When buying a home, you are legally entitled to a three-day cooling-off period. In this way, the government tries to protect the buyer against hasty decisions. We at PEEK&POMPE Makelaars also let you go through the purchase agreement carefully, so that you know what you are signing for. During holidays and weekends, the three days are sometimes longer, as two of the three days must be a working day.
The cooling-off period starts on the day after the buyer has received the signed agreement. In practice, the seller always signs first, so that the buyer immediately has the signed version as soon as he signs. The cooling-off period then ends at midnight of the last day.
The rules of the cooling-off period sometimes make it complicated when the purchase is final. That is why you can find an overview of the cooling-off period below.
