Dutch mortgage guarantee limit rises to €500,000 next year
The Netherlands' NHG mortgage guarantee limit will rise next year.
It is set to increase from €470,000 to €500,000.
NHG is the National Mortgage Guarantee, which can give borrowers an interest benefit.
Advisers say the higher limit does not necessarily mean more people will qualify for that benefit.
They say the limit has risen faster than average mortgages and buyers' borrowing capacity.
For that reason, they say the limit says little about whether homes are affordable.
