I've applied for a job in Delft, so I'm investigating a move from the UK to NL and would really appreciate any hints and tips that someone who lives there might know better than the random websites I'm reading that are great for general stuff but are sometimes out of date. For example, energy costs are so crazy right now that comparison sites simply don't work and lots of places won't take on new customers, but this wasn't mentioned anywhere. So far my outgoings are: rent, electric (seems that I need to find somewhere without gas as the gas costs are *insane*), water, sewage, various insurances, food, petrol, clothes, internet/tv/phone and rubbish collection. I'm struggling to find any info on things like a Dutch equivalent to council tax for the Delft region so help there would be appreciated, as would help on places to live (Delft itself is too expensive on the whole), primary schools etc if anyone knows about them, and any other tips and pointers that might be useful.

Saladman posted:Reddit in general blows but for a highly specific question like that it’s probably a better place to ask, or at least to find out if there’s an even better NL-specific forum. I do think we have a couple Dutch-living-people on T&T though, maybe ask in the Europe thread if this one doesn’t get traction. Thanks for this. I tend to avoid Reddit as much as possible but I'll take a look.

Shibawanko posted:there are municipal taxes but no council tax, that's a british thing. remember to register yourself with the local government once you move in, i remember i didn't have to do that in the UK. everything basically goes through the municipality. get a house with a heat pump Thanks. The heat pump is something i've learnt just from looking at the energy prices and spotting some houses have pumps or even district heating. It makes house hunting even harder in an already crazy market though.
