Homeup biedt uitstekende service tijdens uw huizenjacht. Sake is zeer professioneel en ervaren en geeft het beste advies. Billy is ook uitzonderlijk en staat altijd klaar om te helpen. Ik kan Homeup en hun diensten van harte aanbevelen.
Sake was very helpful from the moment I met him. He charges reasonable rates and helped me find the apartment I wanted the first time. He really knows how to interact with expats and handles everything without too much hassle for people new to the Dutch real estate market. He also connected me with a mortgage advisor who offered us a very reasonable interest rate (the lowest you can get in the current market). I highly recommend Sake to anyone who wants to buy a property, especially in a competitive market like Amsterdam.
It was a fantastic experience having Sake as our real estate agent! He makes what seems complicated seem easy, takes the time to explain everything, and offers excellent advice. We found our house within a few months, and throughout the entire process, he was always available and quick to respond whenever we needed him. We would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a home. Thanks, Sake!

Frequently asked questions about legal advice when buying a property
Do you have legal questions when buying a house? Here you will find the answers to the most frequently asked questions. We help you to clear all your doubts and uncertainties!
A purchase agreement is a legal document that sets out the agreements between the buyer and seller of a home. It is important because it protects the rights and obligations of both parties.
Easements are rights that someone has on another person's plot. Consider, for example, the right of way. They can influence the sale of your home because they pass to the new owner.
A resolutive condition is a condition in the purchase agreement that gives the buyer the right to terminate the agreement. This can be the case, for example, if the buyer does not complete the financing.
The cooling-off period is the period during which the buyer can terminate the purchase agreement without giving reasons. This period is legally set at three days after receiving the purchase agreement.
At the notary, the purchase agreement is converted into a notarial deed. This deed is registered in the Land Registry, making the transfer of ownership official.
