House sold with Homeup. The process went smoothly and I got a higher amount than expected.
I had an excellent experience with Sake!
From our first meeting to receiving the house keys, the entire process took less than a month - an incredibly quick and smooth process. Sake was friendly, helpful and professional throughout the 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. That made the process comfortable and stress-free. When I was ready, he took over the negotiations and closing seamlessly, making 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!
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.
