The Measurement Instruction is intended to apply a more uniform method of measurement to provide an indication of the usable area. The Measurement Instruction does not completely rule out differences in measurement results, for example due to differences in interpretation, rounding off, or limitations in performing the measurement. Legally valid purchase agreement only after signing A verbal agreement between the private seller and the private buyer is not legally valid. In other words: there is no sale. A legally valid purchase only exists once the private seller and the private buyer have signed the purchase agreement. This follows from Article 7:2 of the Civil Code. A confirmation of the verbal agreement by email or a draft of the purchase agreement sent by post is not considered a ‘signed purchase agreement’. ALICE JONKERS MAKELAARDIJ represents the interests of the selling party in this matter. As a buyer, you have your own duty to investigate, so bring your own NVM purchase agent. Your NVM purchase agent will represent your interests and save you time, money, and worry. Addresses of fellow NVM purchase brokers in Haaglanden can be found on Funda.
