In a update At the start of the new year, Heijmans writes that the demand for ground-level homes in particular remains “as high as ever”. Private individuals bought a third more houses from Heijmans. The number of purchases from investors and housing associations remained at the same level.
Despite the growth in sales, CEO Ton Hillen is in discussions with it NOS Radio 1 News are concerned about the housing market. “A number of additional measures are still needed to further smoothen the housing market,” he believes. For example, he believes that more should be done to speed up the issuance of building permits.
Objections
Also the persistent one consultation procedures are bothering Heijmans. “As a society, we object to everything. We should have some restraint with that,” says Hillen.
His company is experiencing inconvenience from environmental objections and from local residents who feel that their view is obstructed. “In all these objection procedures, the home seeker has no voice at all. Don’t just look from your perspective not in my backyardbut also from the perspective of: where do we let our children and grandchildren live?”
Cheap housing
At the same time, Heijmans is also concerned in the medium term about the continued demands to build mainly cheap homes. According to Hillen, starters are also helped if homeowners move on more often.
“One million additional homes must be added by 2030. These cannot only be cheap homes. Also give homeowners who want to start a family the opportunity to move up. Then more existing homes will become available for the young category.”
