Document background
The Sale Deed Agreement is a crucial legal document in Belgian property law that formalizes and executes the transfer of real estate ownership. This document is required for all property transfers in Belgium and must be prepared and executed by a notary public. The deed serves multiple purposes: it confirms the parties' agreement, transfers legal title, and ensures compliance with all regulatory requirements. It includes essential information such as property details, price, payment terms, and various mandatory certificates and declarations. The document's format and content are strictly regulated by Belgian civil law and notarial practice, requiring specific formalities and registrations to be valid. A Sale Deed Agreement is typically preceded by a preliminary agreement (compromis de vente/verkoopscompromis) and represents the final step in the property transfer process.
