What Ad Hoc does

Ad Hoc is a privately held Dutch vacancy management company (leegstandbeheer) founded in November 1990 and headquartered in Den Haag. The company manages temporarily vacant real estate on behalf of property owners — including municipalities, housing corporations, healthcare estate owners, and commercial landlords — by placing short-term occupants (residents under anti-squat loan-for-use agreements or temporary rental contracts, and entrepreneurs in workspaces) to prevent squatting, vandalism, copper theft, and asset value erosion. It operates through ten regional offices that provide national coverage across the Netherlands, with a workforce described as "100+ proud employees."

The product portfolio is built around three service lines: Antikraak (loan-for-use occupancy at €205–€300/month), Tijdelijke Verhuur (temporary rental under the Leegstandwet at €450–€613+/month), and Tijdelijke Werkruimte (workspaces from €200/month). Supporting these is the proprietary "Mijn Ad Hoc" customer portal for self-service contract management, a CRM-backed digital intake and registration workflow with mandatory MyQii identity verification, and the "Ad Hoc Samen" community/social cohesion program. Property owners receive vacancy management free of charge; revenue is generated almost entirely from monthly fees, deposits, and registration fees paid by occupants.

Ad Hoc's go-to-market is a hybrid sales-led and community-led model: direct enterprise sales to property owners via the regional office network, supplemented by self-service digital acquisition of occupants through the website, social channels (LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok), and a referral system (voordrachtsysteem) for antikraak applicants. The company self-describes as "the undisputed market leader" in Dutch vacancy management with over 100,000 bruikleenovereenkomsten signed historically, and holds KLB (Keurmerk Leegstandbeheer), VCA, and VLBN industry certifications.

Revenue model

1. Vacancy Management Services to Property Owners: Ad Hoc charges property owners for managing their vacant real estate. The service is provided free of charge to property owners. Revenue is generated from the temporary occupants (residents and entrepreneurs) who pay monthly compensation (antikraak) or rent (tijdelijke verhuur).
2. Bruikleenovereenkomst (Loan-for-Use Agreement) - Antikraak: Temporary residents pay a monthly compensation (maandvergoeding) to occupy vacant properties on a loan-for-use basis. No rent or tenancy rights are established. Compensation ranges from approximately €205 to €300 per month depending on the property.
3. Tijdelijke Verhuur (Temporary Rental): Temporary renters pay monthly rent based on a vacancy permit (leegstandverguining). Rent is higher than antikraak compensation, typically ranging from €450 to €613 per month, plus service costs. A minimum contract duration of 6 months applies.
4. Workplace/Enterprise Space Rental: Entrepreneurs and businesses rent temporary workspaces (kantoorruimte, werkruimte, atelierruimte) on a flexible basis. Monthly costs range from €200 to €400+ including utilities, with a 28-day cancellation period.
5. One-time Fees (Registration and Deposit): One-time charges include registration fee (€25-€30), security deposit (€300 for antikraak, 1.5x monthly rent for temporary rental), and brand prevention package. Additional costs include first month compensation/rent.

Broad incumbents

• MVGM: MVGM is one of the largest Dutch property management and real estate services firms, managing residential, commercial, and mixed-use portfolios. While not a vacancy-management specialist, it competes for institutional property-owner relationships and offers overlapping tenant-placement and management services.
• IWG (Regus / Spaces): IWG operates flexible workspace brands including Regus and Spaces across the Netherlands, overlapping with Ad Hoc's tijdelijke werkruimte offering. While IWG targets traditional, higher-priced flexible offices, it competes for the same entrepreneur and SME tenants seeking flexible contracts.
• Cushman & Wakefield Netherlands: Cushman & Wakefield is a global commercial real estate services firm with a Dutch presence offering brokerage, property management, and valuation. It is comparable to Ad Hoc as a broad incumbent serving institutional property owners, though focused on commercial rather than vacant-residential stock.

Others

• Stadgenoot: Stadgenoot is a Dutch housing corporation that frequently uses vacancy management for redevelopment stock. While not a competitor, it is a structurally important institutional client archetype — comparable to Ad Hoc's housing-corporation customers such as Hof Wonen and Wonen Limburg.

Direct peers

• BTV (Beveiliging & Toezicht Nederland): BTV provides vacant property security and toezicht (surveillance) services in the Netherlands, overlapping with Ad Hoc's Ad Hoc Toezicht & Security division and broader leegstandbeheer offering for property owners seeking protection against squatting and vandalism.
• Camelot Europe: Camelot Europe is one of the largest Dutch and pan-European vacancy management and anti-squat operators, directly competing with Ad Hoc on leegstandbeheer, antikraak, temporary rental, and security services for property owners. It is the most directly comparable operator in the same niche across the Netherlands.
• Vrijborg Vastgoed: Vrijborg is a Dutch vacancy management specialist offering antikraak and tijdelijke verhuur services across the Netherlands. It targets the same property-owner and occupant segments as Ad Hoc and competes on portfolio scale, brand, and pricing.
• New Day at Work: New Day at Work is a Dutch provider of temporary workspace and antikraak solutions in vacant commercial and residential properties, overlapping with Ad Hoc's tijdelijke werkruimte (temporary workspace) and antikraak products for both property owners and occupants.

Regional players

• Nivop Beheer: Nivop Beheer is a Dutch vacancy and property management operator serving specific regional markets. It overlaps with Ad Hoc on antikraak and tijdelijke verhuur, but typically does not match Ad Hoc's nationwide 10-office footprint.

Emerging players

• StayInn (Kracht Recruitment) / Short-stay operators: StayInn and similar short-stay/temporary-housing platforms target the same Dutch demand for flexible housing among young professionals and housing-seekers. They are not direct vacancy managers but compete with Ad Hoc's tijdelijke verhuur for occupant demand.
