How do I get my mortgage done before I start looking?

Bidding on a home for sale with financial security

The housing market is more competitive than ever. After all, how do you beat the move-throughs and competition as a starter? Being creative is key in that. And we can help. With our mortgage certificate, you increase your chances of getting that first home. Offer with 100% certainty by completing your mortgage in advance.

From uncertainty to certainty

Making an offer without a financing condition is increasingly common. But certainly not without risk. Can't get the financing? Then you have to pay 10% of the purchase price. A serious chunk of money.

Would you like to bid as a starter without this risk? Then our mortgage certificate is your safety net to beat the competition. Good to know: this certificate is part of our purchase assistance.

Why the starter certificate is for you

Sake was very helpful from the moment I met him. He charges reasonable rates and helped me find the apartment I wanted the first time. He really knows how to interact with expats and handles everything without too much hassle for people new to the Dutch real estate market. He also connected me with a mortgage advisor who offered us a very reasonable interest rate (the lowest you can get in the current market). I highly recommend Sake to anyone who wants to buy a property, especially in a competitive market like Amsterdam.

It was a fantastic experience having Sake as our real estate agent! He makes what seems complicated seem easy, takes the time to explain everything, and offers excellent advice. We found our house within a few months, and throughout the entire process, he was always available and quick to respond whenever we needed him. We would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a home. Thanks, Sake!

Truly fantastic!

I had an excellent experience with Sake! From our first meeting to receiving the keys, the entire process took less than a month—an incredibly fast and smooth process. Sake was friendly, helpful, and professional throughout the entire process, making me feel supported every step of the way. I especially appreciated his approach, giving me the freedom to view the house at my own pace and on my own schedule. This made the process comfortable and stress-free. When I was ready, he seamlessly took over the negotiations and closing, ensuring a fair deal. His expertise and efficiency made all the difference. Thank you, Sake, for your excellent service! Highly recommended.

Sake provided truly fantastic help with the purchase of our first home. Buying a house can be quite stressful at times, so there's a lot to take in. Sake has a wealth of expertise and is always calm, which is incredibly helpful in those moments. He's easily accessible and responds quickly. He also connected us with several relevant parties, making the entire purchase process smooth. I will definitely use HomeUp again when we buy our next home!

Frequently asked questions about our starter mortgage certificate

Questions, doubts, vague real estate jargon: when you're about to buy a house, there's quite a lot on your mind. In addition to personal advice at every step of the process, we answer all your pressing (as well as less pressing) questions.

Why is such a mortgage certificate worthwhile?

A large, well-known bank already takes a look at your finances before you go on the market. As soon as we have found your dream home, they immediately give the green light. This way, the stress about securing your mortgage disappears like snow in the sun.

How do I get a mortgage certificate?

You do this by creating a free search profile with us and then scheduling a telephone meeting with us. In that conversation, we will discover together whether the certificate suits your needs and situation.

Do you run a financial risk if you make an offer with a mortgage certificate?

You normally pay a penalty of 10% of the purchase price if you fail to get your mortgage done for whatever reason. This is not the case with the mortgage certificate. Your mortgage has already been approved in advance. The only thing left is an accepted offer.

When is the mortgage certificate for me?

If you want to be one step ahead of the competition when making a bid, this mortgage certificate is just the thing for you. No more worries about mortgage stress. With certainty, you can make an offer without reservation of funding. This significantly increases your chances of success.

How often can I make an offer with your mortgage certificate?

Unlimited!

How long is the mortgage certificate valid?

Our certificate is valid for a maximum of 6 months.

What if something changes in my financial situation?

Of course, your financial situation can change. If that's the case, schedule a new meeting with Nobel Mortgages to find out what this means for the mortgage certificate. This is applicable, for example, if you receive a salary increase, because it means that there will be more borrowing capacity. We can then also increase the amount of the mortgage certificate.
