Your questions, step by step

A loan is a long-term commitment. We go over the arrangements with you so that you understand what you are signing.

Why do I go to the notaire for this?

The bank decides on your credit. The notaire fixes the mortgage and explains to what you and any other owners commit yourselves.

How do I arrange the loan for my home?
  1. Compare loan offers and discuss your affordability with the bank.

  2. Provide the complete offer and have the bank send its instructions.

  3. Discuss settlement, guarantees and draft before the credit deed.

How does this proceed and how long does it take?

The validity date of the bank offer and the date of the purchase deed partly determine the schedule. Report an expiry date immediately.

A loan application is not yet an approved loan.

Which documents should I provide to the notaire?
What does the notaire do and investigate?
  • Which bank instructions and guarantees apply?
  • Who is authorised to sign and who commits to what?
  • Which existing mortgage rights have priority?
  • Are settlement, bank offer and alignment with the purchase correct?

We agree on which searches the office will conduct and which information you, your bank or another expert will provide.

What should I pay attention to before I sign?

Check amount, interest rate, term, monthly payment, early repayment and which debts the guarantee covers. Ask if you are also liable for someone else’s debts.

Is a passage still unclear? Feel free to ask for an explanation with an example from your own situation. Only sign when you understand what you are agreeing to.

What else must I arrange afterwards?

Check repayments and agreed insurances. In case of refinancing or sale, have existing guarantees and any cancellation reviewed again.

Which practical tips can help me?

Compare offers for the same amount and term, including insurances and additional conditions.

What do these words mean?
Mortgage
a security on real estate for a creditor.
APR
the annual percentage rate that combines certain credit costs.
Guarantor
a person who commits for someone else’s debt.
Where can I find more explanation or help?

You do not have to phrase your question in legal terms. Tell what concerns you, what you want to arrange and if an important date is approaching.

We will look together at the next step. We agree in advance on how the office will assist you and what costs are involved.
