Financial planning
Law requires VvEs to establish a reserve fund for maintenance costs and unexpected expenses, in order to avoid financial shortages that might otherwise delay maintenance on apartments. A well-run VvE will also help preserve its value over time.
VvE members enjoy voting rights at the General Meeting of Owners (ALV), where decisions on important matters such as maintenance and budget can be made. Members also have access to raise concerns or document violations.
As part of your search for an apartment in the Netherlands, it is imperative that you assess if its VvE (Vermogensvrij Enclosures) is active and financially stable. Review any legal documents describing how the building has been subdivided – splitsingsakte and splitsingsreglement as well as minutes from previous meetings held to verify its functioning properly. It would also be a wise move to ask your real estate agent to investigate this.
Management
Every property owner in the Netherlands automatically belongs to VvE (Vereniging van Eigenaren), an association that manages buildings on behalf of their owners, including maintenance plans, finances, insurance and association regulations. Additionally, they protect common areas and help preserve property value.
An active VvE is an asset when applying for a mortgage; however, its inactivity can cause serious problems, compromising living environments and diminishing apartment values.
An apartment cooperative’s rights and duties are detailed in both its deed of division and splitsingsreglement property division regulation. Before purchasing your apartment, request copies of these documents from your VvE. Also review its annual report, minutes of meetings and budget. It should have enough money for emergency repairs as well as building maintenance. If it does not, reach out to its board to address this situation.
Legal advice
Each apartment complex in the Netherlands has an owners’ association known as VvE (Vereniging van Eigenaren, owners’ society). When you purchase an apartment within its complex, you automatically become part of this organization which oversees maintaining common areas, hallways and stairwells as well as shared facilities like elevators and gardens. Furthermore, its primary responsibility lies with collecting service fees from owners while holding reserves to cover unexpected maintenance expenses.
Each VvE must implement a multi-year maintenance plan (MJOP) and build up reserves based on this. Reserves should represent at least 0.5% of their building’s reconstruction value annually.
Actiefvve membership is vital in order to preserve the value and quality of your home and protect its quality. Because many mortgage lenders consider VvE Vastgoedbeheerder membership a prerequisite when lending money, we advise our clients that their VvE should become active prior to selling their apartment.
Maintenance
At actiefvve , every owner becomes automatically a member when purchasing an apartment. This association is responsible for many different areas, including building maintenance and finances; as well as holding regular meetings to vote on important issues. A well-functioning VvE ensures residents’ interests are being represented, as well as necessary maintenance being performed promptly.
If you’re considering purchasing an apartment complex, it’s worth checking whether the VvE has established an adequate reserve fund. As per state law, each VvE must develop and set aside an MJOP plan (long-term maintenance plan) of at least 0.5% of reconstruction value each year as reserves.
Poorly functioning VvE systems can have serious repercussions for you and your home. From discolored stairwells and leaky roofs to decreasing home value and decreased property sales value. Before buying a house it would be wise to speak to your real estate agent regarding its status; having well-functioning VvE can make life so much simpler!
