What is a building inspection and how does it work?
A building inspection is not hocus pocus. It is a thorough inspection of your home by a specialist. From foundation to roof, everything is looked at. This gives you a clear picture of the condition of your home. Read all about how it works in this article.
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.

More stories of first-time buyers who thought it was impossible to buy a home
We were fortunate to meet Sake during our home search.
From day one, he was very helpful, answered all our questions (and we had many!), and communicated clearly with us.
Their service was excellent, from searching for a house to signing the contract, he assisted us the entire time. Once we found our dream home, he took the initiative to negotiate the price, which was crucial in our process. Without him, we probably wouldn't have had the house we loved so much.
Their knowledge of the Dutch real estate market is impressive, which was essential for us expats. He reviewed all the documents and answered all our questions. This made us feel very comfortable during the whole process.
We felt guided and supported throughout the entire process and would highly recommend his services to anyone who wants to realize their dream of buying a home in the Netherlands!
Thank you to Sake for helping us find our apartment. His market knowledge and patience allowed us to go through the process with confidence. When we finally found the right apartment, Sake negotiated with the owner to get the best possible deal for us. The communication was always friendly and the process went smoothly thanks to his approach and responsiveness. Moreover, the rates charged by homeup are more than reasonable considering the amount of work involved. Thank you for your support throughout the process, up to the final signing at the notary last week!
Very pleasantly helped by Sake with the purchase of our first house. Good communication, friendly and professional!
We received fantastic help from Billy. He called us because he saw a house come by that completely met our needs. A few days later we sat down with the mortgage broker and made an offer. It was an instant hit! Billy guided us very nicely through the whole process. I would recommend home up to anyone!
