Mortgage advice is provided by our associated company A&H Finance. They advise you, arrange the mortgage and invoice you. Your agreement for this advice is with them and they are responsible for the service. TaxSavers introduces you and is not a party to that agreement. Do you have a complaint about the advice? Raise it with them first. If you do not reach a solution together, you can take it to Kifid. Kifid is the Dutch complaints institute for financial services. They are registered there and have accepted binding advice, so a Kifid ruling binds them.
They disclose the fixed fee in writing before their advice starts. They do not accept lender commissions. Dutch law forbids them for mortgage intermediaries, a rule called the provisieverbod. Extra complexity is quoted separately before any work starts, never billed by surprise.
“The bank will tell you what you qualify for. My job is to map your full situation first. Your income, your ruling, your plans five years from now. I explain what that means in plain English, before you sign anything.”

At your bank, you get mortgage advice based on that bank's own products. Through our associated company, you get a comparison across multiple Dutch lenders and a full look at your situation. We explain what each option means for your tax. That way your mortgage fits not only today, but also what may change later.
Situations we often see
A couple in Amsterdam, one on a 2-year tech contract with the ruling, one freelancer. Lenders treat these profiles very differently. A comparison of seven lenders turned up two that accepted both incomes at full value. The mortgage then took shape around the ruling expiry. Their borrowing capacity turned out significantly higher than what their own bank had quoted.
A non-EU buyer with a pending IND decision. Most lenders require permanent residency, but three accept alternatives: a higher down payment, shorter fixed terms, or additional documentation. Mapping the options secured approval faster than the buyer expected. IND is the Dutch service that decides on residency permits.
A homeowner with a fixed rate from 2023, looking at lower current rates. Modelling weighed the break fee against the long-term savings across multiple lenders. The net benefit turned out to clearly outweigh the costs, something that wasn't obvious before running the numbers.
A tech worker planning to stay in NL past the ruling. Modelling covered the income drop post-ruling and shaped the mortgage so the monthly payment stays manageable after. A longer fixed period locked in a known cost across the transition and removed the uncertainty.

Not usually without a BSN. With pending or temporary residency status, there may still be options, depending on your situation. Some lenders require a residence permit that covers the fixed-interest period. Others may accept alternative structures. We map the options before you commit to a full advice process.
A BSN is your Dutch citizen service number.
