Nationale Woongarantie in practice

When selling a house, there is the option to obtain Nationale Woongarantie and add it to the property. This makes the house more appealing to potential buyers. The seller pays a one-time premium of 0.85% of the purchase price of the house for this. After purchasing the house, the buyer can claim the guarantee on our website.

For buyers, Nationale Woongarantie provides the assurance that they can continue to meet their mortgage payments in the event of involuntary unemployment.
