Financing energy efficiency improvements

Financing

There are various ways of financing measures to make your home more energy efficient. We would of course be happy to discuss the pros and cons of each option with you.

Financial incentives

The government promotes sustainability with financial incentives for sustainable investments. For example, you can often apply for a subsidy to make your home more energy efficient. You can also apply for a VAT rebate on your solar panels from the Dutch tax authority (Belastingdienst).

Sustainability discount with energy label A or B

You will receive a discount on your mortgage interest rate if you buy a home with energy label A or B or if you buy a newly built home. If you renovate your home to energy label A or B and you register the energy label with the Dutch government within 24 months of the start of your fixed-rate period, you can also benefit from the discount. We will automatically apply the interest rate discount from the first day of the month following the date the label is registered.

Making a sustainable living appointment

You can finance improvements to make your home energy efficient in various ways, for example with savings or a mortgage. If you would like to know what is possible for you, make a free appointment for a no-obligation orientation meeting at one of our branches, at home or via video banking. If you are already familiar with the available mortgage options, you may be able to take out a mortgage yourself without advice.
