Information on letting a property

The Letting package contains all the main elements you need, including professional letting advice, your residential property advertised on all relevant (international) property websites and thorough screening of your future tenant. You also have a customised tenancy agreement containing the best terms and conditions and a detailed property inspection report on handing over the keys.

This package includes the following:

• Property registration
  We look forward to making an appointment to get to know you and visit the property to be let.
• Letting advice
  We advise you on e.g. lettability, the going market rate, any adjustments to the property, the risks, ins and outs of the (regional) rental market, all based on over 20 years’ experience.
• Mediation agreement
  We conclude a mediation agreement with you in which we set out everything that has been agreed.
• Presentation
  We compile a professional, bilingual presentation on the property to be let, including a (semi-) professional photo report and video if applicable.
• Advertising
  We advertise your property on a large number of (international) websites, including Funda, interhouse.nl and pararius. We also advertise it on a range of social media, in expat communities and our network of relocation agencies and multinationals.
• Letting tasks
  We match your property to those seeking properties and deal with responses from interested potential tenants, first conducting a quick scan.
• Selection
  We select high-quality (expat) tenants and arrange viewings.
• Viewings
  We arrange and conduct viewings of your property with interested, suitable candidates.
• Negotiations
  If a candidate is seriously interested in renting the property, we negotiate on your behalf with the clear aim of agreeing the most favourable conditions for you.
• Screening
  Potential tenants undergo an extensive screening process. Via the Interhouse HuurZeker Check, we conduct checks on creditworthiness, rental history and the authenticity of the data provided, including (international) ID. In addition to these tools, we conduct an online and social check and ask pertinent questions during a face-to-face meeting.
• Drawing up the correct type of tenancy agreement
  We draw up the correct type of high-quality, customised tenancy agreement, including corresponding terms and conditions, if applicable also in an English version. These documents are drawn up and under constant review by our partner and leading tenancy law firm in the Netherlands, Hielkema&Co in Amsterdam.
• Arranging signature
  Once the content of the agreement has been approved by both parties, we ensure that it is signed by all parties without delay.
• Delivery including inspection
  We are present on delivery of the property to the tenant and make a detailed record of the property’s condition at the start of the tenancy period. We do so by compiling extensive photo and inspection reports.
• Real estate management
  Management of the leased property is not included. You act as manager throughout the tenancy agreement. You assume responsibility for e.g. rent collection, rent increases, technical management and any emergencies. You have direct contact with the tenant on these issues.
• Fee
  Our fee for the tasks included in the Letting package is one month’s gross rent, excluding VAT.
• Important
  This service will probably mean that you do not comply fully with the criteria set by the Dutch tax authorities for a box 3 investment, as you are in part conducting active asset management. You therefore run the risk of your rental income being taxed in box 1 (with retroactive effect).
