Document background
The Agreement To Sell Property is a crucial legal instrument in Belgian real estate transactions, required whenever real property is transferred between parties. This document serves as the preliminary agreement (compromis de vente/verkoopcompromis) before the final notarial deed. It must comply with strict Belgian legal requirements, including specific provisions from the Civil Code and regional regulations. The agreement is typically used in both residential and commercial property transactions, requiring careful consideration of various certificates and declarations mandated by Belgian law. It forms the basis for the notary's preparation of the final deed and includes essential elements such as property details, price, conditions, and regulatory compliance confirmations. The document's importance is heightened by Belgian law's requirement for notarial authentication of property transfers and the binding nature of even preliminary agreements in Belgian property transactions.
