TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SALE
The sale is subject to the terms and conditions set out below. By submitting an offer and entering into the purchase agreement, the purchaser acknowledges having read, understood, and accepted these conditions.
- Prior to entering into the purchase agreement, the purchaser has reviewed the non-binding property information memorandum and expressly accepts its contents.
- Before entering into the purchase agreement, the purchaser shall be given the opportunity to have the property inspected by a qualified building surveyor to identify any structural defects and/or to commission an inspection for the presence of asbestos-containing materials and/or soil contamination. The purchaser has made / not made use of this opportunity.
- The purchaser acknowledges that the property is more than 100 years old. Consequently, the standards that may reasonably be expected with regard to its construction quality are considerably lower than those applicable to newly built properties. Unless expressly warranted by the seller, the seller provides no guarantees regarding the condition of the floors, electrical, water and gas installations, heating and hot water systems and their components, drainage systems, or the absence of penetrating or rising damp.
- The property may contain asbestos-containing materials. Should such materials be removed, the purchaser shall be responsible for complying with all applicable statutory requirements and regulations governing their removal. The purchaser declares that they are familiar with these regulations and accepts all liability and consequences arising from the presence and/or removal of asbestos in the property. Notwithstanding the provisions of Article 7:17 paragraphs 1 and 2 of the Dutch Civil Code, any lack of one or more characteristics required for the normal or intended use of the property, or any other non-conformity resulting from the presence of asbestos in any form or location whatsoever, shall be entirely at the purchaser's expense and risk. The purchase price has been determined with due regard to this provision.
- If, pursuant to Article 13 of the Dutch Real Estate Transfer Tax Act (Wet op Belastingen van Rechtsverkeer), the taxable value for transfer tax purposes can be reduced because the transfer takes place within six months of a previous transfer, resulting in the purchaser paying less transfer tax than would normally be due, the purchaser shall reimburse the seller for the difference between:
- the amount of transfer tax that would have been payable without the reduction; and
- the amount of transfer tax actually payable after application of the reduction.
- If the legal transfer of ownership takes place later than the agreed completion date, the purchaser shall pay default interest to the seller at a rate of 8.5% per annum, calculated over the purchase price from the agreed legal completion date until the actual date of transfer. This amount shall be paid simultaneously with the purchase price upon completion. No interest shall be payable if the delay is attributable to circumstances within the seller's sphere of risk.
The property shall be sold and transferred on an "as is, where is" basis.
Relevant documentation relating to the property is available for inspection at our office upon request. This includes, among other things, documentation relating to the homeowners' association (VvE), house rules, title deed, deed of subdivision, subdivision drawings, applicable regulations, and, where applicable, ground lease (leasehold) conditions.
