Find an agent, search together for the right home, the agent negotiates on your behalf and organizes the contract is correct and also looks out for your interests with regard to the buying of the property. However organizing the mortgage is just as important and after signing the contract for your wonderful new home you only get a restricted time limit to get the mortgage in place. The mortgage payment is often a substantial portion of your monthly expenditure, it is therefore advisable to be well informed of the specific conditions the various different mortgage companies require, especially where Expat mortgages are concerned before offering a mortgage. The Expat conditions can vary considerably from one mortgage company to another: • How much can you borrow on the base of your income (30% rule)? • Is your ‘home country’ within of the EU or not? • What is the maximum percentage of the value/cost of the property you can borrow? • Is it necessary to repay a percentage of the mortgage earlier? If yes then how much an in how many years? • Is it possible to rent out your house should you relocate out of the country? • Can you use your current life insurance as security on the loan? • Do you own other properties overseas? Alongside the, often restricted, conditions the lender requires, the form of the mortgage itself is also very important: • Certain types of mortgages are only interesting if you will own the property in the Netherlands for a minimum of 20 years. • Is a life insurance policy obligatory? • What are the pro’s and con’s of an Endowment or special Endowment mortgage? • What are the risks with an Investment mortgage? • Is there a fine incurred should you wish to sell your house?
