If you intend to buy a house you will probably have to take out a mortgage for which you will have to make payments over twenty to thirty years, so it is important to make the right choice.
This part of the menu explains what you need to pay attention to when you choose a mortgage. The risks of an investment mortgage are also considered. Always ensure that you receive proper information in advance from the institution with which you are going to take out the mortgage.
You can obtain information about mortgages from various sources, including the Association of (Prospective) Home Owners (Vereniging Eigen Huis) and the Consumer's Association (Consumentenbond).
If you buy your own house, that will also have tax consequences. Click on the link to the website of the Netherlands Tax and Customs Administration (Belastingdienst) for more information about the tax consequences.
