What are the benefits of a building inspection?
For most people, a home is the biggest purchase of their lives. Whether you plan to live there permanently or it's just a temporary measure, you don't want a house with a slew of hidden defects that will cost you a fortune in the long run. Many homes have these defects that aren't immediately apparent. They may not even be noticed by the current resident or property manager. A building inspection in Rotterdam will always give you the clarity you need to make the right decision.
Frequently asked questions about building inspections in Rotterdam
How much does a building inspection cost in Rotterdam?
A building inspection costs only €489 including VAT! This is for homes up to 1000m³. After that, a small additional fee is charged. In Rotterdam, most homes fall under the standard price of €489.
There are many foundation problems in Rotterdam, is this also being taken into account?
Foundations are indeed part of the building inspection. However, it is not a foundation survey. The building inspector will determine whether there are any suspected foundation problems or whether the foundation is in good condition. If we suspect problems, a follow-up inspection of the foundation specifically is recommended.
How long does a building inspection take?
A building inspection in Rotterdam will take an average of a good hour. This naturally depends on the property; we'll finish sooner on a house with virtually nothing wrong than on one with numerous defects. There will be no charge for inspections exceeding an hour. The inspector will begin the inspection in the attic and work his way down to the entire house.
Does it matter that you can no longer get to Rotterdam on polluting buses?
No! Homekeur BV is well-prepared for the future and can reach any location. Parking can sometimes be a challenge in Rotterdam, but you, as the client, don't have to worry about that either.
When will I receive the report for my home in Rotterdam?
In 99% of cases, you'll receive the report, including the cost estimate, in your inbox the next day! If an inspection was performed on a Friday, you won't have to wait in suspense all weekend; you'll receive the report on Saturday! Exceptions apply.
Can I be present at the building inspection?
Yes! We'd love to. The inspectors at Homekeur BV are more than happy to tell you everything about the property. If you're present during the inspection, you can ask the inspector questions and take another look at the house. The report will also be much more understandable. So our advice is always: try to be present!
