Valuation

STEP1

First we look at the situation

We first make an appointment to view and photograph the property. During that visit we also look at the state of maintenance and the environment of the home.

How is the house insulated? Are there solar panels on the roof, for example? Are there shops and schools nearby? Public transport?

STEP2

Then we collect the documents

For that we go to the Land Registry, the soil counter, foundation viewer and spatial planning. Fortunately, many of this can now be done digitally. We also need the title deed, the energy label and all kinds of other documents.

STEP3

We then work out the report

Now, with all that data, we can get started. We describe the house in detail and process all information in a report. We then look for three reference properties, which are comparable to your property, to substantiate the value. We assess all three on location, type, size, quality and energy consumption, for example.

STEP4

Then we are checked

When the report is ready, it has to be validated. This is done by the NWWI Foundation (Netherlands Housing Value Institute), which applies strict quality requirements and also provides three reference buildings that we must assess. In case of a valuation before and after renovation, that is even six buildings, three that are comparable to before the renovation and three after.

STEP5

Result

But then: it’s worth it! An NWWI report is accepted by every lender in the Netherlands and can be used for all other cases where a valuation report is requested.
