More stories of first-time buyers who thought it was impossible to buy a home
Having Sake and Billy by my side during the purchase of my first home was a huge help. They really went out of their way to answer all my questions and made me feel comfortable throughout the process.
Assisted by Sake in the sale of my home. He immediately took care of everything and relieved me of all the worries surrounding the sale. My thanks!
Buying a house in Amsterdam is quite an experience. It took us 8 months and the support of Sake and his team was essential. We are very satisfied with their service.
Being taken care of from start to finish.It started with a pleasant telephone conversation, nice explanation and clarity from both sides whether we wanted to do business with each other. It ended with the sale of our home to a couple who are very happy with the purchase.What was very pleasant for us was the open communication, even when we had to ask for a one-month postponement, this was possible.I recommend talking to them and seeing if the platform suits you.Thanks Sake!
The personal contact with Sake made it possible to move quickly with the buyers of our apartment. Sake is professional and easy to approach, open to enter into any conversation to get everything clear. Highly recommended!
Last month we managed to secure our first house for sale in Amsterdam with the help of Sake from Homeup. The process went very smoothly and the guidance throughout the period worked perfectly for us. We could ask all our questions and we received good and critical feedback. We have now moved into our house (very happy!) and we are extremely grateful to Homeup for the pleasant purchase guidance. Highly recommended for every starter!
Fantastic help from the guys from Homeup! Thanks to Sake's expertise and great communication, we felt confident throughout the whole process. We do not know if we would have succeeded in buying our house without his help. Sake, thank you very much! Highly recommend these guys;)
Super nice contact with Billy and Sake!
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!
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.
