Multidisciplinary team
This updated version of the book contains the joint expertise and experience of various Loyens & Loeff attorneys at law, tax advisers and civil law notaries regarding real estate investment in the Netherlands.
Changes in real estate investments
From a legal perspective, several changes of note took place since the publication of the sixth edition of this book in 2022. The transfer tax has increased from 8 to 10.4% since 1 January 2023. Another big change is the introduction of the Environment and Planning Act (Omgevingswet) on 1 January 2024. The Act brings changes to the law relating to the permits real estate investors need for, for example, renovations. Lastly, as of 1 January 2025, a Fiscal Investment Institution may no longer hold direct investment in Dutch real estate.
More broadly, we see Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG) factors increasingly influencing the actions of real estate investors. For this reason, we have included a new chapter 7 in this booklet, specifically on that topic.
