Starter Loan

By applying for a Starter Loan, you can borrow up to €29,000 extra on top of your mortgage. As a starter, you do not have to pay interest and repayments for the first three years. After three years, this will be reassessed based on your income (retest). The term of the Starter Loan is 30 years. The interest rate is fixed for the first 15 years.

How does it work?

To qualify for the starter loan, you must meet some requirements . All requirements are mentioned in the regulation (see local regulations). The most important ones are listed below.

• You are 18 years or older, resident in the Netherlands and entitled to residency.
• This is the first home you buy. When you buy a house together, this applies to both of you.
• You move into the home yourself. When you buy a house together, this applies to both of you.
• The house purchased is in the municipality of Aalten (so starters from outside the municipality are also welcome).
• The purchase/contract price of the home is up to €290,000.

Financing Statement

The financing statement is a short document in which you indicate that, based on your own financial situation, you expect to be able to pay for the plot. It is not an official document from the bank or mortgage adviser, but purely intended as an indication for us. This gives us a better idea of the feasibility of your plans.

Important to know: you do not need to provide this statement until you have received an option on a lot after the draw night. So you do not need to provide anything in advance to participate in the draw.
