The Bleiswijk housing market and the energy label
Bleiswijk, part of the Lansingerland municipality, combines an old village centre around the Dorpsstraat with post-war extensions and more recent new builds. Around the village lies an extensive greenhouse horticulture area with ribbons of detached and company homes. The expected energy label strongly depends on the construction period. A valid, EP-online registered energy label is mandatory when selling or renting out.
Bleiswijk is about 40 minutes from our home base in Woerden. We include it in our route through the region and charge no call-out costs.
Which obligations apply when selling or renting out?
The label obligation starts earlier than many sellers expect: the energy label belongs in the listing, not just on the day of transfer. At the notary it must also be registered in EP-online. If you rent out a home in Bleiswijk, the label partly determines your score in the WWS points count.
That makes the label more than a formality: a favourable class removes buyers' doubts about future insulation costs.
How to request an energy label in Bleiswijk
You arrange an official energy label with us in three steps:
- Quote and appointment - calculate your price with the calculator or call us. We schedule the home inspection at a time that suits you.
- Home inspection - our BRL 9500 certified advisor visits (on average 60-90 minutes) and measures insulation, glazing, heating, ventilation and any solar panels using the NTA 8800 method.
- Registration in EP-online - your official energy label is registered in EP-online. You usually receive it within a few working days; if you are in a hurry, express delivery within 24 hours is possible.
Energy label by neighbourhood in Bleiswijk
The construction period largely determines which energy label to expect. The overview below is an indication; the final result depends on the specific home and any insulation already installed.
| Neighbourhood | Typical housing | Expected label |
|---|---|---|
| Village centre (around the Dorpsstraat) | Pre-war village homes | D - G |
| Extensions from the 1960s - 1970s | Terraced and semi-detached houses | C - D |
| Extensions from the 1980s - 1990s | Family homes | B - C |
| Recent new builds | Homes from 2000 onwards | A - B |
| Ribbons in the greenhouse area | Detached and company homes | D - G |
A home on a ribbon in the greenhouse area?
Around Bleiswijk lie ribbons with detached homes and homes at (former) horticulture businesses. These houses are often older and more spacious, with varying insulation: without improvements such a home typically scores between D and G. Do you have invoices for roof, wall or floor insulation, HR++ glazing or solar panels? Have them ready for the survey: with proof the advisor may use the actual values, which can make one or more label classes of difference. For detached homes above 150 m² the price is on request.
Which documents should you have ready for the survey?
Around Bleiswijk you find ribbons of detached houses and homes attached to former horticultural businesses. Those properties are often older and larger, with widely varying insulation, and that is exactly where evidence makes the difference.
- A copy of the construction drawing or floor plan, if you have one.
- Invoices for roof, wall or floor insulation and for HR++ glazing.
- Details of the boiler or heat pump, such as year of manufacture and type.
- Information about solar panels, including the number and the capacity.
With evidence the advisor may calculate with the actual values, which can be worth one or more label classes. Without it, the default Rc value for the construction year applies.
What our advisor measures during the inspection
The property inspection takes on average 60 to 90 minutes. Our BRL 9500-certified advisor records, among other things:
- All surfaces bordering the outside, crawl space, unheated rooms or water
- The insulation values of roof, facade, floor and glazing (U-values)
- The heating installation and hot-water system (boiler, heat pump)
- Ventilation and any solar panels
The calculation follows the NTA 8800 standard. Especially the older ribbon homes and more spacious detached houses around Bleiswijk require an experienced eye during the survey.
Energy label prices in Bleiswijk
All prices include VAT, the property survey and official registration in EP-online. An apartment or smaller home in the village starts from €220; for a family home in the extension districts or a detached house on a ribbon the price depends on type and floor area. See also our 2026 price overview per property type.
| Property type | From (incl. VAT) |
|---|---|
| Studio / room apartment | € 220 |
| Apartment | € 275 |
| Maisonette / terraced house | € 330 |
| End-terrace or semi-detached house | € 340 |
| Detached house | € 375 |
Every rate includes VAT, the property inspection and official registration in EP-online, and we charge no call-out or travel costs. Detached houses over 150 m² and special properties are quoted on request.
Renting out in Bleiswijk? The label counts towards your rental points
If you rent out a home, the energy label counts towards the WWS points count that sets the maximum rent under the Affordable Rent Act. A higher label yields more points. Since 1 July 2024 the housing valuation system is binding for all rental homes up to and including 186 points: up to 143 points social housing, 144 to 186 points mid-market rent. From 187 points the home falls in the free sector, where no legal maximum applies.
That makes the label directly relevant financially for landlords in the newer parts of Bleiswijk: one class higher can be the difference between mid-market and free sector. A full rental points count is a separate service, priced on request; have it done together with the energy label and we survey the property in one visit, which works out cheaper.
How do you compare energy advisors in and around Bleiswijk?
Not every advisor works the same way. When comparing, look at certification (BRL 9500), response time and whether call-out costs are charged. Some companies work through a call centre with changing advisors; at Hollands Duurzaam one fixed advisor surveys the property personally and handles the registration too. Only a certified advisor may issue an official label registered in EP-online, and a physical on-site survey is legally required.
Commercial buildings also need an energy label when sold or rented out, although partly different calculation rules apply there. We handle the residential side ourselves; for a non-residential label we refer you to a fellow advisor certified for that. Not sure whether your property counts as residential or non-residential? Give us a call and we will work it out together.
