Can I get a mortgage with a temporary employment contract?

A temporary contract does not rule out a mortgage. Lenders mainly want to know how sustainable your income is.

What can help

  • A statement of intent (intentieverklaring) from your employer.
  • A continuous employment history.
  • A second income in the household.

Good to know

Options differ per personal situation and per lender. Always have your situation assessed personally.
