Long-term rental · Netherlands · free beta

Buy-to-let, underwritten before you bid.

Brixfox LTR reads a for-sale home the way a lender’s underwriter would: the points it scores under the Dutch rent-control system, the rent the market actually pays nearby, the tax regime you would hold it in, and the ten-year return that follows. Every figure carries its source.

The first market is the Netherlands, municipality by municipality. Short-term rental (Airbnb) analysis lives on the STR side of Brixfox.

What a home page shows

Rent-control points (WWS)

A points range per home with every input and its source (the listing, the BAG register, EP-Online or an estimate), the 143 and 186 thresholds, and the legal maximum rent at the lower bound. When one input decides the segment, usually the WOZ value, the page says “undecided” and which input decides it.

Market rent from comparables

The 25th, median and 75th percentile of rental listings nearby, with each comparable’s address, distance, size, rent per square metre and the dates it was seen and removed. The legal maximum sits beside it; below 187 points the lower of the two is the rent used. Never a national average.

Three renovation scenarios

Let as it is, refresh, or full works: cost per item, lead time, the new points and segment, the new rent, the value after works and the return. Every cost is labelled an assumption until there is a quote.

A ten-year forecast

Cash flow and equity per year under a pessimistic, base and optimistic case; box 3 as it stands for 2026, the actual-return regime announced for 2028, or a BV; a mortgage of 0, 30 or 50 percent. The headline figure is the same cell of the same table, never a separate number.

Municipality rules

Tourist tax, registration, purchase protection, letting rules, OZB and levies, each with its source and the date it was checked. These are signals about the rules, never a permission.

Sources and assumptions

One panel that lists every input behind the figures with its basis. This is the independent-underwriter promise on one screen.

How LTR differs from STR on Brixfox

Short-term rental yield on Brixfox rests on Airbnb calendars read night by night. Long-term rental yield rests on rent-control points and rental comparables, because a Dutch home’s rent is capped by its points before the market has a say.

A home gets whichever strategies have data behind them. Where Airbnb comparables exist nearby, the same page shows the short-term case as well; where they do not, it says so rather than borrowing a municipal average.

The page reads stored figures and never recomputes them. Each figure carries a model version, so what you saw when you decided is what the record shows.

What is live today

Rotterdam, Alkmaar, Hilversum and 91 more are open as a free beta: every home for sale there that passes the checks, with its rent-control points, market rent and ten-year forecast. The next Dutch municipalities follow once their rents and rules are checked. Leave your address to hear when they open.

Markets

Frequently Asked Questions

Which market comes first?

The Netherlands, municipality by municipality: Rotterdam, Alkmaar, Hilversum and 91 more are open as a free beta. The next municipality is added once its rental comparables and its rules have been verified, not on a fixed date.

Where do the rent figures come from?

From rental listings near the home, with the dates each was seen and removed, and from the legal maximum under the rent-control points. The page shows both and which one applies. It never uses a national or provincial average.

Is this tax advice?

No. The regimes are modelled as published: box 3 for 2026, the actual-return regime announced for 2028, and holding through a BV. Check your own position with an adviser.

Can I see the short-term rental case for the same home?

Only where Airbnb comparables exist nearby. Most Dutch homes outside holiday areas have none, and the page says so instead of estimating.

Which languages?

English and Dutch: this page, the Netherlands landing, every open municipality and every home page have a Dutch twin.
