More certainty with a structural inspection

As a buyer of a home in the Netherlands you have a legal obligation to investigate. By having us carry out a structural inspection, you as an expat, also meet this obligation. A structural inspection is an internal- and external visual home inspection that gives you insight into the structural defects and overdue maintenance of the house.

After the inspection you will receive a structural report (in English or other language) in which each structural component is assessed. For each defect, a photo is taken and provided with repair advice and cost estimate. We are a certified Integral Home Inspector and are recognized within the SERTUM register. Our structural reports are accepted by all parties including the Nationale Hypotheek Garantie (NHG), Stichting Waarborgfonds Eigen Woning, all included financial institutions registered with the Autoriteit Financiële Markten and the Nederlandse Woning Waarde Instituut (NWWI).

Reviews from expats

Funda review

Patrick is really helpful and know the area. Together with the help from Ms. Janka, the service allows me to make the purchase within 1 month after working with him. Before that, I have searched and visited different possibilities for more than half a year. I would highly recommend to work with Vendôme Makelaardij if you are searching a house/apartment in the region, especially in this special time that the housing price rising so quickly. It is also expat friendly as you can communicate in English in a perfect way.

Funda review

Patrick and Karin was amazing in helping 2 very clueless expats (that would be us) in buying our first home in the Netherlands. They are both professional and quick to communicate. They also have excellent knowledge of the build quality of a house and was able to guide us in buying a suitable home in our budget and in a good neighborhood. Their service is highly recommended to anyone who would like to purchase or sell a home.

Google review

After we found our favored house on Funda, Vendome makelaar helped us patiently and responsibly with the rest of purchase process! They answered all our questions regarding filling in the formulars as well as our legal questions. We are super happy with their kind supports and enjoyed our friendly discussions. What we found very useful was that we could call them freely outside of the official working hours until 21:00! I also enjoyed the fact that they spend a lot of time on their clients and give them enough attention and respect. Appreciation for that!

Funda review

No matter you are buying a property or selling a property in Ede, Wageningen, Veenendaal, Bennekom or surrounding areas, Patrick is the expert you want to work with. He is experienced in the area and could get you a good deal regardless you are a buyer or a seller. Not to mention that he is customer centric and considerate. It's my pleasure working with him.

Google review

Patrick is very responsive and thoughtful, and communication with him was always excellent. He supported us in each step of the process, from searching for a house to making an offer and signing the final papers. My husband and I were new to all Dutch systems, so we were grateful to be able to ask Patrick many questions. He is very knowledgeable about the area and the real estate market, and he knows a lot about how homes here are built. We are still beginning Dutch learners, so Patrick's help interpreting everything during this process was invaluable. Five enthusiastic stars: We definitely recommend Vendome Makelaardij Ede!
