Document background
The As Is Residential Contract For Sale And Purchase is a specialized agreement used in the Netherlands for residential property transactions where the buyer agrees to accept the property in its current condition. This document is particularly relevant when selling older properties or those with known issues, while still maintaining compliance with Dutch consumer protection laws. It includes mandatory elements required by Dutch property law, such as the three-day cooling-off period, notarial deed requirements, and specific disclosures about property condition. The contract balances the 'as is' nature of the sale with mandatory seller warranties that cannot be excluded under Dutch law. It's designed to protect both parties while clearly establishing the limited nature of the seller's warranties and the buyer's acceptance of the property's current state.
