Strategic valuation
One July 1, 2024, the Affordable Rent Act came into effect. Since then, it is impossible to rent out a property without a correct home valuation. This is a legal obligation that is strictly enforced by the municipality. Non-compliance can lead to heavy fines. Therefore, it is crucial to arrange this properly. The ‘woningwaarderingsstelsel’ (WWS) is complex. Conducting a home valuation yourself often leads to inaccurate results, which can have significant consequences. We have certified staff trained to carry out the home valuation accurately, correctly, and efficiently.
Our strategic valuation includes:
- A detailed on-site inspection;
- Performing a correct home valuation according to the new WWS;
- Identifying potential issues in a risk analysis*;
- A customized improvement recommendation;
- Preparing a new, correctly specified rent calculation*;
- Additional personal explanation of the results and any actions to be taken.
* If applicable
Your advantages:
- If the property is occupied, we schedule the home visit directly with the tenant. You don’t need to arrange anything nor be present;
- The home valuation is prepared according to the new “woningwaarderingsstelsel” (WWS);
- You gain immediate insight into rental possibilities and know exactly where you stand;
- Any improvement advice we provide can increase the return on your property;
- Updating the report after adjustments (such as a new energy label) is included at no extra charge;
- The results remain valid as long as the WWS does not change; even in case of re-letting in the future.
Important to know
What is a strategic valuation?
A strategic valuation goes beyond merely measuring and counting points. Interhouse considers all factors that influence the outcome, from energy efficiency to amenities. With our knowledge of the “woningwaarderingsstelsel” (WWS), we identify opportunities and sticking points and advise on how to improve the number of points. This increases the chance of achieving a higher rent price or maintaining the private sector status.
Why insight is important now
With a notice period of only one month, there is often little time to make decisions. By having a strategic valuation carried out now, you know exactly where you stand, and we can create a plan for the future together. This provides clarity and peace of mind.
Base rent or total rent
Many properties are rented out partially or fully furnished. The home valuation determines the maximum base rent, but service costs, furnishing and equipment are added afterwards. Together, these make up the total rent. The amounts must comply with legal regulations, as set out in the new Service Costs Policy Book.
