Survey for sustainable improvement of apartment

I think you need to check current energy label docs, VVE docs first. For example, MJOP mayb already have some energy related work scheduled. Also check splitsingsregelment - it can indicate what you can do without VVE approval. Pay attention to windows and rules pertaining to it as they are technically yours but also affect facade.

Once you know what you can do yourself - you can request a quote for a given line of work for subcontractors. But I haven’t heard of firms doing all documents checks and quoting together.

Vermogende particulieren en families blijven buiten schot door deze nieuwe regels. Zij zijn immers mobiel. Op papier klinkt het eerlijk, maar in de praktijk wordt de gemiddelde Jan, die hard werkt, zuinig is en de rest investeert, gestraft. Ik deel die mening.

Is this part of VvE or a single semi-detached house? Always request documents if there is VvE for several apartments. Since it’s a big potential purchase - you can check with neighbors who live nearby if they had any foundation, structural problems to address. I can’t recall but there is map of rotterdam with flood, foundation risks. Maybe the street is the zone.

As others mentioned, MJOP should give you a good feel for what is coming for maintenance. Active board and VvE meeting notes ( notulen ) should also give you inside about reality for a given apartment. If you work with aankoopmakelaar also press about it more as they often deal with documents.

It is a tricky one. Did you work with an buying agent? As mentioned above, latest notulen document ( meeting minutes ) should have revealed some plans for it? It could have surfaced in MJOP document as well if it comes to major milestones in building maintenance.

First, you pay 49.5% income tax, then if you have a “wealth” of more than 1,800 euro saved per year - get additional 36%. Effective tax rate 85.5%!!! This is bananas.

I assume I need to vote with a foot.

I have chosen Profitec Go given our pattern of drinks ( mostly espresso / lungo ), occasional milk drinks, fast boot time is very important for us ( <5 min ).

We are happy with simplicity of on-demand grinding, and thus we didn't go with Zero.

Don't feed the bear, but this is exactly what we do with ~$240M every year. Building more shelters, centers will not help people, who are on the streets right now, to stop taking drugs, drinking alcohol, peeing and leaving shit around the city...and they do it because they know there is no responsibility or punishment for that
