- Negotiating a Raise in the NetherlandsB1
“We zitten in salarisschaal 8 en daar is het maximum €4.650.”
I understand your reasoning. €4,800 isn't achievable right now. We're in salary scale 8 and the maximum there is €4,650. I can offer you a raise to €4,550. That's two steps up.
- Mortgage and Buying a HouseB2
“Met €18.000 spaargeld zitten jullie ruim.”
You're both under 35 and this is your first property, so you're exempt from transfer tax. That leaves: notary fees, about €1,800 for both deeds, appraisal costs of around €500, the structural survey at €350, and my advice fees. In total, you should budget €5,000 to €6,000 in additional costs. With €18,000 in savings, you're well covered.
