Document background

This document is typically prepared after initial negotiations and before the final notarial deed of transfer, serving as the binding agreement between parties. It must comply with Dutch Civil Code requirements and includes essential elements such as property description, purchase price, conditions precedent, and warranties. The agreement forms the basis for the notary to prepare the final deed of transfer and ensures all legal requirements under Dutch law are satisfied. It's particularly important as real estate transfers in the Netherlands must be executed through a notarial deed, making this preliminary agreement a vital step in the property transfer process.
