Locally at home in Amsterdam, Almere, het Gooi and the wider region
We know the housing market in Amsterdam, Almere, het Gooi and the surrounding region from the inside out. Personal, close by, and with real knowledge of the neighbourhoods where you want to live.

Clear from the start.
Question not listed? A short intro call gives you clarity quickly.
You pay a fixed amount for advice and arrangement, which you hear before you decide anything. On top of that come costs that are not ours: valuation, notary, and for a home under the national guarantee limit the guarantee fee. In the first conversation we put everything you will pay on a single overview, so nothing turns up later.
Often you can. The key is an employer's statement with an intention to extend: your employer states that, if you keep performing, they intend to offer you a permanent contract. Request it before you start viewing homes, because at a large employer it can take weeks. Without one, lenders look at your employment history over recent years.
We will be independent and compare the offers of more than forty lenders, so you will not be tied to one bank. We are joining a collective AFM licence as an affiliated company; until that is in place, we are not allowed to arrange mortgages.
Yes. Conversations, calculations and the documents you need to understand are all available in English. The notarial deed itself is in Dutch, as the law requires; the notary explains it to you in English and a translator can be arranged.
Certainly. Lenders look at the figures of your business and at what you pay yourself. Keep your annual accounts, your income tax returns and a recent overview from your bookkeeping to hand. If your business is only a year or two old, an income statement from a recognised calculation expert can offer a way forward.
The mortgage check on this site gives you a rough indication in two minutes. A real calculation, with your contract, your student debt and the energy label included, we do in the first conversation. That takes about an hour.
