Feedback Selling a home is an emotional and important event for the seller. We therefore greatly appreciate receiving feedback within a few days after your viewing, so we can inform the seller of your impressions and experience. Bank Guarantee / Security Deposit To ensure the fulfillment of the obligations, the buyer must, no later than one week after the purchase agreement becomes final, provide a written bank guarantee or deposit a security amount equal to 10% of the purchase price. The seller always insists on the requirement of a written agreement for the sale of the property. Furthermore, the amount for a financing clause included in the agreement cannot exceed the asking price of the property. Measurement Instruction The measurement instruction is based on NEN2580. It is intended to provide a uniform method for measuring usable floor space. However, it does not completely eliminate variations in outcomes due to interpretation differences, rounding, or measurement limitations. Disclaimer This information has been compiled by our office with the utmost care based on data and drawings provided by the seller. We cannot provide guarantees nor accept any liability for inaccuracies. No rights can be derived from the information provided. Van de Schans Makelaardij accepts no liability for any discrepancies. Verbal Agreement A verbal agreement between a private seller and a private buyer is not legally binding. In other words: there is no sale. A valid purchase agreement only exists once both parties have signed the contract. This is in accordance with Article 7:2 of the Dutch Civil Code. An email confirmation or a draft of the purchase agreement does not constitute a signed purchase agreement. Clauses may be included in our purchase agreement. Below, you'll find possible clauses that may be included in the sale of a property. These clauses don't apply to every property, so feel free to ask our agent for clarification during the viewing. Age Clause Van de Schans Makelaardij includes an age clause in purchase contracts for homes older than 30 years. This clause states that the buyer acknowledges the age of the property and accepts that its condition may be inferior to that of a newer home. This clause is non-negotiable. Non-Occupancy Clause If the seller has not recently lived in the home, a non-occupancy clause will be included in the purchase contract. This clause indicates that the seller has never lived in the home and therefore cannot vouch for its condition or possible defects that would be known through personal use. The buyer assumes responsibility for conducting necessary inspections. This clause is non-negotiable. “As is, where is” Clause This clause places all responsibility for visible and hidden defects with the buyer. By accepting the property “as is, where is,” the buyer agrees to purchase it in its current condition, without recourse to the seller for any defects discovered later — including hidden or structural issues not visible during the viewing.
