If you’re living in the Netherlands for a longer period, buying your own home might make more sense, financially and personally.

Mortgages in the Netherlands usually run for a 20-to-30-year term, but it's also possible to opt for a shorter period. Another thing that’s good to know: the interest you pay on your mortgage is partially tax-deductible. Get in touch with your bank or a mortgage advisor to find out more about taking out a mortgage in the Netherlands, as well as eligibility requirements and the types of mortgages on offer.
