Document background
The Conveyance Sale Deed is a crucial document in Dutch property law, used whenever real estate ownership needs to be transferred from one party to another. It follows the signing of a purchase agreement (koopovereenkomst) and represents the final step in the property transfer process. The deed must be prepared by and executed before a civil law notary, as required by Dutch law. It includes comprehensive details about the property, parties involved, purchase price, payment confirmation, and any encumbrances or special conditions. The document serves multiple purposes: it formally transfers ownership, provides legal certainty to both parties, and creates a public record of the transaction when registered with the Land Registry. The Conveyance Sale Deed is particularly important as it forms the basis for updating property records and serves as definitive proof of ownership under Dutch law.
