Good to know
Does voetstoots protect me as the seller?+
Against unknown defects, yes — but not against faults you knew about and hid. That's why the agreement lists known defects.
Who does the change of ownership?+
The seller submits the NCO form and the buyer registers within 21 days, so fines don't stay in your name.
Is this legal advice?+
No. It's a professionally structured starting point. For high-value or unusual deals, have an attorney review your completed document.
