What we do

From quick scan to signed mortgage.

30+ lenders compared for you, including specialists who work with internationals. You see your situation translated into terms a Dutch lender understands: your gross-and-net income with the 30% ruling, your contract type and any foreign assets. Your residence or work permit and how long it is valid count too. No Dutch credit history yet? That does not block a Dutch mortgage.

You meet your advisor by video or in Amstelveen, in your language. Is the home on leasehold? Our erfpacht guide explains what that means for your mortgage. The application gets prepared and every lender request followed up. Leaving the Netherlands before you sign? Tell your advisor early so they can check your options with the lender. A shorter residence permit does not always limit your mortgage term, ask early.

You choose the home. You get the mortgage arranged and stay posted throughout.

We give the mortgage advice. The application and closing run through our associated company. Do you have a complaint about the advice? Raise it with us first. If we do not reach a solution together, you can take it to Kifid, the Dutch complaints institute for financial services. A Kifid ruling is binding.

Frequently asked

First-time buyer mortgage questions, answered.

The questions we hear most in a first call. Yours not here? Ask your advisor

Can I get a mortgage as an international?
Yes. Some lenders read international income better than others. You see which ones fit your profile. You do not need Dutch credit history. Lenders look at your income and contract instead. Your permit counts too, so tell your advisor when it expires.
How does the 30% ruling affect my mortgage?
Often, in your favour. Some lenders assess your gross, pre-ruling income. Others look only at your taxable income. That gap can be large, so you get matched with a lender that counts it well.
Do I get the first-time-buyer transfer-tax exemption?
Likely yes. You qualify if you are under 35 and buy a home worth €555,000 or less to live in yourself. In 2026 that means 0% transfer tax, a saving of up to €11,100. You can use the exemption once. You can read exactly how the exemption works in our guide to Dutch transfer tax.
Can I get a mortgage on a temporary contract?
Yes, often. A permanent contract is not required. With an employer's intention statement, or a track record of income, many lenders will still lend. You find out which ones. Working for yourself? Then read how a self-employed mortgage works.
Do you compare more than one lender?
Yes, always. You get in writing which lenders your advisor compared and why. No commission steering, no hidden incentives.
What does mortgage advice through TaxSavers cost?
From €2,750 for the full first-time buyer mortgage. From €3,100 as a mortgage and tax bundle. You don't pay for the quick scan or the mortgage call. Lenders pay us no commission. Dutch law does not allow it (the provisieverbod, the Dutch ban on mortgage commission).
Are you authorised to give mortgage and insurance advice?
Yes. TaxSavers B.V. is listed in the AFM register as an affiliated institution under licence 12017511 of our associated company. That lets us advise on mortgages, insurance and pensions. The application and closing run through our associated company. We take on the tax that follows.
