The Reservation Fee Agreement is a crucial document in Dutch property transactions, used when a potential buyer wishes to secure exclusive rights to purchase a property while finalizing necessary arrangements such as financing or due diligence. This agreement is particularly common in the Netherlands' competitive real estate market, where properties can sell quickly. The document specifies the reservation fee amount, typically a percentage of the purchase price or a fixed sum, and outlines the reservation period during which the seller agrees not to sell the property to other parties. It addresses key aspects such as the conditions for refund or forfeit of the fee, the application of the fee towards the eventual purchase price, and the obligations of both parties during the reservation period. The agreement must comply with Dutch civil law, particularly the provisions of the Burgerlijk Wetboek regarding property transactions and contract formation.
