Can I finance a renovation when buying a fixer-upper?

Yes, when buying a home that needs work you can often include the renovation in your mortgage, based on the home’s expected value after the improvements (waarde na verbouwing). A valuation report (taxatierapport) stating the post-renovation value and a building depot (bouwdepot) are normally used to make this possible. This lets you buy and upgrade an older property in one financing.
