Housing costs

 

 

How high are my housing costs?

Wetland Wonen provides insight into monthly costs for home seekers

To ensure affordable housing, the Housing Costs module has been added to De Woningzoeker, the website where we (Wetland Wonen) offer our properties. This module shows the monthly costs of a property based on the average energy consumption in that property and the number of people in a household. This allows people to estimate the financial consequences of renting a property before accepting it. Once logged in to their personal page on De Woningzoeker,  they can see the energy costs for each property listing. A home with an energy label D consumes more energy than a home with an energy label A. A family of five uses more energy than a two-person household. 

 

Benefits for future tenants The housing costs module contributes to the awareness of our tenants.

They can estimate in advance what renting a property will cost, including fixed costs (service and energy costs). Afterwards, they can compare this with their actual energy consumption, which can also encourage residents to use their energy more sustainably.

 

Making homes more sustainable

The housing costs module provides us with insight into which buildings have the highest energy costs. We can incorporate this information into our sustainability projects.
