# Research and current information

See how figures, official information and changes around buying a house in Amsterdam are checked.

## How to read time-sensitive information

A figure receives a date, a clear origin and an explanation of what it does and does not say. Official rules and rates take precedence when a page makes a legal or tax claim.

The cost page uses the Dutch Tax and Customs Administration for transfer tax, Rijksoverheid for buyer costs and the Amsterdam municipality for leasehold. The [cost of buying a house in Amsterdam](/en/guides/cost-of-buying-a-house-in-amsterdam/) shows how those references fit into a buyer budget.

With every update, we check whether the date, intended use of the home and conditions still match. A source can remain unchanged while your situation changes. Read a figure with its context and ask a qualified professional to confirm it when needed.
