Question 1

По-добре ли е да имам BV или едноличен търговец (eenmanszaak) за ипотека?

Accepted Answer

Едноличният търговец е достатъчен за повечето ипотечни кандидатури. Притежаването на BV понякога може да усложни оценката на доходите. Ние преглеждаме структурата на бизнеса ви и ви съветваме дали промени биха подобрили позицията ви за ипотека — преди да кандидатствате.

Question 2

Брои ли се доходът на партньора ми за ипотеката?

Accepted Answer

Yes, if you apply together your partner's income is added to yours, which usually increases your maximum mortgage. Both partners then become jointly liable (hoofdelijk aansprakelijk) for the loan, so any debts or obligations on either side also affect what you can borrow. A second income, including a partner with the 30% ruling, can significantly raise your capacity.

Question 3

Да избера ли кратък или дълъг период с фиксирана лихва?

Accepted Answer

A long fixed-interest period (lange rentevaste periode) protects you against rising rates and gives budgeting certainty, while a short period is usually cheaper but carries more risk. The right choice depends on how long you plan to stay, your risk appetite, and the gap between short and long rates at the time. Buyers who want predictable monthly costs often choose a longer fixed period.

Question 4

Защо да ползвам ипотечен консултант вместо да отида направо в банката си?

Accepted Answer

A bank only offers its own products, while an independent mortgage adviser compares many lenders to find the best rate and conditions for your situation. This is especially valuable for migrants with international income, temporary contracts or the 30% ruling, where standard bank rules often do not fit. Independent advice widens your options instead of limiting you to one provider.

Question 5

Как да оценя ипотеката си с калкулатор за Нидерландия?

Accepted Answer

A mortgage calculator for the Netherlands estimates your maximum loan and monthly payments from your income, the interest rate and the fixed-interest period. It is a useful starting point to see what you can afford before viewing homes. A personal calculation goes further by accounting for your contract type, debts, a second income and the 30% ruling.

Question 6

Как се изчислява максималната ми ипотека?

Accepted Answer

Your maximum mortgage is calculated from your gross annual income, your partner's income if you apply together, debts registered at BKR, and the value of the home. Lenders apply yearly national lending standards, so two people on the same salary can borrow different amounts depending on their loans and contract. The fixed-interest period and energy label can also affect the limit.

Question 7

Каква е разликата между банкова гаранция и депозит (bankgarantie of waarborgsom)?

Accepted Answer

After signing the purchase agreement you usually give the seller security, either a deposit (waarborgsom) paid to the notary or a bank guarantee (bankgarantie), where a bank promises to pay if you default. Both protect the seller for the same amount. Which suits you depends on whether you have the cash free or prefer the bank to stand surety.

Question 8

Каква е разликата между ипотечен консултант и пълен партньор за жилището?

Accepted Answer

A mortgage adviser only arranges your loan, while a full-service home partner like Domek is independent of any single bank and, alongside the mortgage, also helps you find the home and set up utilities, insurance and tax. For non-native buyers that means independent advice and one point of contact in your own language, instead of juggling many separate providers.

Question 9

Каква максимална ипотека мога да получа в Нидерландия?

Accepted Answer

Your maximum mortgage (maximale hypotheek) mainly depends on your gross income, your contract type and any existing debts, within national lending limits that are updated each year. A second income, the 30% ruling and the home's value also play a role. A personal mortgage calculation gives a far more accurate figure than a rule of thumb before you start viewing homes.

Question 10

Какви видове ипотека има в Нидерландия?

Accepted Answer

The two main mortgage types (hypotheekvormen) in the Netherlands are the annuity mortgage (annuïteitenhypotheek) and the linear mortgage (lineaire hypotheek), both of which qualify for mortgage interest deduction. Older forms such as the interest-only (aflossingsvrije) and savings (spaar) mortgage still exist but have stricter rules for new buyers. Your choice affects your monthly payment, your repayment speed and your tax deduction.

