The length of time to apply for a mortgage
Applying for a mortgage takes time. This is because there are three phases that you have to go through for the application. Ultimately, this often takes four to eight weeks.

This is how applying for a mortgage works
The first phase focuses on orientation. Here you look for the mortgage adviser that suits you. This is important because he or she guides you through the process.

With these documents you prove that you can repay the mortgage. The mortgage lender needs at least two weeks to review these documents. Is this a deal? Then the last step is the mortgage deed, which is drawn up by the notary. When the property is transferred, you sign this deed and the mortgage is completed!
