We arrived in the Netherlands in September 2020 coming from Colombia. Our research prior to arriving told us that it was best to buy a house than to rent a place. Looking through expats web sites we found Expat Mortgages and we assisted to an online webinar where they talked about their services. After a few missteps upon arrival, we decided that it was best to have some help on our mortgage since we didn’t know the country and how things work. And that was the best decision we could make.
