National Mortgage Guarantee: Who Qualifies and What You Get

Learn how the National Mortgage Guarantee can lower your interest rates and provide a financial safety net if you have to sell your home at a loss.

The National Mortgage Guarantee is a program designed to provide financial security to homebuyers and lenders by offering a safety net in difficult market conditions.

Who it's for

This scheme is available to buyers who are purchasing a home that falls below the current price limit set by the program.

What you get

By using this guarantee, you may benefit from a lower interest rate on your mortgage. Additionally, it acts as a safety net that protects you if you are forced to sell your home for less than the remaining amount of your mortgage.

What it costs you

There is a one-time fee, known locally as a borgtochtprovisie, which is calculated as 0.6% of your total mortgage amount.

The catch to know

This scheme is intended for people buying a home to live in; it is not available for buy-to-let properties intended for investment.

How to apply

  1. Check if the purchase price of your new home is within the allowed limit.
  2. Consult with your mortgage provider to see if you qualify for the lower interest rate.
  3. Confirm the one-time fee amount required for your specific mortgage.
  4. Finalize your mortgage application through your lender.
