Why leasehold can work in your favour
- Lower mortgage, lower monthly costs
Because you don't finance the land itself, the required mortgage is lower. The annual ground lease fee is currently 2.39%, while mortgage interest rates for the same amount are considerably higher. This can result in lower monthly housing costs.
- Tax benefits
Like mortgage interest, the annual ground lease fee is tax-deductible under the applicable Dutch tax rules, which may provide a direct financial advantage.
- Greater borrowing capacity
The relatively low annual leasehold payment has a favourable effect on mortgage affordability calculations. As a result, you may be able to borrow more, giving you greater purchasing power.
- Attractive now and in the future
The combination of a lower financing requirement and greater borrowing capacity makes homes at The Vold appealing to a broad range of buyers. That's not only beneficial when purchasing your home, but can also be an advantage when selling it in the future.
