The Lease With Option To Buy Commercial Property agreement is a sophisticated legal instrument used in the Netherlands when parties wish to combine a commercial lease with a potential future property purchase. This arrangement is particularly suitable for businesses that want to test a location before committing to purchase, or need time to arrange financing for an eventual purchase. The document must comply with Dutch civil code requirements, incorporating standard ROZ model provisions for commercial leases while also addressing the specific mechanics of the purchase option. It's commonly used in expanding businesses, franchise operations, or when property owners want to maintain current income while securing a future sale. The agreement includes detailed provisions about property use, maintenance, rent calculations, purchase price determination, and the specific procedures for exercising the purchase option, all within the framework of Dutch property law.