Question 11

Какви документи са ми нужни за заявление за ипотека?

Accepted Answer

For a mortgage application you typically need proof of identity, your BSN, an employer's statement (werkgeversverklaring) and recent payslips, or annual figures if you are self-employed, plus bank statements, the purchase agreement and a valuation report (taxatierapport). As a migrant you may also need your residence permit and 30%-ruling decision. Having these ready speeds up the assessment.

Question 12

Какви са ипотечните лихви в Нидерландия и как се определят?

Accepted Answer

Dutch mortgage interest rates depend on the market, your chosen fixed-interest period and your loan-to-value (LTV), with NHG and a lower LTV usually giving better rates. Rates differ per lender and change continuously, so the rate you are offered reflects your risk profile and the term you fix. Comparing current offers across lenders is the best way to find a competitive rate.

Question 13

Какви са месечните разходи по ипотека?

Accepted Answer

Месечните разходи по ипотеката се състоят от лихва плюс погасяване на главницата при анюитетна или линейна ипотека, а нетният ти разход е по-нисък благодарение на данъчното облекчение за лихвите (hypotheekrenteaftrek). Освен ипотеката залагаш в бюджета и застраховка на жилището, поддръжка и евентуален наем на земя (erfpacht) или такса към VvE. Периодът с фиксирана лихва и съотношението кредит/стойност определят лихвата, която плащаш.

Question 14

Какви са таксите за ипотечна консултация и посредничество?

Accepted Answer

Mortgage advice and arrangement fees (advies- en bemiddelingskosten) are what you pay to have your situation assessed, lenders compared and your mortgage arranged. These are one-off costs that are usually tax-deductible in the year you buy. The valuation report and any NHG premium are separate items in your total financing costs.

Question 15

Какво е NHG (Nationale Hypotheek Garantie)?

Accepted Answer

NHG (Nationale Hypotheek Garantie) е националната ипотечна гаранция, която действа като предпазна мрежа, ако не можеш да погасяваш кредита поради събития като загуба на работа, нетрудоспособност, развод или смърт на партньора. Обикновено дава по-ниска лихва (rentekorting) и може да покрие остатъчен дълг (restschuld), ако жилището трябва да се продаде на загуба. NHG е достъпно до максимална цена на жилището (NHG-grens), определяна всяка година, и се гарантира от фонда WEW.

Question 16

Какво е анюитетна ипотека (annuïteitenhypotheek)?

Accepted Answer

An annuity mortgage (annuïteitenhypotheek) keeps your gross monthly payment roughly the same over the term, starting with more interest and less repayment, gradually reversing. Because the deductible interest falls over time, your net cost slowly rises, so it suits buyers who want low payments at the start. It is the most common choice for first-time buyers and qualifies for mortgage interest deduction.

Question 17

Какво е доклад за оценка (taxatierapport) и защо ми е нужен?

Accepted Answer

A valuation report (taxatierapport) is an independent appraisal of a home's market value by a certified valuer, which lenders require to approve a mortgage. It confirms the property is worth enough to secure the loan and feeds into your loan-to-value (LTV), which influences your interest rate. A validated report (gevalideerd taxatierapport) is usually needed for the mortgage.

Question 18

Какво е ипотека само с лихва (aflossingsvrije hypotheek)?

Accepted Answer

An interest-only mortgage (aflossingsvrije hypotheek) means you pay only interest and do not repay the principal during the term, which keeps monthly costs low. For new mortgages it is limited to part of the loan and usually does not qualify for mortgage interest deduction, so it is often combined with an annuity or linear part. The principal is repaid or refinanced at the end of the term.

Question 19

Какво е ипотечна оферта (hypotheekofferte) и обвързваща ли е?

Accepted Answer

A mortgage offer (hypotheekofferte), now usually a binding proposal (bindend aanbod), sets out the interest rate, term and conditions of your loan. You receive it after the lender assesses your application, income and documents, and it is valid for a set period in which you can accept. Once accepted, it forms the basis for the mortgage deed at the notary.

