What is a linear mortgage (lineaire hypotheek)?

With a linear mortgage (lineaire hypotheek) you repay a fixed amount of principal every month, so your payments are highest at the start and decrease over time. You build equity (overwaarde) faster and pay less total interest than with an annuity mortgage. It suits buyers who can afford higher initial payments and want to reduce their debt quickly.
