Buying a new-build home

Buying a new-build home works just a little differently than an existing home. You often buy from drawings, have to deal with construction deadlines, and sometimes double housing costs. We help you step by step with mortgage advice for a new-build home.

The first step towards buying a new-build home

With new-build homes, things work slightly differently than with existing houses, but it usually starts with one important question: what is the maximum I can borrow?

You often buy before the home is built and will have to deal with matters such as construction installments, a construction deposit, interest during construction, and potential additional work. That is why it is wise to first gain insight into your financial possibilities. During a no-obligation introductory meeting, we will look together at your income, savings, monthly expenses, future plans, and the extra costs associated with a new-build home. This allows us to form a realistic picture of your maximum mortgage and ensures you know what to look for.

Good
to know

When buying a new-build home, you often encounter different terms and costs compared to existing properties. Here are a few things that are useful to know in advance.

Additional work refers to extra options you choose in addition to the standard delivery of the home; think, for example, of underfloor heating, an extension, or a luxury kitchen. You can sometimes finance these costs through your mortgage. Include this in your financial plan and the calculation of your maximum mortgage.

Usually, you already pay interest on the portion of the mortgage that has been taken out during construction. Sometimes you also face temporary double costs if your current home has not yet been sold.

Yes, certainly. Even as a first-time buyer, you can take out a mortgage for a new-build property. Lenders look at your income, savings, and the additional costs associated with the purchase.

It was a true pleasure working with Samuel while arranging my mortgage.

He was always available whenever I needed support or advice, and responded lightning fast! He was friendly, kind, patient, and incredibly professional throughout the entire process. It gave me great confidence to know that he was guiding me through this important event in my life: the purchase of my first home.

Highly recommended!

From the very beginning, we received excellent help from Matthijs. Applying for a mortgage is a huge undertaking for first-time buyers, but Matthijs patiently guided us through the process. Communication is direct, his knowledge is extensive, and we even had a laugh. Thanks Matthijs, we will definitely be back!

My girlfriend and I are both entrepreneurs, which meant that many documents had to be submitted during the process. We were guided excellently throughout, and everything was clearly explained. Communication was pleasant and prompt, making the entire process surprisingly smooth. Highly recommended!