Question 20

Какво е линейна ипотека (lineaire hypotheek)?

Accepted Answer

With a linear mortgage (lineaire hypotheek) you repay a fixed amount of principal every month, so your payments are highest at the start and decrease over time. You build equity (overwaarde) faster and pay less total interest than with an annuity mortgage. It suits buyers who can afford higher initial payments and want to reduce their debt quickly.

Question 21

Какво е период с фиксирана лихва (rentevaste periode)?

Accepted Answer

Периодът с фиксирана лихва (rentevaste periode) е времето, през което лихвата по ипотеката остава една и съща, например 5, 10, 20 или 30 години. По-дълъг период дава сигурност за месечните вноски, а по-кратък обикновено е по-евтин, но по-рисков при промяна на лихвата. В края на периода получаваш нова лихва според пазара и оставащото съотношение кредит/стойност.

Question 22

Какво е спестовна ипотека (spaarhypotheek)?

Accepted Answer

A savings mortgage (spaarhypotheek) combines an interest-only loan with a linked savings or insurance product that grows to repay the debt at the end of the term. New ones are rarely issued under current rules, but many existing homeowners still have one. When switching mortgage or moving home, it is worth checking how the savings part is affected.

Question 23

Какво е съотношение кредит/стойност (LTV) и защо има значение?

Accepted Answer

Loan-to-value (LTV) is the size of your mortgage compared with your home's value. A lower LTV, meaning you borrow less relative to the value, usually gives a better interest rate because the lender takes less risk. Building equity (overwaarde) or making extra repayments lowers your LTV over time, which can qualify you for a lower rate.

Question 24

Какво се случва с ипотеката ми, когато облекчението от 30% приключи?

Accepted Answer

When the 30% ruling ends your net income falls while your mortgage payments stay the same, so it pays to plan ahead. A good adviser takes the ruling's end date into account when setting up your mortgage, choosing a payment and fixed-interest period that stay comfortable afterwards. Building savings or making extra repayments before it ends also softens the transition.

Question 25

Кое е по-добро за мен: анюитетна или линейна ипотека?

Accepted Answer

Линейната ипотека струва по-малко обща лихва и изгражда собствен капитал по-бързо, но има по-високи вноски в началото, докато анюитетната разпределя разходите по-равномерно и се одобрява по-лесно. Най-добрият избор зависи от сегашния ти бюджет, колко бързо искаш да погасяваш и от намаляващото с времето данъчно облекчение. И двете дават право на данъчно облекчение за ипотечните лихви.

Question 26

Коя ипотека е най-добра за моята ситуация?

Accepted Answer

The best mortgage depends entirely on your profile: your income, contract type, residence status, future plans and how much certainty you want. Because Domek is independent and not tied to any single bank, we compare the whole market and recommend the option that genuinely fits your situation, not one lender's product. For non-natives with international income, a temporary contract or the 30% ruling, this tailored, independent advice often makes a real difference.

Question 27

Мога ли да отдавам жилището под наем или да получа ипотека за отдаване (buy-to-let) в Нидерландия?

Accepted Answer

Отдаването под наем на жилище, купено с обикновена ипотека за собственик-обитател, обикновено изисква разрешение от банката, докато специална ипотека за отдаване (verhuurhypotheek) важи, ако купуваш специално за отдаване. Финансирането за отдаване има свои условия, изисквания за самоучастие и лихви, а отдаваният имот влиза в box 3 за данъци. Оценява се различно от ипотека за основно жилище.

Question 28

Мога ли да погася ипотеката предсрочно или да правя допълнителни вноски?

Accepted Answer

Да, повечето ипотеки позволяват допълнителни вноски (extra aflossen), често до определен процент от заема всяка година без неустойка. Допълнителното погасяване намалява дълга, лихвата и съотношението кредит/стойност (LTV), което по-късно може да те квалифицира за по-ниска лихва. Ако надхвърлиш безнаказания лимит при фиксирана лихва, може да се приложи такса за предсрочно погасяване (boeterente).

