The benefits of a starter loan when buying a house in Haarlem or Amsterdam

In around 200 municipalities, including Haarlem and Amsterdam, you can get help with a starter loan as a first-time buyer. This is an additional loan in addition to your mortgage. The starter loan offers a solution especially if you do not have (enough of) your own money to bridge the difference between the price of the home and your maximum mortgage. And it offers advantageous terms. For the first three years, you pay no interest and repayment for the starter loan. After that, you will pay interest and repayment, provided that your income has risen sufficiently.
