WWS Points API
For retrieving the wws points of a property, usefull for the rental price of it.
Introduction
The Woningwaarderingsstelsel (WWS), or Dutch Housing Valuation System, is an essential framework used in the Netherlands to determine the maximum permissible rent for social housing based on a point system. Each rental property is assessed by various criteria including its size, energy efficiency, amenities, and location. The total living area significantly impacts the score, with larger properties receiving more points. Energy efficiency is another critical factor, where features such as double glazing, insulation, and sustainable heating solutions enhance a property’s score. Additionally, the presence of quality amenities such as private kitchens, bathrooms, and outdoor spaces also contribute to the overall points tally.
This points system ensures fairness and transparency in the rental market, protecting tenants from excessive rents while providing criteria that landlords must adhere to when setting rental prices. The WWS system is regularly updated to align with current housing market conditions and living standards, thereby reflecting the true value and quality of housing. Utilizing the WWS points API, users can easily calculate the points for any given rental property in the Netherlands, helping landlords to set appropriate rents and tenants to verify the fairness of their rental charges. This API serves as a crucial tool for anyone involved in the Dutch rental market, ensuring compliance with national housing regulations and promoting equitable housing practices.
