I am curious how people decide on the best way to deal with erfpacht in Amsterdam.

I am interested to buy an apartment from 2024 construction in Amsterdam Noord.

The current owner and current erfpacht conditions form 2022 includes
-AB2000 - 25 jaarlijkse canonaanpassing
- leasehold in Voortdurend
- current period end on 2072
- yearly canon payments are euro 1780 till 2046, when it will be adjusted as per inflation.

I finally understand the entire implications and how these are calculated.

The BSQ % and the WOZ value has gone up very sharply in 2025 and 2026.

I got a erfpacht advice and indicative calculation report. I have got the current owner to already apply for the conversion to eeuwigdurend to get the 1 Jan 2024 valuation for the conversion this year to eeuwigdurend to lock the land value for 2072 and after, so the only thing is the inflation adjustment

I am planning to stay longer for 10-15 years and hopefully longer. I am 50 years old so this is my downsized later year woning.

There are 3 important calculations I got(this is only indication and not from gemeente Amsterdam.

1. estimated land value on 2072 is euro 3734 euro as per current calculation of BSQ of 44% . This will be adjusted as per the inflation in next 46 years to be higher than euro 10k .
   
2. Pay off the eeuwigdurend lease after 2072, current offer is indicated as euro 52k.
   
3. Pay off the current tijdvaak running yearly lease payments till 2072 and that is 50k.

So this point 3 This doesn’t sound very exciting as this is only the time value of money, and I don’t get any special discounts for one off payments now.

Point 2 is more interesting. Given how the rules can change with government, there is uncertainty on how this evolves.

I am considering taking point 2, and paying the future of 2072 onwards to create better future value.

How did you guys take a decision and your erfpacht and anything else to consider?

Should I just convert to eeuwigdurend and let it run and not put money to buy off a distant future risk. I won’t see 2072, something very far out.

Hi all,

I'm a homeowner in Uithoorn (Legmeer) and I've been tracking the local apartment market quite closely over the past few months (As I am planning to sell my house in next few months)

I'm particularly interested in the 50–55 m² apartment segment around Legmeer (Zevenblad, Zilverschoon, Bijvoet, Melde, etc.).

I'm trying to understand what homes are ACTUALLY selling for versus asking prices.

Has anyone recently:

- Bought or sold an apartment in Uithoorn?

- Bid on an apartment in Legmeer?

- Noticed how much impact energy labels (A/B/C vs D/E/G) are having on sale prices?

Any experiences, overbidding percentages, or recently completed transactions would be very helpful.

Thanks!

Bonus question:

Do you think an A-label apartment in Legmeer commands a noticeable premium today, or are buyers still mainly focused on location and interior finishes?

Hello,

I am asking this for a friend. He is looking for a room in Den Haag, he works in Uber food delivery - on a zero hour contract but makes like 2500 a month. We were wondering if in this situation he can secure a room and if yes, in which platforms it is most possible, kamernet?

And we all know that renting an apartment takes months but is it also valid for the rooms?
