With regard to this property, the estate agent acts as the seller’s adviser. We recommend engaging an experienced (NVM) estate agent to assist you throughout the purchasing process. If you have specific requirements regarding the property, we recommend informing your purchasing agent of these in good time and conducting, or commissioning, independent investigations into these matters.

NEN CLAUSE
The usable floor area has been calculated in accordance with the NEN 2580 standard established for the industry. The stated area may therefore differ from that of comparable properties and/or older references. This is primarily due to the (new) calculation method. The buyer declares that they have been sufficiently informed about the aforementioned standards.
The seller and their estate agent make every effort to calculate the correct floor area and volume based on their own measurements and to support these measurements as much as possible by providing floor plans with dimensions. Should the measurements inadvertently not fully comply with the applicable standards, this is accepted by the buyer. The buyer has been given sufficient opportunity to verify the measurements themselves or have them verified by a professional. Differences in the stated dimensions or size do not entitle either party to any rights, including an adjustment of the purchase price. The seller and their estate agent accept no liability in this regard.
