Letting your property

Are you considering letting your property? Letting your property involves a lot of work. It is important that you find a reliable tenant, and then there are various legal and practical aspects that you need to take into account. And how much rent can you expect to get for the property? What kind of rental agreement should you use?

Amstel Housing specializes in property rentals. We've been doing that since 2002 so we've been around for quite some time and 'we know our business'.

Are you just starting to let, or are you familiar with letting? Do you have one house for rent or a larger portfolio? In all cases, we will be happy to help you find the right candidate.

Tailormade advice

We will be happy to make an appointment with you for a free and no-obligation intake to discuss the possibilities of letting your property and to meet you in person.

We can then immediately see if any adjustments to the property are needed to increase the lettability, and advise you on a feasible and realistic rental price.

We like to take pictures of your property immediately, or if you prefer, we can organize a professional photo shoot (costs apply). The photos, description and other details of your property will be placed on various relevant websites such as Pararius, Expat Rentals, Funda, etc., which are aimed at attracting the suitable potential tenant.

Of course we will also be happy to advise you, depending on your situation and plans, about the type of rental agreement and other conditions and regulations that you need to take into account.

The tenant & rental procedure

Candidates for your property, which we find via the various websites and within our network of fellow brokers and relocation consultants, are selected and screened for you.

If, after visiting your property, a rental proposal is made, or maybe even several, we will go through them with you and, if necessary, make a counter-proposal. Within the proposal, matters such as the rental price, starting date, rental period and any other conditions will be discussed.

In case of mutual agreement between you and the prospective tenant, we will draw up the rental agreement. After the signing of the agreement, the first payment of the rent and the deposit will follow, as well as the key transfer.

We also take care of the key transfer with inspection report (and photo report) of the house, and possibly the application for the supply of electricity, water, etc.

During the rental period we are of course available for you if you have any questions about the agreement, or any other questions relating to the rental.

For technical matters or financial administration (rent collection, etc.) we can also be of service, please check the possibilities we offer for property management.

Our services

We have several services that we can offer you, tailored to your needs.

Besides the rental intermediation, we also offer the following services:

  • general advice on rental, pricing and related matters;
  • information about the legal and financial possibilities and aspects;
  • information about local laws and regulations with regard to rental;
  • interior/styling advice to increase lettability;
  • drawing up of the rental agreement only (without mediation);
  • inspection of the house (inspection report with photos during transfer of the house); 
  • screening of tenants found by yourself;
  • financial and/or technical management of the property;
  • mediation in the sale of the property.

Is your house for sale as well?

If the sale of your property is not progressing, we can also (temporarily) rent out your property. This could be done on the basis of the "Leegstandwet" (vacancy law), in which the tenant signs an appropriate dissolution clause. When the house is sold, the lease can be dissolved without any problems. Enquire about the possibilities.
