VVE Issues

When a building is divided into apartments with multiple owners, a Homeowners’ Association (Vereniging van Eigenaars, VvE) must be established to ensure proper management of the building’s common areas. A VvE consists of a general assembly of owners (all owners collectively) and a board. Given the involvement of multiple parties, conflicts may arise within the VvE regarding issues such as the amount of VvE contributions, the board’s powers, the validity of meeting resolutions, or specific projects (e.g., sustainability initiatives). We provide legal advice on the validity of such decisions and the legal options available to the various stakeholders.

Many VvEs outsource part of their responsibilities to external (real estate) management companies. Depending on the scope of outsourcing, this can range from assistance with practical operations and administrative support to, in some cases, full delegation of the VvE’s management. However, this does not always go smoothly in practice—expectations may not be met, maintenance may be delayed, and financial oversight may weaken, especially when management is outsourced.

Ensuring a well-structured management agreement with external service providers is therefore crucial. What tasks should the VvE outsource, and what should remain in-house? Should outsourcing be comprehensive, or can it be project-based? How can clear boundaries be established for external managers? These matters require a tailored approach.

We advise VvEs on all legal considerations, helping them navigate both internal and external conflicts. Our goal is to ensure that the VvE understands its rights and obligations and can take the appropriate steps. We support VvEs in finding solid and sustainable solutions.
