Experiences with Interhouse

My experience with Interhouse Makelaars Utrecht (Vincent, Tim, and Michiel) can be summed up in three words: professional, friendly, and timely. I first got to know Interhouse during my initial housing experience in Utrecht, where they were representing my landlord. From the very beginning, they were clear and thorough in their communication. They took the time to show me the property and explain everything in detail, both to me and my real estate agent at the time. When it was time for me to move out, they guided me through the check-out process with the same level of clarity and punctuality, which I truly appreciated. Later on, Interhouse also helped me find my second home in Utrecht. Once again, I was impressed by their proactiveness and genuine eagerness to assist—especially as an expat navigating the Dutch housing market. What I find truly exceptional about Interhouse is their commitment to fairness and integrity. Even when representing the landlord, they treated me—the tenant—with the utmost respect and transparency. They strictly follow current housing regulations, which is a rare but highly valuable trait in such a competitive market. I wholeheartedly recommend Interhouse Makelaars Utrecht to any expat looking to build a new life in the Netherlands. Their professionalism and dedication make all the difference.

I can't thank Interhouse enough for the amazing service they provided. From the very start, they made me feel comfortable and supported, and Michiel was an absolute gem to work with. He wasn’t just our broker, he truly guided us through the entire process. We toured several homes together, and he was always patient, answering all my questions, no matter how small. What really stood out was how Michiel went above and beyond to help us understand the new neighborhood and gave us insights that helped me make the right decision. It didn’t stop there, after I got the keys to my new home, Michiel was still available, always ready to chat and clarify anything I needed. A huge thank you to Michiel and the entire team at Interhouse for making what could have been a stressful process feel smooth and exciting.

Excellent Estate Agent in Sassenheim - Highly Recommended! I can only share a very positive experience about Rob Salman, estate agent at Interhouse in Sassenheim, who helped us tremendously in finding a home. From the very first point of contact, I knew I was in good hands. Rob took the time to listen carefully to our wishes and quickly came up with several options that perfectly matched my budget and preferences. What I particularly appreciated was the personal approach and professional advice throughout the entire process. Communication was clear, quick and very friendly. No question was too much, and I always felt informed about the next steps. In short, a reliable, professional and committed estate agent whom I would recommend to anyone. Thank you for the great service, Rob, and for making my housing dreams come true! Translated with DeepL.com (free version)

We recently used Intherhouse Verhuurmakelaars and worked with Nick Visser. Nick was extremely helpful throughout the entire process, answering all our questions promptly and efficiently. Thanks to his assistance, the rental process went smoothly and we were very satisfied with the service provided.

We recently rented out our apartment with InterHouse. It was a complicated case for us due to us being two non-Dutch expats renting out a home temporarily while we are abroad, but Jens and his team at InterHouse were able to clearly explain the process and work with us through all the administrative work necessary. They are always fast to reply and with clear communication. We can’t recommend InterHouse enough, we are very happy 🙂

You do not sell a home every day. In fact, it is likely something you will only do a few times in your life. An experienced real estate agent often increases the chance of achieving a higher sale price and ensures a smooth sales process. An agent understands the local market and determines the right sales strategy. In addition, they have access to a strong network and the relevant property platforms to present your home in the best possible way. They also ensure professional presentation and effective marketing. With experience in negotiations, your interests are carefully safeguarded. Moreover, an agent takes the entire process off your hands, saving time and preventing a great deal of stress.

An energy label is required when renting out or selling a residential property. The label must be available at transfer or at the start of the tenancy.
Is an energy label required when advertising?
If an energy label is available, it must be included in the listing. If no energy label is available yet, it does not have to be shown when advertising. The energy label must, however, be available in time for sale or rental.
Is an energy label required at transfer?
Sales: the energy label must be provided to the buyer at the notarial transfer at the latest.
Rentals: the energy label must be available at the start of the tenancy agreement.
What does the energy label mean when letting?
For rentals, the energy label is part of the points system (WWS). The number of points affects the maximum rent and whether a property falls within the regulated or free sector. An incorrect or missing label may result in a lower permitted rent.
What does the energy label mean for selling?
For selling, the energy label informs buyers about the property’s energy performance and sustainability potential. It often plays a role in buyer decision making.
Currently, there is an exemption for national listed monuments from the energy label requirement. This exemption is expected to end in May 2026. -
For commercial property, there are strict demands for durability. For example, since January 1st 2023 office spaces must have at least energy label C to be let or used. There are exceptions, but these are limited.
If you don’t meet this requirement, you risk the following:
- Government enforcement, such as fines or penalty’s
- Decrease in value of the property
- Limitations when refinancing or selling
- Possible tenant claims when the property doesn’t adhere to the agreed upon function of use
It’s important to look further ahead: steps are being taken to improve the energy label to A in the future, and installations such as central heating boilers are slowly phased out. As owner, you have to plan ahead for durability, both financial and technical.
