A rental agent supports you throughout the entire rental process. This starts with determining the right rental price based on market research and the condition of the property. The agent then ensures a professional presentation and promotion of your property, for example via online platforms and their own network.
In addition, the agent arranges viewings, carefully screens potential tenants, and advises you in selecting the most suitable candidate. Once a tenant has been found, the agent drafts the rental agreement and oversees the key handover and property inspection.
Tip: With an experienced rental agent, you reduce the risk of payment arrears or unsuitable tenants and ensure a smooth and professional rental process.
Yes, an energy label is required if you want to sell or rent out your property. The energy label indicates how energy-efficient a home is, with ratings from A++++ (very efficient) to G (less efficient). It also shows which improvements can make the property more sustainable.
Since 1 January 2021, energy labels can only be issued by a certified energy advisor, and each label is valid for ten years.
As a seller or landlord, you are required to include the energy label in all property listings — for example on Funda, Facebook, in local publications, or on your real estate agent’s website. You must also provide the label to the buyer or tenant upon completion, transfer, or rental of the property.
The Human Environment and Transport Inspectorate (ILT) monitors compliance with these rules and may impose fines if a property is sold or rented without a valid energy label.

If you would like personal guidance and professional advice during the purchase process, it is wise to hire a buying agent, preferably an NVM agent. A buying agent represents only your interests, negotiates on your behalf, and guides you step by step through the purchase of a property.
Tip: With your own buying agent, you are in a stronger position during negotiations and you avoid overlooking important details.
The legally established three-day cooling-off period means that, as a buyer, you may cancel the purchase without giving any reason. The three-day cooling-off period begins once a copy of the signed purchase agreement has been handed to the buyer.
The cooling-off period may last longer than three days if it ends on a Saturday, Sunday, or public holiday. Specific rules apply to this. The NVM real estate agent can tell you exactly when the cooling-off period ends.
