Document background
The Offer To Purchase Real Estate Form is a crucial document in Belgian property transactions, serving as the formal initiation of a property purchase process. It is typically used when a potential buyer has identified a property of interest and wishes to make a legally binding offer to purchase. The document must comply with Belgian federal legislation, including the Civil Code and Property Law Reform Act of 2020, as well as specific regional requirements depending on whether the property is located in Flanders, Wallonia, or the Brussels-Capital region. The form includes mandatory elements such as party identification, property details, purchase price, validity period, and various certificates required by Belgian law. It also addresses contingencies such as mortgage financing, property surveys, and compliance with urban planning regulations. This document forms the basis for the subsequent notarial deed if the offer is accepted.
