Compare property valuers in the Netherlands

Compare in the right order

Set the conditions before asking for quotes. Write down the purpose of the valuation, the address and property type, the target delivery date and the party receiving the report. Then ask several providers for the same information. This makes the comparison meaningful rather than price-led.

Criteria worth comparing

1. Purpose and acceptance

Ask whether the provider prepares the report you need and whether the intended lender or recipient accepts it. Mortgage valuations may involve validation or NHG requirements. Those requirements can change, so confirm them with the source and your adviser. Start with mortgage valuation.

2. Property and local knowledge

Compare experience with the property type, local market and unusual circumstances. Leasehold, renting, listed features, new-build and renovation can all affect the assignment. Nationwide coverage alone does not show how a particular instruction will be handled.

3. Process and reporting

Ask what the inspection includes, which documents are required and how missing information or corrections are handled. Read the guide to what a valuation report contains.

4. Cost and timing

Ask what is included, which additional costs are possible and when the report should arrive. Use the valuation costs checklist. Avoid comparisons that show only the lowest advertised starting price.

5. Transparency

Check the provider’s identity, relevant registration, communication channels and how commercial relationships are disclosed. On Beste Taxateur, a paid placement is never the same as an independent recommendation.
