Document background
The Notice of Intent to Sell is a fundamental document in Dutch property transactions, used to formally initiate the sale process of real estate. This document is particularly important in the Netherlands, where property transactions are highly regulated and require specific formal notifications. The notice serves multiple purposes: it fulfills legal notification requirements, establishes a clear record of the seller's intentions, and can trigger important statutory periods for parties with special rights (such as tenants' rights of first refusal). The document typically includes property details, proposed timeline, and seller information. It's used in both residential and commercial property sales and must comply with Dutch Civil Code requirements. The Notice of Intent to Sell is often required before proceeding with formal sale agreements, especially in situations involving leased properties or properties subject to special regulatory requirements.
