    The Vlaardingen housing market according to real estate agent Stephen van Gilst

    Below you will read about the current (2024) situation in the Vlaardingen housing market. For this, we asked real estate agent Stephen van Gilst. 

    Stephen, who are you?
    I am Stephen van Gilst, real estate agent at RE/MAX Totaal Makelaars in Rotterdam.
     
    Rotterdam? This is Vlaardingen.
    That's correct! Our office is in Rotterdam, but I mainly focus on Vlaardingen and Schiedam from our office. I know Vlaardingen very well because I grew up and was raised there. I have lived in various places in Vlaardingen (Holy, Babberspolder, Centrum, and Westwijk) until I moved to Schiedam a few years ago for love.
     
    What developments do you see as a real estate agent in 2024 in the housing market in Vlaardingen?
    What you see happening is that many (former) Rotterdammers are moving to the areas around Rotterdam. Vlaardingen is one of the most popular places for that group. The reason is that buyers are looking for more space for their money, without having to really distance themselves from the Rotterdam vibe. 
     
    Furthermore, you see that many Vlaardingen residents like to stay in their beloved city, even though I am not a great example of that myself. There are several popular neighborhoods throughout the city, where especially starter homes and family houses are often sold quickly. It's funny to see that the true Vlaardingen residents often have a specific preference for a particular neighborhood.

    Frequently asked questions

    • How can I increase the value of my house before selling?

      You can increase the value of your house by renovating key areas like the kitchen and bathroom or applying a fresh coat of paint. Additionally, try improving the energy label. Keeping the house tidy and minimizing personal belongings can also help. Ensure a great first impression with a well-maintained garden and entrance. Find more tips here.

    • What is the best time of year to sell my house?

      The best time to sell your house varies by region, but generally, spring (March to June) is ideal due to the increased number of buyers and favorable weather, which makes for more attractive photos and viewings.

    • Do I need an energy label before selling my house?

      Yes, in the Netherlands, it is mandatory to have a valid energy label when selling or even renting out your house. Not having one can result in a fine of 435 euros. Find more information about energy labels here.

    • What happens to my mortgage when I sell my house?

      When you sell your house, you use the proceeds from the sale to first pay off the remaining mortgage debt. If there is any surplus after paying off the mortgage, you receive this amount. If the sale proceeds are lower than the mortgage debt, you will be left with a residual debt, which may require arranging with the mortgage lender. Keep in mind that you often need a notary and an appraisal for this. More information about surplus value can be found here.

    • What are the legal requirements when selling a house?

      When selling a house, the legal requirements include having a valid energy label, fulfilling the duty to inform the buyer about the condition of the house and any defects, and correctly handling the transfer of ownership at the notary, including signing the purchase agreement and the deed of transfer. Additionally, the sale must be registered with the Land Registry. Read more about selling your house here.
