How you know a home is still available
Responding to a home that's already gone is a terrible experience. That's why we check every home in three ways.
We strive to assist you as best as possible in your search for a home. To ensure all properties on Huurwoningen are genuinely available, we carry out strict checks. Agents and landlords are partly responsible for keeping their listings up to date, and we actively work to keep all information as accurate and current as possible. We review listings from agents and private landlords daily, as well as indexed listings from across the country.
Our three checks
Automatic checks every hour
Agents keep availability up to date in their own system. We look in there automatically, every hour. If a home has been taken down in their system, it disappears with us as well.
Manual checks
If a home has been online for more than three weeks, we contact the agent personally. Private landlords get an email asking whether the home is still available. If it isn't, the home goes offline straight away.
Community feedback
If a home is let between our checks anyway, feel free to report it to us with the 'Tell us' button on the listing page. Our quality team looks at every report personally.
Why is a let home sometimes still online?
The agent hasn't taken the home down in their system yet. Because we base our availability on that, we still see it as available.
Private landlords don't work with a system where they take homes down, but do it through our website. We can't look into that automatically, so we contact them personally. That does take a little bit more time.
Some homes are let subject to contract. This means that they'll probably be let, but it isn't final yet. Our quality team checks with the agent or landlord how far the process is, and updates our listings accordingly.
