Thanks to Sake's quick turnaround, we were able to buy the house of our dreams after only the second offer. As starters, there were many things we knew little about, but Sake took the time to take us fully through the process. That gave us a familiar and reassuring feeling. Thank you Sake!

Great Experience. I had been looking for an apartment for almost 8 months before Nobel Mortgages recommended Sake from homeup to me and the purchase process was resolved pretty quickly after that. I had always thought that hiring a real estate agent was unnecessary and that I could just do it myself, but having a professional handle the negotiations and purchase had a great and very favorable impact on the final price for me.

I had a very good experience with Homeup when selling my apartment in Amsterdam, and then also when buying a new apartment. The sales process went smoothly and I got a decent price for my apartment. Everything was very well organized by Homeup. Sake from homeup was extremely professional and showed a lot of commitment. He was active and proactive in the sales process, so everything went smoothly. I can definitely recommend homeup to anyone who wants a smooth selling experience when selling their apartment.

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!

Sake helped us tremendously! Without his expertise and commitment, finding a house that perfectly matched our wishes and budget would have been much more difficult and would have taken much more time. We are very grateful for his help and the fact that we could always come to him with our questions. He actively thought along, gave honest advice and was always ready when needed. Really great!

Great experience!!! I highly recommend it. I worked with Billy on the purchase of my first apartment. He understood all my preferences well and gave a comprehensive list of options, which helped in buying the apartment I loved. Billy guided me well throughout the process and patiently answered all my questions. He also helped me with translations (from Dutch to English) of key parts of the documents and made sure everything went to my liking. Thank you for the exceptional service!

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!

What is a purchase agreement and why is it important?

A purchase agreement is a legal document that sets out the agreements between the buyer and seller of a property. It is important because it protects the rights and obligations of both parties.

What are easements and how can they affect the purchase of my property?

Easements are rights that one person has on another's property. Consider, for example, the right of way. They can affect the sale of your home because they pass to the new owner.

What is a resolutive condition in a purchase agreement?

A resolutive condition is a condition in the purchase agreement that gives the buyer the right to dissolve the agreement. This may be the case, for example, if the buyer is unable to complete the financing.

What is a cooling-off period and how does it work?

The cooling-off period is the period in which the buyer can dissolve the purchase agreement without giving reasons. This period is legally set at three days after receipt of the purchase agreement.

What happens at the notary during the transfer?

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.
