The Importance of Financieel VvE Beheer in Property Management

Purchase of an apartment within a multi-owner complex automatically makes you legally part of the VvE, the association responsible for maintaining and managing the building, with which it must establish a reserve fund in case unexpected costs arise.

Monthly fees are charged to cover this cost; therefore it is prudent to review your budget, financial statements and multi year maintenance plan prior to paying any monthly fee.

Financial

An active VvE facilitates smooth money flows among owners and helps protect you against unexpected expenses. A properly functioning VvE also can increase your chances of getting approved for a mortgage.

As soon as you buy an apartment, you become part of the Vereniging van Eigenaren (VvE). By becoming part of this association, you assume responsibility for managing and maintaining the building.

Service fees are charged by a VvE to cover expenses such as management, insurance and maintenance costs. The annual meeting of owners determines their amount. Depending on the size and total number of homes in a complex, your monthly contribution could be significant. In addition, VvEs must set aside an emergency reserve fund in case any unexpected repairs need to be undertaken; an expert can create an MJOP to determine exactly how much is due each month; an invaluable way of understanding financial situations of buildings.

Legal

Mortgage providers take great comfort in knowing that a properly functioning VvE with sufficient reserves and people who take property management seriously is an asset when granting mortgages. Mortgage providers feel assured by meeting with at least once annually and keeping minutes, as well as checking whether recent minutes exist and the VvE has sufficient funds for maintenance and emergencies.

Dormant VvEs can be a source of great frustration. Unfinished maintenance work, spiraling costs and ownership conflicts are just a few issues caused by non-activation. Therefore, activating and funding your VvE are both vital steps. Register with KvK (there is a small fee involved here), then organise meetings and work towards having an active and financially sustainable VvE that benefits everyone within your building community.

Technical

As soon as you purchase property in the Netherlands, you become part of a VvE (Vereniging van Eigenaren). This association plays an integral part in managing and maintaining your building; when managed effectively it can help lower costs while avoiding mistakes that could prove costly down the line.

Before buying a home, it is crucial that the VvE has enough financial reserves set aside in case of unexpected expenses. Check their MJOP (multiyear maintenance plan), along with how much money has been set aside as savings. Also look out for notices and minutes from recent meetings held within their VvE.

An effective Financieel VvE beheer can be an invaluable asset when applying for mortgages, helping you obtain better interest rates and move in quicker. Your mortgage provider might even approve larger mortgage amounts with such an organization that takes its running seriously and has solid finances.

It is our objective to put out VvEs completely, provide owners with insight into financial status as well as purchasing services/asset management to support VvE management.

Administrative

As soon as you purchase an apartment in a multi-owner complex, you automatically and legally become part of its VvE (Vereniging van Eigenaren). Along with other owners, it will become your responsibility to oversee and manage its common areas and take care in maintaining them.

A properly functioning VvE ensures proper building maintenance and increases property value, as well as lowering maintenance costs by limiting wear and tear. A failing or inoperable VvE could incur unexpected expenses and complications; so it is crucial that buyers inspect it prior to making a decision on purchasing property.

Each VvE must establish a reserve fund to cover unexpected expenses, while to anticipate maintenance needs a multi-year maintenance plan, or MJOP in Dutch, is created. This helps predict future work needs accurately while conserving financial resources efficiently while avoiding unexpected costs.
