What's covered

What a Dutch home insurance covers

Dutch home insurance covers two things: contents and buildings. Contents (inboedel) protects your belongings. Buildings (opstal) covers the structure you own. Liability (AVP) is a separate policy for damage you cause to others. Renters can skip buildings. You will find the other covers on the insurance overview.

Advice, application and closing

We compare insurers and advise on the cover your home needs. Our associated company arranges the policy you approve and handles a claim with the insurer when it happens.

What we do

We explain what each cover means in plain English. We make sure you understand the advice before you decide. We advise on your cover and pick up the tax that comes with your home. Owners with a mortgage can often deduct the interest in their tax return.

What's your situation?

Your situation decides which covers you need. A mortgage lender will ask for buildings insurance, as our [mortgage advice](/en/mortgage/mortgage-advice) page explains.

Renting

Buying

I'm buying

Your mortgage lender requires buildings insurance before completion. Buying an apartment? Then the VvE, the owners association, mostly arranges buildings cover.

Home insurance questions, answered straight

Is home insurance mandatory in the Netherlands?
No law requires home insurance. Mortgage lenders do require buildings insurance before completion. Contents and liability are your own choice, and a smart one. For an apartment, the owners association (VvE) normally arranges buildings cover.
What's the difference between inboedel and opstal?
Inboedel covers what you can move, opstal covers what's fixed. Picture tipping your house upside down: everything that falls out is inboedel. The rest is opstal, from the roof to the fitted kitchen. You insure buildings at rebuild value, not at the purchase price.
I rent. What do I need?
You need contents and liability cover. The building is your landlord's risk. Both get checked against your situation and arranged for you.
Can I get advice and policy terms in English?
Advice yes. Policy terms are in Dutch, and we translate what matters. You'll know exactly what is covered before you sign anything.
What happens when I have damage?
You call us first. Our associated company then handles the claim with the insurer.
Are you authorised to give mortgage and insurance advice?
TaxSavers B.V. is listed in the AFM register as an affiliated institution under licence 12017511 of our associated company. That lets us advise on mortgages, insurance and pensions. The application and closing run through our associated company. We take on the tax that follows.
