If you want to work abroad there are many things that you will need to take into account. Many rules and many obligations ensure common mistakes by expats. We from JuisteMakelaar try to protect you from these commonly made mistakes. We have made a list of 7 mistakes that are made by expats, so you don’t have to. Or read our article about: 7 things to look for when choosing a real estate agent
A mistake that is commonly made by expats is underestimating the cost of living in a different country. People tend to base their budget on food and other essentials on their expense at home. These utilities aren’t necessarily cheap in The Netherlands and can vary from the prices you are used to in your home country. Prepare with an ample budget and you might prevent unexpected trouble. Make sure you ask your new colleagues or friends for additional info.
The Netherlands isn’t a cheap country to live in, but also not really expensive. The cost of living at it’s own is for instance 4.25% higher than in the United States, but renting is 13% lower. However renting in big cities like Amsterdam can easily vary between € 1.300,- and € 2.000,- a month. Being able to make a realistic vision of the future concerning all the cost will be helpful. Also working with a professional financial adviser can give you adequate insight in your future finances as an expat.
A big mistake that is made by expats is thinking all the financial advisers are regulated. Unfortunately there are unregulated financial salespeople that will encourage expats that aren’t experienced to make unconsidered investment that will lead to issues with their finances. Luckily you can inform yourself about a financial adviser and see if the adviser is licensed or not. This will be a reliable indicator if you the financial adviser is trustworthy.
A mistake that is common by expats is not changing their tax status in their home country. If you intend to move abroad to work there, you will have to pay taxes there. Not changing your tax status at home will lead to being sought for tax in your home country and your expat country. Informing your local authorities will prevent you from paying double taxes.
Life insurance policies usually can be limited to your home country. When you are going to a new country as an expat you should check the policies of your current insurance. The insurances should cover you in your home country and your new country. If these policies aren’t comprehensive you should
A common mistake made by expats is neglecting their pension contribution. Make sure you maintain these contributions or make an alternative scheme. If you decide to return to your home country and would like to draw a state pension, is maintaining your pension contribution the best choice.
Another big mistake that is made by expats is not comparing local real estate agents. Expats tend to just cooperate with a real estate agent they know from word of mouth or just one of the popular real estate agents. However, not every real estate agent in The Netherlands fits your needs and wishes. By comparing real estate agents you can choose an agent that fits you and therefore is more profitable.

No, because all real estate agents in the Netherlands have a different working method, it is not yet possible to send a standard price list. This is partly due to various aspects, such as that you can agree performance bonuses with estate agents so that the standard commission is lower, or that you carry out a number of tasks yourself. Other reasons for not being able to give a standard price list are: the sales ranks of agent firms, the location of your home, quality of the real estate agent and extra services they offer.
