Find a home without navigating the market alone

Finding a home is often the least predictable part of moving to the Netherlands. We help international employees and families understand the market, identify realistic options, coordinate viewings, communicate with landlords and review the rental agreement. From the first search to utilities and registration, Talcom keeps the housing process moving.

Moving to the Netherlands with local support

Housing support that fits your move

Your housing search depends on where you are moving from, when you arrive and whether you relocate alone or with family. These are the main ways we support the search.

The Dutch rental market changes quickly and landlord requirements differ. A successful search depends on a realistic budget, location flexibility, documentation and fast decisions when a suitable property becomes available.

Three ways your search can start

Finding suitable housing in the Netherlands

Searching before arrival

You do not always need to wait until you are in the Netherlands. We can identify suitable properties and, where in-person viewings aren'tpractical, arrange video calls or send photos and videos, so you can makedecisions before you even move.

Searching after arrival

Already in the Netherlands? We help structure the search, coordinate relevant viewings and communicate with landlords or agents so opportunities do not get lost in the process.

Moving with a family

Schools, childcare, commute and space all affect the housing decision. We help balance those priorities and build the search around the needs of the whole family.

Remote viewings when you are still abroad

Waiting until arrival can put extra pressure on the housing search. Talcom can attend suitable viewings on your behalf, assess the property, flag practical concerns and give you direct feedback. This helps you decide faster and can increase the chance of securing a home before you arrive. We only recommend moving forward when the property fits the agreed budget, location and requirements.
