Document background
The Contract To Sell A House is a crucial legal document used in Dutch residential property transactions. It serves as the primary agreement between parties before the final transfer deed is executed by a notary. This document is essential when a property owner wishes to sell their residential property to a buyer in the Netherlands, requiring compliance with Dutch Civil Code and property law. The contract includes detailed provisions about the property, price, conditions of sale, warranties, and responsibilities of both parties. It must be comprehensive enough to protect both parties' interests while satisfying regulatory requirements for property transfers in the Dutch jurisdiction. The document typically precedes the execution of the notarial deed of transfer (leveringsakte) and forms the basis for the property's eventual transfer at the Land Registry (Kadaster).
