How do I make an offer on a house in the Netherlands?

You make an offer (bod) on a Dutch home through the selling agent, stating your price and conditions such as subject to financing (voorbehoud van financiering) or a building inspection (bouwkundige keuring). In a tight market buyers often bid above the asking price (overbieden), sometimes by a set bidding deadline. A clear strategy and a financing reservation protect you if the mortgage falls through.
