Housing & Orientation tours

The House of Expats is thé rental agent in The Hague and the surrounding places. This "Home Search" service was created as a result of the many requests we received from our customers in the past year. Our customers are mainly expats, international companies and embassies. We also work closely with relocation agencies, brokers and other companies active in the Expat and Global Mobility industry.

During a personal intake interview (by telephone or video call), we explain the entire rental process and determine your search profile based on your requirements and wishes. We then search, select and screen the most suitable homes for you. We search the housing supply within the housing market on a daily basis. We also have access to the latest housing stock that is often not yet on the market. Thanks to this screening process, you only view properties that meet your conditions.

Our Housing & Orientation Tour is a carefully planned route along the selected houses and short stay apartments. We start the day with coffee at our office or at a hotel around the corner to get to know us better and discuss the route. In between the viewings, we provide information about city districts/neighborhoods, shops and restaurants, handy apps, public transport and roads, and everything needed to give you a "soft landing".

In addition, we can put you in touch with partners who offer services such as relocations, immigration, opening a bank account, registering with the municipality, gyms, short stay providers and hotels, international schools, gas / water / electricity providers but also television / internet providers. We will also give you a “goodie bag” during the Housing & Orientation Tour, which will contain gadgets and flyers from our partners.

After the viewings, we evaluate these with you, we discuss the conditions and strategy for any negotiation. After an agreement has been reached on the conditions, we will get started with the paperwork. We check the rental agreement for legal content and conditions. We are present at the key handover to see if your new home will be delivered in accordance with the agreement. We carry out a thorough initial inspection and take the meter readings. This is recorded in a clear inspection report. In this way you will live in an ideal home under the best conditions.

Our standard service is tailor-made and can be put together “a-la-carte”. Of course we can put together packages for our Corporate Accounts. We often offer a Standard, Premium and Exclusive package, which can also be fully adapted to your wishes.
