Regulations & the Housing Act
The sale of housing association homes requires adherence to Housing Act regulations. We closely follow these developments and are happy to advise you on setting up a process to ensure you comply with all the requirements.
About the Housing Act
The new Housing Act went into force in 2015. Since that time, several amendments have been implemented. For instance, the rules for the sale of housing association homes were amended from 1 April 2017 and further detailed on 1 July 2017 in the legislative amendment ("Veegwet") covering various elements of housing legislation.
The interest of stakeholders
Stakeholders play an important role in a sales process. In order to ensure the success of a process, it is important that all parties involved are informed accurately and on time, and that the views of the municipalities be requested. We have fully integrated these matters into our service provision by setting up a communication plan as a standard.
Your file at the Ministry
To ensure everything complies with current regulations, the Ministry of the Interior and Kingdom Relations must provide its approval. We have successfully supervised this process for many housing associations.
