Building
Inspection
What’s a Building Inspection in the Netherlands, and Why Do You Need One?
We help you set up a building inspection before you buy a home. While it’s not legally required for the actual sale, your mortgage lender will likely demand one before approving you for a loan, so it is important.
What's a
Technical inspection
A building inspection is performed by an inspector, and they look thoroughly at the conditions of the house. Once they are finished, you will get a report, which provides details about the shape of the property and what repairs you should expect in the future.
The inspection looks at:
- Inner and outer walls
- Quality of the roof
- State of the window cases
- Ventilation
- Space underneath the home
- Foundation
- Presence of asbestos
- Presence of mold
- And much more
THE COSTS
We can help you arrange a building inspection. Please note, you will be required to pay for the technical inspection yourself. In some cases, we might be able to negotiate with the seller to prevent you from having to pay out of pocket; however, it is generally better to spend the money and have proof that you did.
The Advantages
Buying a house is a huge investment, and it is important to make sure it’s safe. Likewise, you need to know what maintenance will be required the soonest, and a building inspection helps with that. Plus, the experts see things you can’t, and that can be a useful factor when negotiating with the seller.
