When am I officially the buyer?

Contact us

You are officially the buyer only once there is full agreement on three key elements:

  • The purchase price
  • The transfer date (acceptance)
  • Any resolutive conditions (ontbindende voorwaarden)

However, verbal agreement is not enough. Under Dutch law, the written agreement requirement (schriftelijkheidsvereiste) applies. This means a formal purchase agreement must be drawn up, usually by a notary in Amsterdam.

This contract includes all the terms agreed upon verbally and often additional clauses, such as a penalty clause. The deal only becomes binding once:

  • Both parties have signed the contract
  • The buyer’s three-day legal cooling-off period has passed

It’s important to note that resolutive conditions (e.g. financing, building inspection) must be agreed upon before the contract is signed. These conditions protect the buyer and should be approached with care and tailored to your situation.

Ik raad iedereen Aankoopmakelaar Amsterdam B.V. van harte aan. Ben heeft mij ontzettend goed geholpen! Hij was duidelijk zeer deskundig, kent de Amsterdamse woningmarkt door en door, ging mee met bezichtigingen, hij ontzorgde mij volledig in het analyseren van de stukken van woning en notaris, maar het allerbelangrijkste: mijn eerste bod met Ben was direct raak!

Wij zijn zeer goed geholpen door Ben bij de aankoop van onze woning. Onze belangrijkste aanleiding voor het werken met een aankoopmakelaar was om ondersteuning te hebben bij het biedproces (en het bepalen van een goed bod zonder veel te veel te overbieden). De waarde van Ben bleek echter al meteen veel waardevoller dan dat te zijn, doordat hij ons met zijn ervaren en rationele blik liet inzien dat een woning waarop we eigenlijk een bod hadden willen uitbrengen, toch niet de juiste woning was voor ons.

Ben heeft ons daarna ondersteund bij andere bezichtigingen en er uiteindelijk ook voor gezorgd dat we op onze nieuwe woning een gepast, goed onderbouwd, en ook geaccepteerd bod hebben kunnen uitbrengen.

De ondersteuning en samenwerking gedurende het gehele proces waren daarnaast erg prettig en zorgden voor een stukje zekerheid en ontzorging. Ik zou Ben aan iedereen van harte aanbevelen!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Aankoopmakelaar Amsterdam, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. From the very beginning, Ben made the entire process smooth, transparent, and stress-free. His professionalism and deep knowledge of the Dutch housing market stood out immediately, and he was always available to answer questions with patience and clarity.

Ben went above and beyond to ensure that every detail was taken care of. He not only guided me through the complex paperwork but also offered valuable advice at every step, helping me feel confident in my decisions.

Thanks to Ben and the team at Aankoopmakelaar Amsterdam, what could have been a stressful experience turned into an enjoyable and exciting journey. If you are looking for a reliable, trustworthy, and highly skilled makler in the Netherlands, I wholeheartedly recommend Ben.

I had a really good experience with Aankoopmakelaar! A friend of mine suggested this agency, and they truly exceeded our expectations. Ben guided us through every step of the process with calm, clarity, and professionalism. As expats was important to have someone like him on our side. I highly recommend Ben to anyone looking for a reliable and knowledgeable makelaar!

We can't say enough good things about Erik!

He made the journey of finding and buying our new apartment a smooth and manageable experience, which is a huge accomplishment in this challenging market. From the very beginning, he was a fantastic resource, always with a friendly and positive attitude, and he made himself available for our questions at all times (literally—he even responded while on vacation!). His deep knowledge of the market and sharp advice on pricing gave us the confidence we needed to make a great decision. On top of that, the mortgage advisor and property valuator he recommended were both top-notch. We are so happy with the outcome and would wholeheartedly recommend Erik to anyone looking for a dedicated and knowledgeable real estate agent.
