Energy label in Cabauw

Cabauw: old ribbon with a surprisingly young tail

Cabauw is a ribbon village in the Lopikerwaard, municipality of Lopik, grown along the Cabauwsekade and the watercourse. The Dutch address and buildings register counts some four hundred homes: more than a fifth pre-war, more than a quarter post-war, and, striking for such a ribbon, more than a fifth built after 2006. The median construction year is 1976.

Label surveys here therefore vary widely: from farmhouses where the renovation file decides everything to young homes whose completion label has only just expired or not quite yet.

When selling or renting out, a registered energy label is required; without one you risk €515 as a private individual and €1,030 as a legal entity. The label is valid for ten years from the survey date, and a favourable class can earn a rate discount on a mortgage application.

Note: your address is registered as Lopik

Cabauw is not an official town in the register. In the Dutch address and buildings register the Cabauw addresses fall under Lopik, so that name appears in the price calculator and later on your label. That is no error but the official registration.

We have separate pages for the village core of Lopik, with its much younger housing stock, and for Lopikerkapel.

How to request an energy label in Cabauw

You arrange an official energy label with us in three steps:

1. Quote and appointment - calculate your price with the calculator or call us, and schedule the survey at a time that suits you.
2. Property survey - our BRL 9500 certified advisor assesses insulation, glazing and installations following the NTA 8800 method.
3. Registration in EP-online - you usually receive the definitive label within a few working days. In a hurry? Express delivery within 24 hours is possible.

A label based on the construction year alone no longer exists: the provisional energy label lapsed on 1 January 2021 and registration has since required an on-site survey.

Energy label per property type in Cabauw

The proportions come from the Dutch address and buildings register. Indicative; what has been improved per home determines the outcome.

How the property survey works

Allow 60 to 90 minutes. The BRL 9500 certified advisor records:

• Which surfaces border the outside, the crawl space or an unheated room
• How well roof, walls, floor and glazing insulate
• Which boiler or heat pump is installed, and how hot water is produced
• How the home is ventilated, and whether there are solar panels

What the glazing quote shows is the U-value of the glass, not of the window. In the label calculation the frame weighs in and the value shifts slightly. If you know the frame material and glass type, pass them on: the advisor then calculates exactly.

Which documents should you have ready for the survey?

On a ribbon with such a mixed stock, the most useful evidence differs per home:

• Farmhouse or pre-war building: the renovation file with invoices for roof, floor and wall insulation.
• Post-war home: the invoice for the cavity fill and the glass specification.
• Young home: the completion documentation and details of solar panels.
• Always: make, type and year of the boiler or heat pump.

Without evidence the defaults for the construction year apply; for the oldest ribbon buildings those are the lowest assumptions.

First check whether a valid label already exists

A label from the past ten years, counted from the survey date, is still perfectly usable; EP-online shows it per address. Exceptions to the obligation are scarce these days: temporary buildings fall outside it, but listed buildings no longer do since 29 May 2026.

Energy label prices in Cabauw

Below you see per property type where the price starts. VAT, the on-site survey and the official EP-online registration are always included; the usable floor area does the rest. Background to the rates is in the 2026 price overview.

Nothing else is added: no travel costs and no surcharges, and you pay after delivery of the label. Farmhouses on the kade and buildings over 150 m²: fixed tailored price, known in advance.

Renting out in Cabauw: first the points, then the price

Up to and including 186 points the housing valuation system has prescribed the maximum rent since 1 July 2024, with 143 points as the line between social and mid-market rent. Because the energy label weighs heavily, one class of difference can shift the permitted rent noticeably. A rental points count can be combined with the label survey.

Certified work, without intermediaries

We work under BRL 9500, with InstallQ recognition and listing in the Centraal Register Techniek; only such a company may register labels in EP-online. And because the advisor who visits also registers the label personally, nobody stands between you and the result.
