YOUR ULTIMATE GUIDE TO BUYING A HOME IN THE NETHERLANDS | Part 1

This is PART 1 of my highly requested step-by-step guide to buying a house / home in the Netherlands as an expat/international/non-Dutch citizen, where I will walk you through everything you need to know to prepare for house-hunting!
