Buying a new-build property in Amsterdam

In addition to the existing housing stock, a new-build home in Amsterdam is an attractive option for many house hunters. In a city where the housing market is constantly changing and existing properties often disappear quickly, new-builds offer a sustainable and future-oriented solution. Whether you are a first-time buyer or have a family, new-builds in Amsterdam have a lot to offer.

Amsterdam is growing and innovating

New construction projects are springing up in a variety of neighborhoods: from Noord to Sloterdijk, from Amstel Station to the AMC. There is a lot happening in Nieuw-West, but also in the Sluisbuurt—not to mention Strandeiland, which will be a truly wonderful place to live. These areas offer modern amenities, good accessibility, and plenty of room for development.

Living in a new neighborhood

Living in a new neighborhood often means being close to amenities and excellent public transportation, but also benefiting from a neighborhood that is still evolving. A place where you can build a community together with your future neighbors.

Sustainable & comfortable living

New-build homes meet the latest requirements for insulation and energy consumption. Think heat pumps, underfloor heating, solar panels, and smart ventilation systems. This not only ensures comfort, but also lower energy costs and a smaller ecological footprint. In this way, you consciously contribute to a better environment, even in a city like Amsterdam.

Financial benefits of new construction

A major advantage of a new-build home is that you often buy it 'freehold'. That means no transfer tax, which can save you thousands of euros compared to existing properties. What's more, with many projects you can make your own choices in terms of finishes and layout. This allows you to create a home that suits your style and wishes.

Personal choices and housing preferences

Of course, there are also things to take into account. The waiting time for new-build homes must fit in with your life – it can sometimes take a few years from registration to completion. You may also have to pay double housing costs temporarily if your current home has not yet been sold. And often, construction interest is charged or there are additional costs for finishing.

So it's important to think carefully: do you have the time to wait for a new home that you can completely customize to your liking? If the answer is yes, then new construction is an investment in the future.
