Oosterhout (North Brabant) Houses for Sale: Prices and Buying Costs

The town has a compact centre, parks and good cycling networks, with the Biesbosch National Park a short drive away. Breda is next door, with a mainline station, and Tilburg and Dordrecht are within about 30 km. Oosterhout draws families who work in Breda, Tilburg or Rotterdam, as well as employees of regional logistics and food firms. Expect competition on well-priced family houses.

Buying is open to non-Dutch nationals. The tax rate depends on use: 2% if you will live in the house, 8% on any other home. Once your bid is accepted in writing you get a three-day reflection period before the notary's deed. Try to include conditions for mortgage approval and a building inspection, since sellers here often receive several bids.
