Rotterdam is a beautiful port city, but the soil beneath the city is very soft. From the historic homes in Kralingen to the new builds on Zuid: you need an appraiser who knows exactly what is happening underground. A mistake in the report could prevent you from getting a mortgage.
Soil Differences: North vs. South
Our appraiser knows the Rotterdam soil very well. In Rotterdam North, the ground consists mostly of peat, which can settle rapidly. In Rotterdam South, the ground consists mostly of clay. This pulls on the foundation piles and can cause structural damage. Our specialists use this neighborhood knowledge to calculate the true value.
The Impact of Rijnhaven and Katendrecht
The harbors around Rijnhaven are transforming into trendy residential areas. As a result, home prices in Katendrecht and Charlois are rising very rapidly. We know exactly what the municipal plans are, allowing us to highly justify the future value of your home to the bank.
Rotterdam Foundation Desk & NWWI
In 2026, the regulations for foundations have become even stricter. Does a home have a poor foundation score? Then the bank requires a specialized additional inspection. Our appraisers look up all data in advance, so you never face unpleasant surprises.
