How many mortgage lenders does OHAO work with?

We work with and actively compare the latest interest rates from over 40 mortgage lenders across the Netherlands — including major banks like ING, Rabobank, and ABN AMRO, as well as pension funds, insurers, and specialist lenders like Florius and Nationale-Nederlanden.

In the Netherlands, every lender sets their own interest rate and conditions independently. That means the rate your bank offers you is just one option out of dozens — and rarely the most competitive one. The difference between the highest and lowest rate in the market can easily amount to tens of thousands of euros over the life of your mortgage.

As an independent advisory firm, OHAO has no commercial tie to any lender. We compare the full market and recommend what is genuinely best for your situation — whether you are buying your first home, moving, or refinancing. Do you want to know how much you can borrow first?

Do I need a mortgage advisor?

Yes, you do — and here is why. Buying a home can feel overwhelming, especially if you are an expat, self-employed, or dealing with a more complex situation. A mortgage advisor can make the entire process easier, faster, and much less stressful. Here is how we can help:

  • Access to 40+ lenders: your bank offers one rate. We compare the full market — including lenders you cannot approach directly — and find the most competitive deal for your situation.

  • We handle the paperwork: from gathering your documents to communicating with lenders and the notary. You focus on finding your home, we handle the mortgage.

  • Expat specialists: we understand foreign income, the 30% ruling, freelancing contracts, BV companies and the specific challenges expats face when applying for a Dutch mortgage.

  • Fixed fee starting from €2,495: no hidden costs, no commission from lenders.

  • Competitive rates from €2,495
  • Expat mortgage brokers
  • Clear, fast, and personal guidance

How the process works?

  • Step 1 — Free intro call (60 min)
    We take the time to understand your situation — your income, savings, timeline, and goals. For the first meeting, having your most recent payslip is enough. We can already give you a clear overview of your mortgage options.

  • Step 2 — Personalised rate report
    You get access to our online portal, where you can view your personalised mortgage report. We compare your profile with 40+ lenders and provide a clear overview of the best rates and conditions available — including our recommendation and explanation.

  • Step 3 — Mortgage application
    Once you have found your home and are ready to move forward, we prepare your mortgage case and submit your full application. We handle all communication with the lender, so you don’t have to.

  • Step 4 — Signing and completion
    We guide you through the final steps — notary appointment, and key handover. Most clients complete their mortgage within 4–6 weeks.

How much does it cost to use OHAO?

Our mortgage advisory fee starts from €2,495 ( tax-deductible). For expats and international clients, our pricing is among the most competitive in the market, and we never charge extra for providing our services in English. You can find a full breakdown on our pricing page.

Can expats get a mortgage through OHAO?

Yes — expats are our core speciality. We have over 10 years of experience helping internationals buy homes in the Netherlands, including clients with foreign income, 30% ruling, temporary contracts, and non-EU backgrounds.

How long does a mortgage application take in the Netherlands?

Most mortgage applications through OHAO are completed within 4–6 weeks from the moment your offer on a home is accepted. However, if your income structure is more complex, the process may take slightly longer. The timeline ultimately depends on your situation, how quickly documents are provided, and the lender’s processing time. We ensure the process keeps moving at every step.

Bart was the first financial advisor we contacted on a friend’s recommendation, and right after our initial orientation, we knew we didn't need to look any further. ​Now that we have successfully purchased our first home, we can’t thank Bart enough for the huge role he played in making it happen. As first-time buyers, the process can feel overwhelming, but Bart was a true professional from start to finish. He explained every single step with great clarity, evaluated our documents promptly, and patiently answered our endless stream of questions. His proactive support during the bidding phase also made a massive difference. Bottom line, he possess excellent knowledge about his work. ​A sincere thank you to Bart, we couldn't have asked for a better advisor and wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking to buy a home!

Excellent service from start to finish. Friendly, responsive, and always willing to help. All required paperwork was handled on time, and any questions were answered quickly by email. I particularly appreciated the extra effort in checking and assisting with documents beyond the agreed scope. His support made the whole mortgage process clear and stress-free. Highly recommended!

A fantastic service from Toni and the whole team at OHAO. I would strongly recommend them. As first-time buyers, we had a lot of questions and a slightly complex mortgage application, but Toni guided us through the process brilliantly. Everything was communicated clearly and in a timely manner, and he was always quick to respond and happy to explain things. We were recommended OHAO by a colleague who had a great experience with them, and we’re very happy we followed their recommendation. Excellent service from start to finish!

Very satisfied with my experience with OHAO. From the very first conversation with Toni van der Flier, everything was explained clearly, and I felt well guided throughout the entire mortgage process. Communication was pleasant and straightforward, questions were answered quickly, and I always knew where things stood. During Toni’s absence, Bart Kooijman took over my case, and that transition also went very smoothly. I’m very happy with the support I received from both Toni and Bart, and I would definitely recommend OHAO to colleagues, friends, and family.

I would like to express my appreciation for the excellent service I received from OHAO during my renovation mortgage application. This was the second time I used OHAO’s advisory services for a mortgage application. The process was quite challenging, and it is difficult to fully describe the complexity of the application in a review. However, thanks to the expertise, dedication, and professionalism of my advisor, Bart, I was able to successfully obtain the mortgage. In fact, the outcome exceeded my expectations. I am extremely grateful for the guidance and support provided throughout the entire process. Millions of thanks to Bart and the OHAO team for the outstanding service and commitment to their customers.
