Document background
The Apartment Sale Agreement is a crucial legal document used in Belgian real estate transactions for the transfer of apartment ownership. It serves as the foundational contract between seller and buyer, outlining all essential terms and conditions of the sale while ensuring compliance with Belgian civil law and regional regulations. This document is mandatory for any apartment sale in Belgium and must be executed before a notary public, as required by Belgian law. The agreement encompasses property details, financial terms, co-ownership aspects, and all necessary certificates and permits. It is designed to protect both parties' interests while meeting strict Belgian legal requirements for property transfers, including mandatory energy performance assessments, soil certificates, and urban planning compliance. The document is particularly important given Belgium's complex property laws and the specific requirements for apartment sales involving co-ownership structures.
