More stories of first-time buyers who thought it was impossible to buy a home
Sake from Homeup helped me in a way that far exceeded my expectations. Thanks to his quick, clear and personal approach, I found my first home in no time, something I probably wouldn't have succeeded without Homeup. He understood exactly what I was looking for and was always there for me, even during his vacation! The guidance through the whole process was top notch: clear, smooth and without fuss. As a starter I really felt heard and helped. I recommend Homeup to anyone looking for a real estate agent who really thinks with you and fights for you!
From start to finish everything was well taken care of.Thank you gentlemen !!!!
Because of Sake's great help we were able to buy our dream house in Utrecht! He was always available for questions and thought along with us. Definitely recommended!
Just top!
Really great help from Sake with the purchase of our first house. Buying a house can be very stressful at times. Sake has a lot of expertise and is always calm which is very nice at such moments ;) he is easy to reach and switches very quickly. In addition, he put us in touch with several relevant parties which made the whole purchase go smoothly. I will definitely use homeup again the next time we buy a house!
I wholeheartedly recommend homeup to anyone looking for a reliable real estate agency! Sake made the purchase process of my home smooth and stress-free, guiding me every step of the way. Thanks to his expertise and dedication, I found the perfect home at a great price.
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!

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 property. It is important because it protects the rights and obligations of both parties.
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.
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.
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.
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.
