You’ve found your dream home? Now this memorable moment has arrived it is time to officially record the purchase. This is done in the form of a ‘preliminary sales agreement’. A preliminary sales agreement acts as the basis for the deed of sale that is drawn up by a notary. But what exactly does this preliminary sales agreement entail? Below we’ve listed the five most important questions for you.
A sales agreement lists all the details necessary for the purchase or transfer of title of your property. The seller needs some information from you to draw up the sales agreement. The sales agreement contains the following:
Are you buying a property via Matexi? Then Matexi will draw up the sales agreement for you. You will receive an email from us asking you to fill out all the necessary details for drawing up the sales agreement. When the sales agreement is ready we will email it to you and you will have the necessary time to check all the data and send us any questions/remarks you might have. Matexi’s sales agreements are drawn up with the utmost care and meet all legal standards. This way you the buyer enjoys maximum protection.
As soon as both parties have reached an agreement and the sales agreement is drawn up (and proofread) it is time to seal the deal by signing it.
You sign the agreement in your capacity as buyer and pay the deposit via bank transfer. The payment deadline, the amount and the payment details are already listed in the sales agreement.
Matexi offers a unique price guarantee: the price at the moment of signing the sales agreement never changes. Your personal advisor provides assistance in every stage of the construction process. This gives you something priceless: peace of mind. Matexi is a family business with a long history and our word is our bond - a promise that has held true for over 75 years.
How is that possible? Matexi starts building a neighbourhood before the sales process starts. We work with a regular pool of contractors with whom fixed price agreements are made. Naturally the rising construction costs are also discussed with them. This way, when you sign the preliminary sales agreement, you know exactly how much you’ll pay for your home, without unexpected costs.
The sales agreement or preliminary sales agreement is binding and acts as the basis for drawing up the notarial deed. A notarial deed is required to legally seal a sale. The deed must be executed by the notary within a period of 4 months after the signing of the sales agreement.
