Using your excess value means you take out a new mortgage or you increase your existing mortgage. The value of your property will be transferred to your bank account. We call this redeeming excess value.
You can use the excess value for large expenses, an investment or as a gift.Â
This might be interesting for a lot of people as prices of houses have gonne up in recent years and the interest rate is still low. Â
House prices in the Netherlands have gone up by 40% on average in the past three years. What does this mean?
Increasing your mortgage means you can make the most of your excess value, which you can use for whatever you want: a nice car, investing in real estate, early retirement of a financial gift to your children or grand children.
The excess value can be used if the outstanding mortgage is lower than the value of your property. For example, you can use €100K excess value if your mortgage is worth €250K and your property is worth €350K. If this is possible in your situation, depends on your salary.
A personal loan is often charged a 5-7% interest, however, the interest rate on a mortgage is approximately 2%. That’s a lot less expensive!
When using your excess value, you take out a mortgage. The bank is running a smaller risk compared to a personal loan, which means you pay less interest. You can pay off the loan over a longer period of time or take out an interest-only mortgage. As a result, your monthly charges will be lower compared to other types of loans.
The mortgage interest rate is still at an historic low, however it is slowly increasing again. Make the most of it while you can!
When doing our calculations, we also check if you can refinance your mortgage in order to reduce your monthly charges. This might make it possible to use your excess value without an increase in monthly charges.
Every month, you pay interest and (usually) pay off part of your mortgage. The mortgage interest rate is increasing but is still quite low! Something you can still benefit from.
The interest you pay has been agreed with your bank when you took out your mortgage. This doesn’t mean you are stuck with it. Refinancing your mortgage gives you the chance to benefit from a lower interest rate. This could save you hundreds of euros per month. Â
In 2010 the interest rate was 6%, these days it is often lower than 1.5%. Taking out a new mortgage means you could pay 75% less interest compared to 2010!Â

After your meeting with the mortgage advisor, we will start searching for your most ideal mortgage! Which mortgage suits you best depends on your preferences and the conditions set by different banks. There are a lot of different mortgages, and they all have different terms and conditions:

After we have looked into this for you, our mortgage advisor will provide you with a proposal on updating your mortgage.
When you are happy with this advice, Vixx will apply for a new mortgage proposal from the bank which meets your requirements. This could be your existing bank, or a different, cheaper bank.
Once the proposal is approved, Vixx will get cracking! We stay in touch with the bank and make sure all communication and necessary paperwork is dealt with accordingly. All you have to do is hand in the documents, Vixx takes care of everything else.
After the new mortgage contract has been signed, this needs to be registered at the notary. The notary will ensure your new mortgage is registered at the Dutch Cadastre, Land Registry and Mapping Agency and your old mortgage is no longer valid.