Question 29

Мога ли да получа ипотека като квалифициран мигрант с данъчното облекчение от 30%?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Knowledge migrants (kennismigranten) and highly skilled migrants can get a Dutch mortgage based on their employment contract, and some lenders take the 30% ruling into account when assessing income. Because the ruling is temporary, lenders also look at how long it still runs and your residence permit (verblijfsvergunning). This often lets skilled migrants buy soon after arriving.

Question 30

Мога ли да получа ипотека като самонает (ZZP) или дребен предприемач?

Accepted Answer

Yes, as a ZZP'er or small business owner you can get a mortgage, usually based on your average income over the last one to three years, and some lenders accept a shorter history. Good bookkeeping, annual figures and the right lender are key, since acceptance rules for the self-employed and freelancers differ widely. Your business continuity and net income matter more than a fixed salary.

Question 31

Мога ли да получа ипотека с декларация от работодателя (intentieverklaring или perspectiefverklaring)?

Accepted Answer

Yes. An intentieverklaring is your employer's written intention to offer a permanent contract, and a perspectiefverklaring assesses the income prospects of flex and agency workers. Both let many people on temporary or agency contracts qualify for a mortgage they otherwise could not. Lenders combine the statement with your payslips and work history to set your borrowing capacity.

Question 32

Мога ли да получа ипотека със срочен договор или през агенция?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can often get a mortgage on a temporary contract (tijdelijk contract) or agency work. Many lenders accept an employer's statement of intent (intentieverklaring) or, for flex and agency workers, a perspectiefverklaring confirming your income prospects. Your work history, income and contract type determine the amount, so a lender used to flexible work is key.

Question 33

Мога ли да прехвърля или рефинансирам ипотеката си за по-добра лихва (oversluiten)?

Accepted Answer

Да, можеш да прехвърлиш ипотеката (oversluiten) към друга банка или да предоговориш с настоящата, за да получиш по-добра лихва или условия. Дали си струва зависи от разликата в лихвите и евентуална такса за предсрочно погасяване (boeterente). Струва си да прегледаш ипотеката си, когато лихвите паднат или когато периодът ти с фиксирана лихва изтича.

Question 34

Мога ли да прехвърля лихвата по ипотеката към ново жилище (meeneemregeling)?

Accepted Answer

Many mortgages include a portability option (meeneemregeling) that lets you take your current interest rate to a new home when you move. This is valuable if your existing rate is lower than the market, though time limits and conditions apply per lender. Combined with a bridging loan (overbruggingskrediet), it can make moving to a next home smoother.

Question 35

Мога ли да увелича ипотеката си или да взема втора ипотека (hypotheek verhogen)?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can often increase your existing mortgage (hypotheek verhogen) or add a second loan part, for example to renovate or release equity (overwaarde opnemen). The extra amount depends on your home's current value, your income and your existing loan-to-value, and is assessed much like a new mortgage application. A valuation is usually needed to confirm the current value.

Question 36

Независима ли е ипотечната консултация на Domek?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Domek is an independent adviser and is not tied to a single bank or lender. We compare the whole market and base our recommendation on your personal profile, so the advice serves your interests and your situation rather than a particular product. This independence is especially valuable for expats whose income or contract does not fit standard bank criteria.

Question 37

Струва ли си NHG?

Accepted Answer

NHG често си струва, защото по-ниската лихва (rentekorting) може да надхвърли еднократната премия, а освен това те защитава срещу остатъчен дълг (restschuld), ако трябва да продадеш на загуба. Достъпно е само до годишен ценови лимит (NHG-grens), затова подхожда основно на купувачи на първо жилище и среден сегмент. Дали си струва зависи от размера на кредита и колко дълго оставаш.
