More stories from starters who thought it was impossible
Sake helped us close on our dream house, where we didn't get a viewing until the closing date. Although it was a bit outside his area and not the most attractive offer, he convinced the selling agent to recommend us to the seller. I would recommend him to other expats in their search for a home in the Netherlands.
We found our home within two months! HomeUp is an excellent choice in terms of cost-benefit ratio. We were clearly told which package was most advantageous for us. If (or when) we decide to switch, we will definitely choose HomeUp again. Thank you!!!
Buying a house in Amsterdam is quite an experience. It took us eight months, and the support from Sake and his team was essential. We are very satisfied with their service.
The guys from Homeup helped us tremendously! Thanks to Sake's expertise and excellent communication, we felt confident throughout the entire process. We don't know if we would have been able to buy our house without his help. Sake, thank you so much! We highly recommend hiring these guys ;)
We recently bought a house through Home UP, and it went really smoothly. Thanks to Billy's clear explanation and honesty, we immediately knew what to expect and what the costs would be, and as first-time buyers, we were able to learn what it's like to buy a house. Billy was always easily accessible and responded promptly and clearly, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. Thanks to Home UP, we were able to get the start we were so looking forward to, and thanks to their approach, we, as buyers, didn't have to worry about someone outbidding us way beyond our budget.
A fantastic experience. Sake and Billy were incredibly helpful throughout the entire process, from the initial meeting, where Sake explained how buying a house in the Netherlands works, to the signing at the notary's appointment for the keys. They made a huge difference, especially during the bidding process, where we were able to be competitive and ultimately secure our new apartment in Almere! A huge thank you to Sake, Billy, and the entire HomeUp team for their fantastic support! I would recommend them to anyone interested in buying a house or apartment. Keep up the good work, guys!
Sake was incredibly helpful in buying our first home. Excellent communication, friendly, and professional!
Sake was incredibly helpful in our search! He connected with the right partners incredibly quickly, taking a lot of work off our hands. Thanks to his expertise, we didn't have a single worry and are now thoroughly enjoying our new home!
Highly professional assistance. Sake supported me through every aspect of the house purchase. Very pragmatic and does everything possible to ensure a smooth process.

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.
