Then consider purchasing one (or more) properties for rental. You can achieve an attractive gross return of over 9%.

Facilities

Each XLBox Nederland garage box complex features an XLBox Business Lounge where you can use flexible workstations free of charge.

At XLBox Zoetermeer, you can rent modern, renovated office rooms if you desire more privacy than the flexible workstations offer.

That’s correct. Each garage box, business unit, and camper storage unit receives a separate house number and its own mailbox. If you wish, you may register your business at that address.

High-speed fiber-optic Wi-Fi is available throughout the entire garage box complex. Whether you are using the garage boxes, business units, RV storage, or the flexible workspaces in the XLBox Business Lounge, you can enjoy free Wi-Fi everywhere at XLBox Nederland.

The garage box complexes are built to be energy-neutral. This is achieved in part by the dozens of solar panels installed on the roof.

XLBox Nederland is accessible 24/7, and you always have access with your own personal keytag.

Costs & Tax Matters

You are liable for annual WOZ tax on all your real estate, including your unit (garage box, business unit, or RV storage).
This is a percentage of the WOZ value determined by the municipality. The WOZ tax on commercial properties is split into an owner’s portion and a user’s portion. The user’s portion is passed on to the tenant if you choose to rent out the unit. These amounts vary by municipality. You should expect approximately:
Owner’s portion: €75, user’s portion: €75 per year.
You can report the ownership of a unit on your income tax return, similar to how you report owning your own home. You then pay 1.2% tax on the WOZ value of the unit. This is a wealth tax.
You will receive the invoice for WOZ tax separately from your own income tax return. You do not need to take any action for this. The municipality receives the information from the Land Registry, where the apartment right for the unit is registered.

An HOA (Homeowners Association) will be established in which all owners hold a share.
All owners pay a one-time fee of €100 for the establishment of the HOA. The monthly HOA fees are:

  • up to 25 m2: owner €7.50, user/tenant €12.50
  • from 26 m2: owner €12.50, user/tenant €17.50

These fees cover, among other things: building insurance, cleaning costs, maintenance, and alarm system monitoring.

You do not need to obtain building insurance; this is already included in the Owners’ Association (VvE) fees.
Contents insurance for the items within the box is your responsibility if you use the unit yourself. If you rent out the unit, the tenant must arrange this.

The use of the flex workspaces in the XLBox Business Lounge is free of charge if you rent or purchase a garage box, business unit, or RV storage.

Invest

Certainly, when purchasing multiple units, you will also benefit from an additional discount.

Yes, your unit is fully owned and registered in the land registry. You are therefore free to sell or lease it.

With full occupancy, a gross return of approximately 9% is achievable. On average, a net return of 7.5% remains when you outsource management to XLBox Nederland.
