Understand an Amsterdam valuation report

Answer first

An Amsterdam valuation report should make the purpose, property, evidence, value date, conclusion and limits clear. Read those parts together. The right report depends on the person or organisation that will use it.

Five checks in the report

1. Purpose: why was the report commissioned?
2. Property: do address, type, floor area, rights and condition match the home?
3. Evidence: which inspection notes and comparable sales support the opinion?
4. Value date: which date belongs to the value and which date belongs to the report?
5. Recipient: does the lender or other user accept this report form?

The report contents guide expands every check.

Property and local records

For an apartment, look for apartment-right, deed-of-division, owners’ association and maintenance information. For leasehold, look for contract, general conditions, canon, term and buyout status. The Amsterdam leasehold guide explains the local file.

Before you rely on the document

Check the address, property rights, purpose, report form, value date, assumptions and conclusion. Ask for a factual correction when something is wrong. Ask the intended recipient whether the document fits the application. For an NHG mortgage, compare the file with the current NHG physical-report requirements.
