Buying a home in the sunny south? Expat Mortgages South can help

If you're considering buying a home in the Netherlands, you probably have a million questions. Which neighbourhood will suit me best? Can I rent out the home if I go abroad again? Should I buy in a city or will I have a better life in a village nearby?

These are frequent queries from clients at Expat Mortgages South, located at High Tech Campus Eindhoven. Their local experts can answer your questions and help you build a life in the Netherlands.

“A lot of internationals come here, and a main factor is the tech sector,” says mortgage consultant Steff Driessen. “These businesses want to grow; they are building, expanding, and want to hire more people. House prices are expected to rise, and Eindhoven is a great place to buy”.

It can be less of a culture shock to move to the south of the Netherlands, which has a softer accent and culture than the north.

“We like the bon vivant lifestyle, good food, good wines, and a lot of villages have good connections to Eindhoven,” he says. “If you have a nice budget and a busy life, look in Eindhoven city centre - but the Limburg area,  Weert and Roermond are cheaper, and the public transport connections are so good that the difference in commuting time is negligible.”

Open House Day is a great opportunity

In a busy housing market, where there are fewer homes than there are people who want to buy, you don’t want too much pressure when you go for viewings.

“Luckily, there’s a perfect but little-known event that lets you explore homes without making an appointment and with no strings attached,” says Denny Janssen, managing director of Expat Mortgages South. “It’s the NVM Open Huizen Dag on Saturday, April 5, 2025. Thousands of homeowners across the Netherlands open their doors, allowing potential buyers to walk in freely and explore different homes”.

“For internationals, this is a golden opportunity to view multiple properties in a single day. You can see homes up close, ask homeowners directly and get honest insights about the house, the neighbourhood and daily life”.

Top tips from Expat Mortgages South

  • Make a shortlist to see the homes that interest you the most between 11am and 3pm on Open Huizen Dag: the homes will be shown on www.nvm.nl from March 20, 2025, and on funda.nl.
  • Prepare key questions: Insulation? Energy efficiency? Renovation history? Foundations? Flood risk? Estate agents have a legal requirement to tell the truth, so ask the important questions!
  • Know your budget: Avoid disappointment by understanding what you can afford before you start house hunting. Try the Expat Mortgages South calculator for a guide to what you can borrow.
  • Book a free consultation with the experts at Expat Mortgages South to understand your budget, monthly mortgage costs, one-time expenses, and what you can deduct from taxes.

Expat Mortgages South is happy to help you prepare for the Open Huizen Dag or your first viewing! Simply book a free mortgage consultation or visit one of their upcoming housing events to understand every step of the mortgage process.

Keep the momentum going!

“If you find a home you love, acting fast is crucial,” says Denny. “Once you’ve found a home you want to buy, you need to be ready to move quickly. Short lines of communication with your mortgage advisor can make all the difference”.

You can call, email or WhatsApp your friendly team at Expat Mortgages South, or book a meeting right away. They're ready to help you secure your dream home!
