This was so detailed and informative 👌. Congrats on your new home . Hoping you will have a home tour coming up in the next months. We also are thinking of buying a home here. Waiting for the 3rd part in this series.
Thanks so much, and I'm glad you found my videos helpful! Working on the final part of the series, and hope it helps with your decision on whether or not to buy a home in the Netherlands :) (will probably be out next weekend!)
i think the „diplomatic-ness“ you mention about the makelaar is sort of a Dutch cultural thing (which i’ve noticed in other settings) but I think it’s interesting that it extends to the real estate sector
Hi Leesa, thanks for the informative video. Will you film a house tour video? That would be very helpful to get an idea of how much you paid for your house and in which city/neighborhood you purchased your home.
Glad you found it informative! I don’t want to share the location of my home for privacy reasons, only that it is 15-20 mins by bike/bus from the centre. In the next video, I will share some clips of our place when we first got the keys!
Yes, we felt we would get more options and more chances of a favourable mortgage when dealing with a broker (whereas with a bank, you would only get options provided by the bank itself)
No that’s not quite true! You can borrow up to 100% of the property value. The issue is that some people may overbid an amount that is above the property value. That means you have to pay the difference out of pocket yourself. Hope that clarifies!
It depends on your income as well. In my case, a large portion of my income is in stock, which required me to get a private bank loan and they would only cover 70% of the home value.
PART 2 of the video series is here☺ua-cam.com/video/Pu0KXdtdJFA/v-deo.htmlsi=j_I7mr2Ico3OQ30F&t=1

Thank you so much for this series!! Where can I find the link for more info about ground leases?
Oops sorry! Just added it in the description box now, but also here it is: www.amsterdam.nl/en/housing/ground-lease/
any reason where you decided to get a mortgage advisor from an agency like OHAO instead of a bank?
Yes, we felt we would get more options and more chances of a favourable mortgage when dealing with a broker (whereas with a bank, you would only get options provided by the bank itself)
@@LeesaYu congratulations on the house btw!!
@DirectionerForeverx thank you so much!!
Thank you ❤but i was told they only give upto 70% mortgage of the house price nowdays ?
