Potential buyers should be aware of the specific conditions of this sale. The seller has used the property for rental purposes and is therefore less familiar with the specific characteristics or potential defects of the home. Because of this, the seller will not provide any guarantees regarding the technical installations, the supply and drainage pipes, or the electrical wiring. To protect the interests of both parties, a non owner occupancy clause and an age clause will be included in the deed of sale. The sale is subject to the condition that the agreement is only finalized once all involved parties have signed the purchase contract. This follows the model of the KNB ring Amsterdam or similar agreements. The choice of notary is up to the buyer, provided the notary is based in Amsterdam. Transfer of the property is possible immediately.
