Point System
As of July 1, 2024, the Affordable Rent Act ties the maximum rent to the WWS point system, determining which rental category your property falls into: social rent, mid-rent, or the free sector. Here are the three categories:
- Social rent (≤ 142 points): Rent is capped with housing allowance eligibility.
- Mid-rent (143-186 points): Capped rents aimed at middle-income tenants.
- Free sector (≥ 187 points): Rent is freely determined without regulation.
Accurate point calculation is crucial for landlords to set the right rent and avoid disputes.
At Makelaarshuis Amsterdam - Zaanstad, we not only assist with calculating WWS points but also advise on improvements to increase your property’s points, such as energy efficiency upgrades or renovations. This ensures your property may fall into a higher rental category, maximizing rental income.
If your property doesn't meet the desired points, we can also advise on potential sales, ensuring you get the best return on your investment.
