Know what you let, before you advertise

A good photo, a clear floor plan and a sharp rent. With that, the listing is ready. But more and more often, a prospective tenant's first question is not about the square metres. It is about the internet: is there fibre, how fast is it, and does the Wi-Fi work everywhere?

Do you not know the exact answer? Then the prospective tenant will look into it themselves, or look elsewhere. Every week of vacancy costs money.

Three questions you want answered before you advertise

1. Which digital level does your building offer?
Which connection enters the building, what is the cabling like and is there a good technical room? With an estimated IT delivery level, you can explain this in one sentence.

2. Which questions will prospective tenants ask?
How fast is the internet? What do you provide, and what must the tenant arrange themselves? If you know this in advance, you can give a clear answer straight away. That builds trust and shortens the negotiation.

3. What is needed for a higher level?
Sometimes a small change is enough, such as new Wi-Fi or a tidy patch cabinet. The report shows where the gains are. That way, you spend your budget on what tenants really notice.

What you get

With an IT-Label pre-inspection, a Certified Partner visits the site. The partner checks the building: the connection, the cabling, the technical rooms, the Wi-Fi and the building systems. This usually takes no longer than half a day.

You then receive a report with an estimated delivery level, the strengths and the points for attention. You can share it with your broker and with prospective tenants.

The next step: the IT-Label

Would you like to show the level of your building officially? Then the IT-Label certification is the next step. The partner uses the findings of the pre-inspection to define the scope of the audit. With an IT-Label in the listing, a prospective tenant sees at a glance what to expect.

A pre-inspection is available from €750 excl. VAT per location. This can be for the whole building, but also for one floor or unit. You can read more about the IT-Label for owners on the Property owners page. Would you like to get an impression yourself first? Take the free IT-Label Self-Scan.

Frequently asked questions

When should I, as a landlord, have a pre-inspection carried out?

Before you put the building or a rentable unit on the market, or when a tenant leaves. Then you still have time to improve things before prospective tenants come to view.

What does a pre-inspection cost?

An IT-Label pre-inspection is available from €750 excl. VAT per location. This includes the site visit and the report.

Can I show the report to prospective tenants?

Yes, you can. The report does give an indication, not an official label. Would you like a label that you can use in the listing? Then choose the IT-Label certification.
