Property merger or division permit
Do you own a building in the Netherlands? And do you want to have your property converted into several flats, which you can then let individually? Or do you want to merge several adjacent flats into one property? You may need a permit from your municipal authorities.
Property division
If you wish to divide a property into several apartments you may require a property division permit from the municipality. The conditions differ according to municipality and are laid down in the local Housing Regulations (Huisvestingsverordening). The division into separate units must be specified in a notarial deed.
Property merger
Do you own 2 adjacent houses, or a house divided into an upper and a lower apartment, and do you want to merge these homes into 1 home? It depends on the municipality if you require a property merger permit and what the conditions are.
