We continue to work on your behalf even after all is signed. We can to assist you with
We can also help you with (rental) furnishing and renovating your home, opening a Dutch bank account and enrolling your children in school (if required).
Hotel
This is always an available option and probably the best option on short notice. For longer periods this will be expensive. In some situations, a hotel is the best option, as all will be done for you: breakfast, dinner, cleaning the rooms and you do not have to buy any furniture.
Serviced apartment
If you are in Holland for the first time and settling in, you will most likely be waiting on your belongings from your home country and searching for a permanent residence, but as of yet have no furnishings for a home or apartment. You could consider renting a fully serviced apartment. This comes fully ready/furnished for you to move in.
We work closely with associates in e.g. Amsterdam that will be able to give you an excellent rate and have many apartment options for you to choose from in this beautiful city.
Apartments
Most popular option for short term, approximately 12 months or longer. The apartment type can be rented as a 2 to 5 room space. You are responsible for your own furniture and the interior decor which could include flooring and painting of the walls. We can also assist you in making it move-in ready.
Studio
This is a variant on the apartment type but then all in 1 room. Most of these types of apartments are rented by students. They are a cheap solution but they also have less space.
House
If you decide to live in the Netherlands with your family, a house would be a nice solution. You have a lot more privacy and space. But renting a house is more expensive most of the time.
It goes without saying that if you rent or buy something in the big cities the costs are higher. For example Amsterdam, The Hague and Rotterdam are more expensive than places like Zwolle or Almere. In general, Amsterdam is the most expensive city to live in. But if a big city is the location you would like to live close to, the smaller places around the big city might be very interesting as well. For example around Amsterdam you have Amstelveen and Hoofddorp and for The Hague you have Voorburg and Rijswijk.
As you can see in this picture the red area is the most crowded area in the Netherlands. In other words also the most popular area to live in. But this also means that the rate per square meter is also the highest. This is not only for rentals.
There are many rental agencies and sometimes a place to stay is only available for a certain number of days. So you need to be very quick and efficient.
Besides that, many agencies charge you without any real solution. So be careful with that.

It could be that you would like to see more about the Netherlands and different places to live by yourself. That sounds very logical and we are happy to assist you in this respect.
The short stay apartments could also be an option when you have arrived in the Netherlands so you can get oriented on a certain type of home or area for some days/weeks/months. During that short stay, you can search for a permanent stay by yourself or together with TOSS.
One thing which is important to also know is that also on a short stay you need to have a home address to be able to register yourself in the Netherlands.
The costs for a short stay are mostly higher than the permanent stay. But this depends on what kind of house/apartment you have chosen.
TOSS has several deals with short stay providers so we could have a nice option for you.
