Why Choose
Roling Advies
Benefits of
refinancing a mortgage
Refinancing your mortgage offers immediate benefits: lower monthly payments, better terms, and greater flexibility. By switching to a new mortgage lender, you can take advantage of today’s low interest rates, especially if your current interest rate is higher.
This can save you hundreds of euros a year. In addition, you can minimize the prepayment penalty by timing your moves wisely, and you’ll often have additional options, such as interest rate averaging or refinancing your existing mortgage to better align it with your future. A mortgage that’s a better fit increases your financial security and gives you peace of mind.
At Roling Advies, I calculate the benefits of refinancing for you and advise you on the best times to do so, always in accordance with the AFM guidelines for sound financial advice.
Lower monthly payments: Current low interest rates & reduced prepayment penalties
Better Terms: Interest rate averaging and an appropriate mortgage
Personal: Advice tailored just for you
When and how to refinance:
Calculate your prepayment penalty
and new interest
Refinancing is a smart move if market interest rates are lower than your current rate, or if you want to adjust to changes such as a higher income or making your home more sustainable.
You can refinance your mortgage with a new lender, often with a prepayment penalty, but this penalty is tax-deductible and is often recouped quickly. I’ll help you calculate the prepayment penalty and compare lenders to find the best interest rates.
Refinancing is easy for annuity or linear mortgages, and with
interest-only mortgages, you can carry over part of the balance. Depending on your situation, you can borrow up to 100% of the home’s value—or more if you’re making sustainability improvements.
I'll create a personalized plan tailored to your income, preferences, and Dutch mortgage regulations, including options such as interest rate discounts for energy-efficient homes.

The length of the entire process—from requesting a mortgage quote to the final approval of the mortgage—varies from person to person.

I believe it’s very important to work transparently and honestly. That’s why I use fixed rates for mortgage advice. Within this rate, I’ll handle everything related to your mortgage application for you, including advice and taking out insurance policies. So there are no unexpected or hidden costs.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of a fixed-rate mortgage versus a variable-rate mortgage?
Fixed interest rate:
Advantages:
Stable monthly payments: Your monthly mortgage payments remain the same throughout the fixed-rate period, providing predictability and financial security.
Protection against rising interest rates: If market interest rates rise, your interest rate will not change, which protects you from higher costs.
Disadvantages:
Less flexible: You will not benefit from any drop in interest rates during the fixed-rate period.
Higher interest rates: In general, fixed interest rates are higher than variable interest rates because you're paying for the security of stable monthly payments.
Penalty interest for early repayment or moving: If you want to make additional payments or refinance your mortgage during the fixed-rate period, the bank may charge a prepayment penalty.
Variable interest rate:
Advantages:
Lower startup costs: Variable interest rates are generally lower than fixed interest rates, which can result in lower monthly payments at the start.
Flexibility: If interest rates fall, your monthly payments will immediately reflect this decrease.
Lower penalty interest: In the event of early repayment or a move, the costs are often lower or nonexistent.
Disadvantages:
Uncertainty: Your monthly payments may increase if interest rates rise, which carries the risk of higher monthly payments.
Financial planning: It's harder to plan your monthly budget because your expenses can vary.
Higher costs when interest rates rise: If interest rates rise significantly, your monthly payments could put an unexpected strain on your finances.
Lower maximum borrowing capacity: With a variable interest rate, a higher (notional) interest rate is used in the calculation, which may mean you can borrow less, especially with a variable interest rate.
