When we asked expats in Netherlands if foreigners are allowed to own property, they answered...

"Yes, foreigners are allowed to own property in The Netherlands. Non-residents of the Netherlands are allowed to purchase property in the country, however, they must obtain a permit from the Dutch government before they can do so. The permit is granted on a case-by-case basis and is dependent on the individual's financial situation and the purpose of the purchase. Additionally, non-residents must pay a higher rate of transfer tax than Dutch citizens," said another in Netherlands.
