Dutch mortgage and the role of the notary

ramenIn this “notary” website you can read a lot of details about buying real property in the Netherlands.

If a buyer borrows money in order to purchase a property, the lender will often demand security in the form of a mortgage. That is to say, the house becomes collateral for the borrower’s repayment obligations.

The mortgage instrument necessary for this purpose must also be drawn up by a notary, who must then arrange for an extract of that instrument to be entered in the public registers. After the loan has been repaid in full, the mortgage registration is struck out by means of a notarial instrument of mortgage cancellation.

Where property is sold, the notary will also arrange for repayment of any existing mortgage from the proceeds of sale and for cancellation of the entry in the mortgage register. After taking notice of the legislation and you decide to proceed on buying real property, you might be interested in the possibilities for acquiring a mortgage.
