Document background
The Conveyance Agreement is a fundamental document in Dutch property law, used whenever real estate ownership is transferred between parties. This comprehensive agreement serves as the foundation for the property transfer process, detailing all aspects of the transaction including property specifications, purchase price, payment terms, and conditions precedent to transfer. Under Dutch law, while the Conveyance Agreement establishes the contractual obligations between parties, the actual transfer of ownership requires execution of a notarial deed and registration with the Land Registry (Kadaster). The document must comply with requirements set forth in the Dutch Civil Code and related legislation, making it essential for both residential and commercial property transactions in the Netherlands. It protects both parties' interests by clearly defining their rights and obligations, and typically precedes the formal notarial transfer deed.
