What documents does the broker need for the sale?
If you are going to sell your home, the sales agent will need a number of documents from you. It is useful to start collecting/completing the information as early as possible so that you can act immediately when the house has to be sold. Hereby a clear overview of the things the sales agent needs from you:
Documents relating to the contract of sale
- Copy or photo of the identification of the persons officially authorized to sell the property. This may be: passport, driver’s license or identity card. The photos and BSN numbers on the identification may be made unrecognizable due to the AVG law. If you don’t, the broker is supposed to do this himself in the office.
- Completed Questionnaire FEB. Is the sales broker an NVM broker? Then use this NVM questionnaire for a residential property and this NVM questionnaire for an apartment. Any questions you don’t know, just leave those open.
- Completed and signed List of Businesses of FEB. Is the sales broker an NVM broker? Then use this NVM List of Cases.
- Energy Performance Certificate. Check www.energielabel.nl to see if there is already a final version. Don’t have an energy label yet? Then find an energy label provider. Does the property already have an energy label but have lost it? Then click here.
