrestricted, securing a mortgage requires BSN number and strong financial history. Banks assess income, employment stability, and residency status for mortgage eligibility. Additional costs include notary fees, valuation fees, and translation costs. The Dutch National Mortgage Guarantee (NHG) can help lower interest rates with purchase price limits. The process involves finding property, making offers, securing financing, and finalizing with a notary, with purchase agreements typically in Dutch.
