What do the new rules of the Affordable Rent Act mean for you? <\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tWith the introduction of the Affordable Rent Act in 2024, much is changing for both landlords and tenants of private housing. One of the biggest changes is the role the energy label plays in the WWS calculation (housing rating system). The energy label of a home indicates how energy efficient the home is. A home with a high energy label (for example, A or B) is more energy efficient than a home with a lower label, such as E or F. This is important because a better energy label not only means that the home is more sustainable, but also means lower energy costs for the tenant. For landlords, improving the energy label is an interesting option because it has a direct effect on the rent that can be asked. With the new Affordable Rent Act, a better energy label can cause a property to receive more points in the WWS, which can lead to a higher maximum rent. \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

How does the WWS calculation work?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThe housing rating system is a point system used to assess the quality of a rental property. Based on various factors, such as area, amenities and location, a property is assigned points. Since the introduction of the Affordable Rent Act, the energy label also plays a major role in this point calculation. A property with a high energy label can receive many extra points in the WWS calculation, leading to a higher maximum rent. In contrast, a house with a low energy label receives fewer points, which can put pressure on the rent. This is why it is interesting for landlords to invest in improving the energy label of their property, for example by taking insulation measures or installing more efficient heating systems. At Goeth Vastgoed, we can help you obtain an energy label and draw up the WWS calculation. In addition, we offer customized advice to help you obtain a better energy label and a more favorable WWS calculation. With our expertise, we can advise you on possible improvements to your home that can lead to higher energy efficiency and a better point rating in the WWS. \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThe Affordable Rent Act was introduced to ensure that rents in the free sector remain affordable. Previously, only social rental properties were subject to strict regulations regarding the maximum rent, but this law now partially regulates the free sector as well. As a result, many landlords are required to take into account the WWS calculation, even if they previously rented in the free sector. \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

To improve your energy label, you can take several measures. For example, you can make your rental property more sustainable with the following
options:
– Improving insulation can drastically reduce the home’s energy consumption.
– Installing HR++ or triple glazing. These forms of glass have a much better
insulation value than double glazing.
– Install economical heating systems such as a heat pump or a modern high-efficiency boiler to reduce gas consumption.
– Install solar panels to generate energy yourself.<\/p>
