This is the best part of the process. You’re searching for your dream home and suddenly you’ve found it! Exciting! Now the journey really begins…

Has your bid been accepted? If so, it’s time to make a purchase agreement, otherwise known as a ‘preliminary contract of sale’. This document contains all the agreements made regarding the sale and purchase of the property, so be sure to read it carefully, before signing.

The purchase agreement is complete and the price of the property is fixed. Now it’s time to make some decisions. What type of mortgage would you prefer? How long will the fixed-rate period be? Which mortgage provider best suits your needs? Your mortgage advisor will help you arrange your financing.
-
Are you happy with the mortgage offer that your advisor has found for you? Have you reviewed it carefully? In that case it’s simply a matter of signing, then paying a visit to the notary.

You’ve reached the exciting final step! Once NIBC has approved your mortgage, all the documents will be sent to the notary, where you and the seller will sign the transfer of ownership. Congratulations, now you own your dream home!

Important things to remember when choosing a mortgage
There are 3 different types mortgage you can take out with us: annuity, linear, or interest only. Compare these different types in advance, and consider which form of repayment suits you best.
When you take out a mortgage you can fix the interest on it for an agreed amount of time. During this period your interest remains the same, so that you know exactly what you will pay for your mortgage each month.
When you buy a new place, you are busy thinking about just one thing: can I get this property, or not? However, it’s also a good idea to use this time to consider the energy consumption rating of your potential new home. Taking energy-saving measures can translate into savings in monthly energy costs, as well as increasing the comfort of your home. With NIBC Direct, you can co-finance energy-saving measures for your new home, up to 106% of its market value. This does depend on your personal situation, so be prepared to discuss it in detail with your advisor.
