When we arrived in the Netherlands we expected that we would need to live here for at least a year before we could consider buying a property. We contacted Maikel Ros at Expat Mortgages in order to understand the process better. We were pleasantly surprised when he explained the options open to us and ended up moving into our own home only five months after arriving in NL. Maikel and his team made the process extremely simple and enabled us to buy our dream home with very little hassle, minimal paperwork and no hidden surprises. They even structured the mortgage to include a building loan in order to finance renovations to the kitchen and bathroom that we wanted to do. It was a straightforward, easy, exciting and enjoyable process and we found Expat Mortgages an absolute pleasure to work with!
