Municipalities

Municipalities have independent decision-making power over many matters, such as building a theater, constructing a bicycle path, or constructing housing. Making these decisions is the primary task of the municipal government. In addition, municipalities also implement many national laws. Municipalities draw up zoning plans, which specify which areas are designated for residential use, which areas are designated for nature, and which areas are designated for business. The municipality is guided by the Environment and Planning Act. With these plans, it strives to achieve and maintain a safe and healthy physical environment and good environmental quality. Municipalities oversee housing construction and make agreements with housing associations regarding these matters.

Housing associations

Housing associations build, rent, and manage affordable housing. Ideally, net-zero energy if it's at all affordable. However, they often also perform other (commercial) activities. The Housing Act stipulates that housing associations must separate these commercial and social activities. According to the Housing Act 2015, they must focus on building, renting, and managing social housing, as well as several other social tasks. The Housing Act 2015 calls these services of general economic interest (SGEI). SGEI activities include: the construction, rental, and management of social housing, management of social real estate, and investing in livability. Non-SGEI activities include the development of rental housing in the private sector (deregulated), owner-occupied housing, and commercial real estate. Strict requirements apply to non-SGEI activities. Housing associations may only undertake commercial activities under strict conditions. We can support housing associations with many of their strategic and operational issues, such as deliveries, division into condominium rights, and the establishment of limited rights and financing. This allows them to work hard to improve livability and sustainability. To advocate for the abolition of the landlord levy imposed on them. To ensure they can provide sufficient, affordable, high-quality housing in a pleasant living environment. And to offer their tenants a comfortable home.

Water boards

The Netherlands, land of water. Our office is located on the water. We understand the importance of water management. A water board, also known as a high-water board, is responsible for water management in a specific area. It ensures, for example, that we have sufficient and clean water. And it protects us from overwatering, so we don't get wet feet. They are responsible for flood defenses and waterways and waterways. Water boards do not receive government funding for their duties. They levy their own taxes. Each household is assessed the same amount per living space. Owners of agricultural land and nature reserves pay based on the surface area of their property, and owners of homes and businesses pay based on the municipal WOZ value. In addition, all residents are assessed a water purification levy. This tax is primarily intended to keep surface water clean and to operate wastewater treatment plants. The legal framework primarily concerns water management law and water board law. We advise water boards on land acquisition and expropriation, limited rights (such as leasehold, building rights, easements, chain clauses, qualitative rights and obligations), and toleration obligations (Private Law Obstructions Act, Water Act). We do this independently or in collaboration with third parties.

Cable, pipeline and network owners, telecommunications and energy companies

Cables and pipelines are immovable. This means that a notarial deed is required for the transfer and encumbrance of cables and pipelines, for example, with a mortgage. This is only possible once the network is registered in the land registry. To be registered, the company must demonstrate that it is the authorized installer. We can assist cable and pipeline owners, telecommunications, and energy companies in gathering evidence for the route so that the right of installation can be demonstrated.

Healthcare institutions

A sophisticated real estate strategy is vital for healthcare institutions. After all, they must fund their expenses with their own income from the care they provide. They are therefore responsible for financing and operating their healthcare real estate. This leads to the purchase and sale of healthcare real estate, the development of new residential care concepts, the transformation of healthcare real estate, leasehold structures, and tenders. To diversify risks and focus on their care mission, healthcare institutions seek collaboration with housing corporations, developers, users, and investors. We can assist healthcare institutions and market players with establishing partnerships, managing their real estate, managing partnerships, and allocating risk and returns.
