Document background
The Letter of Property Transfer is a fundamental document in Dutch property law, used when ownership of real estate needs to be legally transferred from one party to another. This document type is essential in the Netherlands, where property transfers must be executed through a notarial deed and registered with the Land Registry (Kadaster). The letter serves as a formal record of the transfer, including crucial details such as property description, party information, purchase price, and transfer conditions. It must comply with various Dutch laws, including the Civil Code and Cadastre Act, and typically requires involvement of a notary. The Letter of Property Transfer is used in both residential and commercial property transactions, and forms part of the broader property transfer process that includes due diligence, registration, and tax considerations.
