How does a building inspection work?
Making an appointment
A building inspection begins with an appointment. Our partner will come by at your convenience.
The inspection
The specialist inspects your home from head to toe. Every nook and cranny is looked at. That way you know exactly what's going on.
The report
After the inspection, you will receive a clear report. In it you will find the defects found, including photos and a cost indication for solving these problems.
Your security
With the report in hand, you know exactly where you stand. No hidden defects, no unexpected costs. Just certainty. That's homeup.

Very nice contact with Sake as the selling party's broker! Approachable and quick communication and always enthusiastic & friendly. He was available for all tips and questions I had as a starter. Fine first experience in the housing market!
Just top!
Incredibly happy with Billy, helped us very well and was available for all questions!
Sake was just fantastic. As an expat buying a house in Amsterdam, it was a world we didn't fully understand. Sake helped us every step of the purchase process, making it an easy and relaxing experience. I will definitely use Sake again for his services.
Sake from Homeup helped me in a way that far exceeded my expectations. Thanks to his quick, clear and personal approach, I found my first home in no time, something I probably wouldn't have succeeded without Homeup. He understood exactly what I was looking for and was always there for me, even during his vacation! The guidance through the whole process was top notch: clear, smooth and without fuss. As a starter I really felt heard and helped. I recommend Homeup to anyone looking for a real estate agent who really thinks with you and fights for you!
I worked with Sake on the purchase of my first apartment here in Almere. I think it was a tremendously effortless process for me because everything was so well taken care of. Sake is a great real estate agent and can highly recommend him, especially to new buyers.
Very nicely helped by Sake in our search! He switches super fast with the right parties and takes a lot out of our hands. Because of his expertise we never worried for a moment and are enjoying our new home!
I had a fantastic experience with Sake as my real estate agent. The whole process was incredibly smooth and stress free. They helped me find the perfect home in a very short time and were extremely professional, reliable and helpful throughout the process. Their expertise and guidance made buying a home so much easier. I am immensely grateful for their help and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a dedicated and competent real estate agent!
Highly recommended. I used their services to assist me in purchasing a home. Their quick response, attention to detail and availability made all the difference in my bid and purchase of my home. My realtor was Sake, a fantastic realtor, super efficient and always willing to discuss any concerns and offer his own opinion.
