Tina Nijkamp also throws the towel in the ring: the Oud-SSBS boss has sold its rental home in Amsterdam because of the new rental rules. It simply no longer pays, she says.
The failed rental laws of Hugo de Jonge and the considerably increased box 3 levy currently lead to a Volondgolf: more than 50 thousand homes have been put for sale in the second quarter, the highest number since 2008. The reason? Certainly a third of this number concerns former rental properties, which are no longer profitable.
Always good idea
That increased offer is therefore a wash, Raymond Mens notes at the table The Oranjezomer. “I think they are all apartments in Amsterdam that happen to be sold because it is no longer profitable and not. If you have a second or third apartment you have to pay more taxes.”
Ben van der Burg thinks it is good that those homes go to the owner -occupied market, because many people earn more with real estate than with a normal job. Tina Nijkamp says that TV authority: “Yes, but that has always been the case. Buying houses is always a good idea.”
“Are you renting out buildings?”
Host Thomas van Groningen suddenly sees another side of Tina. “There is a homeowner at the bar, yes yes, I hear it! Are you renting out buildings, Tina?”
Tina: “I’m not going to say anything about it! Hahaha.”
Ben: “So you are also a pledge boss!”
Tina laughing: “Yes, the female Bernhard Junior. No dude!”
House sold
Thomas asks through. “How many viewing figures do you have?”
Tina: “No … I just got … we had an extra house in Amsterdam and we just sold that.”
Ben thinks it is great that Tina has lost its rental home. But, Raymond notes: “Young people don’t care, because the average young people who want to live together are looking for a nice house with a garden in the Vinex neighborhood. They are not going to buy an apartment in Amsterdam for five tons?”
Fiscal rules
Raymond finds the rental laws hopeless. “They say there are extra houses, but that is because people sell those second apartments, but those young people don’t like that.”
Thomas against Tina: “Have you really sold it because of those new tax rules?”
She then: “Yes, of course.”
Thomas: “Because it became less attractive? You had less left over?”
Tina: “Yes, yes …”
