We found Sake on the recommendation of good friends after hearing their enthusiastic stories about him. And rightly so: we too were quickly successful in our search for our new home! Since then, we've recommended Sake to three friends, and they too have now found a home. What's so great about Sake is his quick and clear communication. He takes care of everything and guides you through the entire buying process. He also has a fantastic network in Amsterdam, which opens many doors. In short: if you're looking for a buyer's agent who is decisive, has a large network, and, above all, is a pleasure to work with, definitely call Sake!

Homeup managed the sale of our apartment. Mr. Brouwer from Homeup was professional and quick to answer any questions and provide the necessary information. Appointments were kept promptly, so I highly recommend this real estate agent.

Sake was simply fantastic. As an expat buying a house in Amsterdam, it was a world we didn't fully understand. Sake helped us through every step of the buying process, making it an easy and relaxing experience. I will definitely use Sake's services again.

I had an excellent experience with Sake! From our first meeting to receiving the keys, the entire process took less than a month—an incredibly fast and smooth process. Sake was friendly, helpful, and professional throughout the entire process, making me feel supported every step of the way. I especially appreciated his approach, giving me the freedom to view the house at my own pace and on my own schedule. This made the process comfortable and stress-free. When I was ready, he seamlessly took over the negotiations and closing, ensuring a fair deal. His expertise and efficiency made all the difference. Thank you, Sake, for your excellent service! Highly recommended.

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 home. 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 home?

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.

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 terminate the agreement. This can be the case, for example, if the buyer does not complete the financing.

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

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.

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.
