How to apply for a mortgage in the Netherlands?

There are many banks in the Netherlands that offer mortgage services to expats who want to buy a property in this country. Even if each institution might have its own particular requirements, our consultants can explain to you and help you prepare the documents which are very likely to be asked from the applicants, by any bank. As such you will need to provide a valid passport and to be able to prove that you have stayed in the Netherlands at least six months. Expats applying for a mortgage will need to have a citizen service number (BSN) and to prove that their employment contract is permanent or on a sufficiently long period of time. 

Our immigration lawyer in Netherlands can help you decide which type of mortgage is more suitable to you. If you prefer to repay each month a fixed amount of money then you should apply for a linear mortgage. In Netherlands you can also choose an annuity which allows you to pay less and less money, the more so as your loan approaches the end.   

You are welcome to contact our experts in immigration who can inform you on the most important aspects of employing a Dutch mortgage service.
