How does my energy label influence my loan capcacity?

Energy label aspects per 1-1-2026

Each house or apartment has to be provided with an energy label by law (if to be sold). If you buy a home in 2026 the energy label of your house will co determine what amount can be added to your regular max loan (on income) amount.

A better energy label results in a lower monthly energy bill, hence there is more budget for your mortgage loan costs.

That is why the amount stated below (2026) can be added to the loan amount, provided 100% spent on dedicated energy saving measures.

Besides, a better energy label also provides you with more comfort.

Finally if you decide to invest in energy saving measures the municipality or government is sometimes willing to grant financial support;
