FAQ

Is the consultation free?

Yes, your first call or office visit is completely free and without obligation. We use this time to understand your situation and create a clear plan tailored to your goals — whether you are a first-time buyer, moving home, refinancing, or investing.

What should I prepare for the mortgage consultation?

No specific preparation is required for the initial consultation. The first meeting is focused on understanding your situation and answering your questions. While having a general overview of your income or a recent payslip can be helpful, it is not necessary. We will guide you through every step with clarity and care.

Do expats get a higher interest rate?

No. In general, mortgage providers in the Netherlands offer the same interest rates to expats as they do to Dutch nationals.

How many years should I have lived in the Netherlands to get a mortgage in the Netherlands?

There is no fixed number of years you must have lived in the Netherlands to qualify for a mortgage. In many cases, you can apply as soon as you are legally living and working in the country. What matters most to lenders is your income stability, employment contract, and residency status — not the number of years you have been here.

Does the mortgage interest rate affect how much you can borrow?

Yes, the lower the interest rate the more you can borrow. You can easily see this for yourself when using our handy Maximum Dutch Mortgage Calculator.

Bart was an amazing advisor; especially, given my situation as an American expat. He made it clear on what the process would be, documentation, and even guided me through some portions to help me understand how to best approach the Dutch home buying process. Overall, I would recommend anyone to work with OHAO and Bart as he will take good care of you.
