No more commercial real estate at Schiedam notary; now at MAES notaries

We are happy to assist you

Our esteemed colleague, Mr. JJC Krabbendam, of Van der Valk Netwerk Notarissen in Schiedam, has made the well-considered strategic decision to discontinue his office's commercial real estate services as of January 1, 2025. We understand the considerations and respect his decision.

He's already referred several clients to us, and several other professionals have also contacted us spontaneously. We remain committed to this real estate practice and are happy to assist you.

We understand the real estate cycle like no other, from initiative and design phase to realization and operation. We know the players in the real estate market and guide them all: investors, developers, end users, asset managers, construction companies, financiers, architects, engineers, real estate agents, and other advisors. We know the players and the actors. We can create a DCF or calculate a residual land value. We are familiar with tendering, the Environment Act, and zoning plans. We can draft contracts for all phases of the cycle. We have access to a database with more than 50,000 national and international titles on research results related to real estate markets. For what it's worth, we have previously received positive mentions in our personal capacity from Legal500, Chambers & Partners, Advocatie, and PropertyNL, and have published articles in the Financieel Dagblad on topics such as: leasehold, monuments and taxation, real estate auctions, structures to avoid transfer tax, and the Nature Conservation Act.

Quality and integrity

The real estate market has gotten its hands dirty. Construction fraud, real estate fraud, and the many unsavory affairs within the housing association sector have not done the sector any good. The sector remains susceptible to fraud; it is a capital-intensive and opaque industry with free entry and exit of participants. But fortunately, the wheat is being separated from the chaff. Industry organizations such as NVB, AEDES, Bouwend Nederland, IVBN, VGM, NVM, Creme, ROZ, StiVAD, Corenet, NeVap, NVR, RICS, NRVT, Vereniging van Grondbedrijven (Association of Land Companies), FIDIC, NL-ingenieurs, Vastgoedcertificaat, UNETO-VNI, Dutch Green Building, ULI, Platform 31, Vogon, Breeam, NRW, Vastgoedbelang, EPRA, Redex, and others support their members in safeguarding quality and integrity. So there are many reputable parties in the sector, with whom we enjoy working well. And thankfully so.
