Mortgage advisors concerned about possible restrictions on interest-only mortgages

Almost all mortgage advisors are looking with concern at possible measures to further restrict interest-only mortgages. According to a report by AMweb, they believe this could unnecessarily limit the freedom of choice for homebuyers. According to the source, there is little support for the idea within the professional group.

The report states that advisors are afraid that stricter rules could have consequences for people who specifically benefit from an interest-only loan. Those who, for example, have fixed a low interest rate or are building up additional capital outside the mortgage would, according to them, have less flexibility. How far the plans go is not yet clear.

The criticism aligns with earlier discussions about the role of interest-only mortgages in the Dutch housing market. According to AMweb, advisors see risks but believe that not everyone benefits from a general restriction. They reportedly advocate for more customization instead of new rules.
