What is involved in buying your first house?

Searching for your dream home is of course very exciting, but it can also be nerve-wracking. You will undoubtedly have a number of questions, such as ‘How much can I borrow?’, ‘Which mortgage should I take out?’ or ‘How does buying a house actually work?’ Don’t worry, we are happy to explain it to you. And if you have any further questions, please feel free to contact us!

How much can I borrow as a first-time buyer?

How much you (together with your partner) can borrow as a first-time buyer depends on several factors. You can make an online calculation to get an idea of the price range in which you can start looking for a house. If you want to know exactly what your maximum mortgage is, please contact us for a free and non-binding orientation conversation. We will then review your personal and financial situation to determine how much you can borrow.

Which mortgage should I choose as a first-time buyer?

As a first-time buyer, you usually choose an annuity mortgage or a linear mortgage. With these mortgage types, you pay off a part of your mortgage every month. This allows you to deduct the mortgage interest you pay as a tax deduction on your tax return. If you want to, you can combine an annuity mortgage or a linear mortgage with an interest-only mortgage. The interest on the interest-only part is not tax-deductible.
