This information has been compiled with due care. However, no liability is accepted for any inaccuracies, omissions, or consequences thereof. All stated dimensions and surface areas are indicative only. Buyers are responsible for conducting their own investigations into all matters of importance to them.
The selling agent acts solely on behalf of the seller. We recommend engaging a qualified real estate agent (NVM broker) to assist you throughout the purchasing process. If you have specific requirements regarding the property, we advise you to communicate these in a timely manner to your purchasing agent and to carry out any necessary investigations independently.

NEN 2580 Measurement Clause
The usable floor area has been measured in accordance with the industry-standard NEN 2580 measurement guidelines. As a result, the stated floor area may differ from that of comparable properties and/or older references due to this updated calculation method.
The buyer declares that they have been adequately informed of this measurement standard. The seller and the seller’s agent have made every effort to calculate the correct floor area and volume based on their own measurements and, where possible, to support these calculations with floor plans including dimensions.
Should the measurements ultimately prove not to fully comply with the applicable standard, the buyer accepts this. The buyer has been given ample opportunity to verify the measurements independently. Any discrepancies in the stated dimensions or size shall not entitle either party to compensation or adjustment of the purchase price. The seller and the seller’s agent accept no liability in this regard.
Municipal Regulations – Owner-Occupancy Requirement
As of 1 January 2022, the Dutch buy-to-let protection legislation ("opkoopbescherming") came into effect, allowing municipalities to impose an owner-occupancy requirement on purchased residential properties. For detailed information, please refer to the relevant municipality.
Age Clause
The buyer expressly acknowledges that the property is approximately 90 years old and therefore cannot be expected to possess the characteristics and standards of a newly built home.
The buyer is aware that aspects such as the roof, façades, foundation, floors, electrical, gas and water installations, sewer system, flues, and the possible presence of pests, woodworm, beetles, fungus, mould, damp penetration, or rising damp may not meet modern construction standards.
The parties expressly agree that any defects, shortcomings, or conditions related to the age of the property shall be at the buyer’s risk and expense, and that these factors have been taken into account in determining the purchase price.
