This survey shows the answers to a survey question on which channels consumers in the Netherlands used to close their mortgage from the first quarter of 2010 to the first quarter of 2017. In the first quarter of 2017, roughly 31% of the respondents said they used the bank to close a mortgage. The European housing, or residential real estate, market has recently shown clear signs of recovery, with an increasing house price being the main trend. In recent years, the housing market has continued to rise in the Netherlands due the asset purchase programme (APP) of the European Central Bank and the, consequently, low mortgage rates.
