How does a building inspection work?

Making an appointment

A building inspection begins with an appointment. Our partner will come by at your convenience.

The inspection

The specialist inspects your home from head to toe. Every nook and cranny is looked at. That way you know exactly what's going on.

The report

After the inspection, you will receive a clear report. In it you will find the defects found, including photos and a cost indication for solving these problems.

Your security

With the report in hand, you know exactly where you stand. No hidden defects, no unexpected costs. Just certainty. That's homeup.

When do I need a building inspection and how much does it cost?

Especially if you are buying an older home, it is wise to have this done. But it can't hurt newer homes either. It can reveal hidden defects, such as leaks, wood rot or construction faults. Although a building inspection is not mandatory, it does provide assurance and can help you negotiate the price.

Engaging an expert for a building inspection is an investment in the security of your home purchase. Our reliable partner offers this service for a fixed price of €350, including VAT.

In this difficult time to find a house to buy, everything went smoothly and professionally. In addition, we did not have to overbid, very nice because we knew where we stood in terms of costs.
