In de huidige woningmarkt is snelheid en voorbereiding essentieel. Of je nu voor het eerst gaat huren of al ervaring hebt: goed voorbereid zijn maakt het verschil. EĆ©n van de belangrijkste stappen in het huurproces is het op tijd verzamelen van de documentatie. Maar waarom is dit zo belangrijk? TNG Real Estate legt het uit.

1. A complete profile makes all the difference

When you share your documentation as a prospective tenant, you give a letting party instant insight into who you are. Think of identification, income details and any guarantors. With this information, the landlord can:

  • Verify that you are actually who you say you are;

  • Assess your financial ability to bear the rent (and other costs);

  • Making an informed decision when selecting tenants.

Especially in a tight housing market, where there are often multiple applicants, this is crucial.

2. Brokers increasingly ask for a profile in advance

Because of bustle in the housing market many estate agents ask for a profile of potential tenants in advance. This profile includes basic information such as:

  • Family composition;

  • A brief introduction of the tenant(s);

  • Financial situation.

Please note that this profile does not contain any official documents, but it helps the letting party to quickly determine whether a candidate is eligible for a property.

3. Realistic search based on your situation

When your documentation is complete, a rental agent can make a good estimate in advance of what is feasible within your budget and wishes. This way, you avoid disappointment during your property search. If necessary, you can be advised to arrange a guarantor, for example.

4. Being able to move quickly in case of interest

The housing market is fast-paced and competitive. You often have to respond to an available property within a short time. Have you already gathered your documents? Then you can make an offer immediately.

What is a proposal?

A proposal implies that you present your documentation in combination with the rental conditions (rental price, deposit, starting date and any additional conditions) towards the letting party. This way, you present yourself as a prospective tenant, show that you are serious and offer the conditions under which you want to rent the property.

5. Avoid delays and stress

Some documents need to be requested from third parties, such as your employer, bank or guarantor. If you only do this when you want to rent a property, you run the risk of delays. By arranging this on time, you avoid frustration and increase your chances of success.

At TNG Real Estate, we see the difference every day between candidates who are prepared and those who are not. By gathering your documentation in a timely manner:

  • Make a stronger impression on landlords;

  • Can you move faster on interesting properties;
