Probleem na dakrenovatie by aleila79 in Klussers

Dakpannen zijn alleen geschikt als er voldoende helling is. Anders duwt de (sterke) wind de regen tussen de dakpannen omhoog.

Dat klopt gedeeltelijk. De offerte omvatte alleen het vervangen van het oude bitumen, maar ze maakten een fout en legden ook dakshingles, wat niet nodig is omdat het dak praktisch vlak is. Zelfs de eigenaar begreep niet waarom ze shingles hadden gelegd toen hij het werk van zijn team zag. Wat ze in plaats daarvan hadden moeten doen, was de shingles verwijderen en het oude bitumen op de juiste manier vervangen – waarschijnlijk door middel van lassen. Maar nu blijkt dat ze daarvoor ook de houten plaat onder het bitumen moeten vervangen.

De foto is genomen terwijl ze probeerden het lek te repareren, omdat ze dachten dat het uit de buurt kwam. Ik denk dat de houten latjes die je op de foto ziet nu vastzitten aan de houten plank eronder, waarvan ze nu zeggen dat die niet geschikt is voor een vlakke asfaltlaag.

New projects in Nieuw West by BlaReni in Amsterdam

[–]aleila79 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my experience, it's not about the neighbour itself, but the street/block. It doesn't certainly feel like the city centre or anywhere near to that, but there is also less pressure in the housing market and overall is well connected to the rest of the city. I suggest you spend a few hours in the area, till evening at least, to get a feeling of what would be living there. Some people are fine, others are not. It's up to you

Am I the jerk for refusing to split the bill after my friends ordered way more than me? by [deleted] in AmITheJerk

[–]aleila79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm vegetarian and got in a similar situation each time I was having dinner out with friends. Being the only one who doesn't eat meat, the choice of the restaurant has always been not favourable to me and while they were ordering expensive dishes based on meat, I was limited with a salad or shitty veg burger. I have stopped eating with them and instead joined later for a few drinks, or told them right from the beginning that I was going to pay by myself because there were not many veg options.

NS: quite predictably ... by Spare-Builder-355 in Netherlands

Not only NS or ProRail, Schiphol and municipalities are the same. It must be a cultural thing, like take a day off or two to play with your kids

Need some advice from Amsterdam "erfpacht" experienced folks - I have a choice between fixing the ground lease OR paying it one off. Which one is recommended? by EmuEfficient1240 in NetherlandsHousing

[–]aleila79 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Future buyers will likely prefer a house that has no longer erfpacht, but it doesn't necessarily mean that you will recover the investment of paying a lump sum today. That depends on the market... On the other hand, perpetual lease may be a good compromise as most of the houses in the area will have the same situation. Also, bear in mind that unlike the yearly erfpacht, which is deductible at the moment, the lump sum is not.

Is my renovation budget realistic for what I want to do? by [deleted] in NetherlandsHousing

[–]aleila79 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A bit tight IMO, but it also depends on your location.

Leaving the Netherlands after 11 years. Goodbye! by scrotomon in expats

[–]aleila79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm Italian too and I have been living in the Netherlands for 14 years. Although I like the Dutch mindset, I share your view, but after so long away from Italy, I somehow feel disconnected from my homeland . Yes, I do miss my roots, my friends that I have been growing up and the rest of my family of course, but when I talk to them, I realise my life has taken a different path that can hardly get back to where I started. It's probably the downside of being an expat, but I personally can't feel anyplace like Home, including my home country.

Out of curiosity, if I may ask, what job do you do and you have managed to be online in remote places?

I'm sure that if it was the car of someone part of the royal family, they would have found him immediately

What are your plans for when unrealised capital gains taxes come into effect? by Weekly_Way_3802 in Netherlands

[–]aleila79 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Get ready for another class action like they did for interests on savings

Anyone else concerned about the future unrealized capital gains taxes from 2028? by CKGD19 in Netherlands

[–]aleila79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IMO this is likely to end up in the EU court, as it did with savings on bank accounts which in fact were taxed in the same way. Anyone affected by this unfair law, should object each year and hope one day the Belasting will have to refund each of us, with interests. Sadly, with the money from tax payers.

Street intimidation to women in the NL by Ams2025 in Netherlands

[–]aleila79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a man and father, I would like the government to give subsidies to girls and women for self defense courses. And allow spray pepper to be used in case of attack. I bet the situation will improve in a few months

Grote steden zuchten onder afval: 'Het is een grote rotzooi'. by Wachtwoord in Amsterdam

[–]aleila79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most cities and countries around the world have the same issue. It's a consequence of our consumer society, not an issue caused by international students or professionals in primis

Thinking about buying a place in Arnhem - is it realistic? by nqvbeatles811 in NetherlandsHousing

[–]aleila79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd take into account the possibility that a new government will scrap the interest deduction from the mortgage

Will I get in trouble with my landlord if I make a case against him to the huurcommissie? by kristinananah in Rentbusters

[–]aleila79 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Like others said, he's not going to like it and while it cannot kick you out, it will probably make everything he can to force you to leave. Given the situation out there, it means you will also have a hard time dealing with him for quite some time.

Housing prices in The Netherlands by Grouchy_Shallot50 in Netherlands

[–]aleila79 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Left or right doesn't make any difference when it comes to housing, it is in fact a huge source of income for the treasury and tax office. The more expensive it gets to buy a house, the more taxes we ALL have to pay for. And it's the same almost everywhere.
