As a Dutch resident working abroad in Russia, everybody told me that it would be highly unlikely that banks would provide us with a mortgage, nevertheless, after a discussion with Roy Bijkerk of Expat Mortgages we decided to give it a try. And he pulled it off successfully! All went very smoothly, professionally and with prompt responses, so I highly recommend Roy and Expat Mortgages to any foreigners settling into the Netherlands or Dutch residents with foreign income.
