If a landlord asks for a deposit before you have viewed the property, pause and verify the rental before paying. We compare the rental listing with the actual address, inspect the property in person and document what we find.

How it works

How a rental property inspection in the Netherlands works.

Your rental inspection combines property records, listing checks, an in-person visit, and a photo report for a decision you can make from abroad.

Step 1

Share the rental address and listing.

Tell us which room, studio, or apartment you found so the rental inspection focuses on the exact entrance, unit, and listing details.

Enter property address
Step 2

We verify the rental details.

We review the listing and check legal ownership before the visit so the on-site inspection starts with the right property information.

Step 3

We physically view the property.

A local expert checks the entrance, unit, and listing details in person and captures current photos or videos.
