A holiday house, holiday home or holiday property is a house that can be rented for holidays or used as a second home. A holiday home consists of at least a living room, kitchen, bedroom, shower, toilet and terrace. These days, holiday homes are becoming increasingly luxurious and larger, for example with two floors and/or a sauna in the garden.

Yes, at almost all holiday parks there are second-hand holiday homes for sale. For more information, please feel free to contact us without any obligation.

With various parties you can buy a holiday home including the land. This way you become the owner not only of the property but also of the land. It is also possible to rent the land or obtain it on a long-lease (erfpacht) basis. Depending on your budget and wishes, this can be discussed in a personal conversation.

Costs payable by the buyer (k.k.) means that the buyer pays not only the purchase price but also the additional costs such as notary fees and land registry charges. Free of transfer costs (v.o.n.) means that these costs are borne by the selling party.

Buying a holiday home has many advantages that vary according to the type of buyer. There are three types of buyer: the buyer for personal use, the buyer for partial personal use and letting, and the buyer who lets the property entirely. We would be happy to advise you on the best choice for your situation.

First of all, it is important to be clear about why you want to buy a holiday home and what its purpose is. After that, you can consider matters such as location, property type, park charges, letting options and tax aspects. We guide you through every step of the buying process.

Almost always the answer is yes. As the owner of a holiday home, you and your (grand)children may use all the facilities at the holiday park free of charge.

Park charges (also known as the park service contribution) are annual costs for maintenance of the infrastructure, use of the facilities and security at the park. The amount varies by park and is set annually.

More and more people are choosing to buy a holiday home and have it let. With various parties it is possible to let your property partially or throughout the entire year. You can indicate online yourself when you release the property for letting. Letting organisations work together with parties such as Booking.com, BungalowSpecials and Interchalet to achieve a high occupancy rate.

No, you do not need to set up a company. As a private individual you can apply for a VAT number and then become an entrepreneur without a Chamber of Commerce registration. In this way you can reclaim the VAT in your VAT returns, usually on a quarterly basis.

For income tax purposes, letting income is classified in box 3 as income from investments and savings. This is based on a notional return depending on your total assets, not on the actual rental income.

Have you bought a holiday home that you also make available for letting? Then you can reclaim the VAT partially or in full from the Tax Authorities. This applies if the holiday home is let for at least 140 days per year. Our advisers would be happy to explain this to you.

A holiday home under the margin scheme means that no VAT has been included in the sale price. This applies only to second-hand holiday homes that have not been let by the previous owner.

In the market, high returns are often advertised from which further costs are later deducted. At RecraDroom, the return is communicated transparently, so that you know exactly what you are left with net. The only costs you pay yourself are the insurance and municipal charges.
