Dutch term or phrase: zie zin - voluitschrijven van percentages achter de komma

I'm struggling with this sentence:

Bij elke vijfjaarlijkse herziening zal iedere wijziging van de hierna genoemde referentievoet met nul komma nul vijfde procent (0,05%) een verhoging of verlaging van de trimestriele huurcoefficient van nul komma nul nul drieenzeventig duizen zevenhonderddrieennegentigste procent (0,00737793%) in dezelfde zin met zich brengen.

How does one write out these amounts in UK English?

and as well: 0.00737793%

Inversely, when writing a number bigger than 999 one must use the comma instead of the point:
Dutch 1.000 => English 1,000
