What refinancing means

Swap your current mortgage for one that fits you better.

Refinancing, or oversluiten, means replacing your current mortgage with a new one, either at your current lender or a different one. Whether it saves you money depends on the gap between your current rate and today's best rate. From that gap you subtract the oversluitkosten (the refinancing costs). Those are the boeterente (the early-repayment penalty) your current lender charges, plus notary and advice fees. As an indication, a boeterente often comes to between €3,000 and €15,000.

What our associated company does for you They advise on the refinance and compare the lenders that fit. They run the break-even calculation and arrange the new mortgage.

You keep the home. They arrange the switch. They know which lenders accept foreign income and an ending 30% ruling. The lender you pick matters, because each one counts foreign income differently. On the tax side, we handle your boeterente deduction.

Our fixed rate was ending and rates had dropped. Our advisor ran the break-even, showed us the boeterente was worth paying, and handled the switch.

How this advice is paid for

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. TaxSavers charges nothing for the mortgage and receives no fee or commission for it. 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. They are registered there and have accepted binding advice, so a Kifid ruling binds them. Kifid is the Dutch complaints board for financial services.

Frequently asked

Refinancing questions, answered.

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

Is refinancing worth it for me?
It depends on the maths. The rule of thumb: it is worth it when the monthly saving recovers the oversluitkosten within roughly 5 years. The exact break-even depends on your boeterente, the rate gap and how long you keep the new mortgage. You run through those numbers together in that review. Your advisor also checks whether your mortgage interest deduction carries over. You also get your NHG checked. NHG is the government-backed mortgage guarantee scheme.
What is boeterente and how much will I pay?
Boeterente is the penalty your current lender charges for breaking your fixed-rate period early. Your lender bases it on the gap between your current rate and today's rate. It also weighs your outstanding balance and how long your fixed period still runs. As an indication, a penalty often falls between €3,000 and €15,000. Your lender confirms your exact amount in writing on request. Boeterente is tax-deductible in Box 1 in the year you pay it, which softens the blow (source: belastingdienst.nl, checked 25 September 2026). You can read exactly how that deduction works in our penalty-interest guide.
Can I refinance before my fixed-rate period ends?
Yes, at any time. You pay boeterente if you break the fixed-rate period early. Whether it is still smart comes down to the same break-even maths: does the saving recover the boeterente in time? Your advisor checks that for you in the review. Switch at the end of your fixed-rate period and you pay no boeterente.
How long does refinancing take in the Netherlands?
A full refinance usually takes 6 to 8 weeks, from review to completion at the new lender. The notary sets the signing date. Your current lender also needs time for the aflosnota, the final settlement statement. The notary and completion take up 3 to 4 of those weeks. Renewing with the same lender is faster, usually 2 to 4 weeks.
Does my own lender's renewal offer go into the comparison?
Yes, that offer goes straight into the comparison. Your current lender is one of the 30+ lenders in the overview. You get the outcome on paper, with the reasoning behind it. It works on a fixed fee, with no commission steering.
What does refinancing advice cost?
The fee is set and stated in your quote. The fit check, the quick scan and the first review cost nothing. Boeterente and notary fees are separate and fall outside that fee.
Can I refinance if I am self-employed?
Yes. Lenders assess your business income track record, and not every lender reads self-employed income the same way. You get matched with the ones that fit your figures. Read more on our self-employed mortgage page.
Are you authorised to give mortgage and insurance advice?
TaxSavers advises on tax, not on mortgages, insurance or pensions. For those we work with A&H Finance, a trade name of New Business Group B.V. They hold the AFM licence (12017511) and they advise and arrange. We introduce you and take on the tax that follows.
How do lenders assess foreign income and a 30% ruling that is ending?
Lenders weigh foreign income case by case. Some accept it in full, others discount it or ask for a longer track record. An ending 30% ruling matters too, because your taxable income changes. The application gets built around whichever lenders read your situation best. Planning to leave the Netherlands later? Say so before you refinance.
