Deed of mortgage
Most people who buy a house take out a mortgage loan from a bank to pay for their house. Taking out a mortgage is no simple process. A lot of money is involved. The first step is the application for a quotation for a mortgage. Once this has been okayed, you return the signed mortgage quotation and you have time to submit the required documents. Based on the information provided, the bank will approve the loan. Not until then may the deed of mortgage be executed by civil-law notary Houtepen.
Some home-buyers borrow money to buy a house from their parents, for instance. In this case it is also important that a loan agreement is drawn up. This agreement does not only lay down the interests of the money lender, but yours too. It goes without saying that the fiscal aspects are also important. Notaris Houtepen will be happy to help you draft a loan agreement and to formulate this in a notarial deed.
