Valid sales agreement only after signing
An oral agreement between the private seller and the private buyer is not legally valid. In other words: there is no sale. There is only a legally valid sale when the private seller and the private buyer have signed the sales agreement. This follows from article 7:2 Civil Code. A confirmation of the oral agreement by e-mail or a sent draft of the sales agreement is however not considered as a ‘signed sales agreement’.

This property has been measured according to the Measurement Guidelines. The Measurement Guidelines are based on NEN2580. The Measurement Guidelines aim to apply a more uniform method of measurement to provide an indication of the usable floor area. The Measurement Guidelines do not completely rule out differences in measurement results, for example due to interpretation differences, rounding or limitations in carrying out the measurement. Although we have carefully measured the property, there may be differences in the dimensions. Neither the seller nor the real estate agent accepts any liability for these differences. Our measurements are considered purely indicative. If the exact measurement is important to you, we recommend that you have the dimensions measured yourself. In this context, we note that the Ministry of VROM allows a deviation of 15% in the basic registers. We also allow the same permissible difference. However, interpretation differences are not included here. These can lead to an additional difference. Read the full description
