Municipality of Utrecht takes action against sale of separate rooms
English · translation
There are problems with the sale of rooms in Utrecht. Some people sell rooms in a house separately. These rooms were previously rented out.
After a small renovation, they are sold at a high price. Many people cannot buy these rooms because banks do not provide financing for these sales. The prices are often between 100,000 and 200,000 euros.
The Municipality of Utrecht does not approve of this. They want everyone to have equal opportunities to buy a house. That is why the municipality is going to create rules to prevent this type of sale.
They want the rooms to be reunited into one house again.
