Everything you need to know about a home inspection

After you've requested your inspection digitally, our planning department will immediately contact the various parties to schedule an appointment. We'll contact the seller and the real estate agents involved. After scheduling the appointment, all parties will automatically receive a confirmation.

At Homekeur, your home inspection is carried out by well-trained inspectors. These are skilled professionals with expertise. They systematically examine the property using visual inspections and advanced measuring equipment. The inspectors working for Homekeur undergo annual internal training, as quality and customer satisfaction are our top priorities. Because we work with a large network of professionals, we almost always have an inspector available locally. This ensures our clients always have an inspector on-site who is knowledgeable about the local situation and building conditions.
During the inspection, you'll have the opportunity to ask our inspector any questions. They're happy to help clear up any uncertainties you may have about the property.

Of course, it's possible to buy a home without having a home inspection performed. However, doing so involves a significant risk. Buying a house involves a significant amount of money. Repairing (hidden) defects quickly adds up to high costs. A home inspection gives the buyer a clear picture of the property's condition and the potential costs involved in repairing the defects. Based on the inspector's findings, an informed decision can be made about whether or not to buy the property, and subsequent disappointments are significantly reduced. Plenty of reasons to have your home inspected!

Craftsmanship and customer satisfaction are our absolute top priorities. We've designed all our processes to meet these demands, and with results. We're proud of our customer reviews . Our craftsmanship translates into the following:

• Our inspectors will climb the ladder and, if necessary, enter the crawl space.
• Our inspectors are equipped with modern cameras, allowing them to examine every home in detail.
• We are knowledgeable, driven and have over 15 years of experience in the field.
• We are recognized by the NHG (Dutch Mortgage Guarantee Fund) and the National Mortgage Guarantee Fund (Stichting Waarborgfonds Eigen Woningen).

The cost of a building inspection is: €489. This amount includes VAT. However, we do have a few price restrictions. For example, for homes on the Wadden Islands, we charge a surcharge of €150. However, we only do this on a project basis. The aforementioned amount of €489 applies to homes up to 1000m³ of living space. For each square meter above 1000m³, we charge a surcharge of €0.65, including VAT. A building inspection for an old house costs the same as a new one. Every house has its own challenges!

You can cancel a home inspection up to 24 hours in advance. We won't charge any fees in this case. If you cancel on the day of the inspection, we will, of course, charge the fee.

We share the inspector's findings with our clients in a building inspection report. This report provides a detailed description of all the inspected items, giving you a clear picture of the property's condition. We also outline the estimated future costs you can expect. You can view a sample report via this link .
