Having been used to renting before, the Dutch housing market posed major challenges to us. However, what felt like a lot of pain at the beginning felt like a truly pleasant procedure after we had got to know Expat Morgages through word-by-mouth recommendation. We were advised by Chris van Maasdijk who has been an extremely competent and gentle advisor – there was not much left to do for us. So, eventually, buying a house was quite simply a lot of fun, which, last but not least, came at no extra expenses whatsoever.
