Can I buy a new-build home (nieuwbouw) in the Netherlands?

Yes, you can buy a new-build home (nieuwbouw), which is usually sold “vrij op naam” (VON), meaning transfer tax and transfer-deed costs are included in the price. You typically pay in instalments (termijnen) as construction progresses, often using a building depot (bouwdepot) within your mortgage. New-build also tends to have a better energy label (energielabel) and lower running costs.
