What to look out for in Amsterdam
The points on which proposals differ most in practice.
Occupier or investor
Selling with vacant possession to an owner-occupier in Amsterdam usually achieves more per m². Selling with a tenant in place attracts investors, who calculate based on rental income and the remaining lease term.
Complete sales documentation
Land Registry details, NEN 2580 measurement report, energy label, soil information, asbestos survey, environmental permit and zoning plan. Incomplete documentation costs weeks and negotiating room.
Permitted use and redevelopment
Is your property in Amsterdam in an area transitioning to residential or mixed use? Its value as a redevelopment opportunity may then be higher than its value as industrial premises.
Calculate the tax implications in advance
Property transfer tax, the property's VAT position and any VAT adjustment period together determine the net proceeds. Have these calculated before negotiations, not afterwards.
