Can I buy a house on a temporary contract in the Netherlands?

Yes, you can usually buy a house on a temporary or fixed-term contract (tijdelijk contract) if your employer signs an intentieverklaring stating the intention to make it permanent. For flex and agency workers a perspectiefverklaring assesses your income prospects instead. Lenders look at your work history, current income and contract type to decide your borrowing capacity.
