Martin Vrieling, mortgage advisor in Tilburg
Martin Vrielingindependent mortgage advisor & purchase guidance specialist at Belderbrandt in Tilburg

I still remember what it felt like to buy our first home: the uncertainty, the questions and the pressure of taking such a big financial step. I draw on that experience every day when helping clients arrange their mortgage and buy their home with confidence.

I started my career trading on the floor of the Amsterdam options exchange, where I learned how financial markets and risk really work. I spent years as a mortgage advisor, first at Hypotheek Shop Tilburg and later at Hypotheek Visie Tilburg, where I built the home-buying guidance service from the ground up. In both roles, I saw first-hand what clients need, and where the process could be made better.

That experience led me to start Belderbrandt: an independent mortgage advisory practice where I have the freedom to recommend what suits you best. We compare mortgages from nearly every lender in the Netherlands and look beyond the interest rate alone. We consider your personal situation, your plans for the future and the choices that matter along the way.

Hij stond altijd voor ons klaar om vragen te beantwoorden, te overleggen of gewoon even te sparren.

Martin nam altijd uitgebreid de tijd om alles rustig en duidelijk uit te leggen. Hij dacht goed met ons mee, was altijd goed bereikbaar en gaf ons ook advies over zaken waar we zelf nog helemaal niet aan hadden gedacht.

How it works

  1. You book a meeting

    Free, no strings attached, at your place, at our office or over Teams. Set aside about an hour and a half.

  2. You find out where you stand

    You'll see what is open to you, what it costs and what to watch for. Come as you are — we work out the details together.

  3. You decide

    You know your options and choose your own next step. Nothing is settled until you say so.

Independent advice

We compare mortgages from nearly every Dutch lender, including:

  • Nationale-Nederlanden
  • Lloyds
  • ABN AMRO
  • Obvion
  • ING
  • Aegon
  • Rabobank
  • Florius
  • ASR

What you can expect from us

Direct contact

You can call, message, or email us directly. We pick up the phone ourselves, and we answer your messages ourselves.

We work with both Dutch and international clients. Many expats we help entirely in English, so that as a newcomer to the Netherlands you understand exactly which choices you are making and how the Dutch mortgage process works.

Support from start to finish

Buying a home is about more than arranging a mortgage. We support you throughout the entire process: from the first introductory meeting we think along about your options, the search for a home, the bidding and everything up to the notary.

We know Tilburg

We know the housing market in Reeshof, Oud-Noord, Piushaven and Bomenbuurt. Together with local estate agents and valuers, we make sure you're well prepared.

Independent mortgage advice

We compare mortgages from nearly every Dutch lender. That means we don't advise what is best for one bank, but which mortgage best suits your personal situation.

Financing statement

Once it's clear how much you can borrow, we draw up a financing statement. This puts you in a stronger position when making an offer on a home.

You choose the location

At your home, at the office, or via Teams. Whatever works best for you.

Buying your first home in Tilburg

Buying a first home is a big step. How much can you borrow? Do you have enough savings? What if there are multiple offers? We guide you through it step by step, in plain English, so you know exactly where you stand.

As a first-time buyer, you may be eligible for the municipal Starter Loan. We check whether you qualify and explain what it means for your situation.

Ready for an introduction?

Your introductory meeting is completely free and without obligation. It takes about 90 minutes.

Current rates

Rates depend on factors such as the size of your mortgage relative to the value of your home, and whether you use the Dutch National Mortgage Guarantee (NHG). Choose NHG if your mortgage has NHG; if not, choose the percentage of your home's value you're borrowing.
