You've probably heard the word notary in conjunction with buying your first starter home before. That makes sense, because the notary is an important link in buying a home. But why is the notary so important? That will become clear in the rest of this article.
The notary
In a general sense, a notary helps people reach binding agreements that are legally valid. This is the case, for example, when making a will, but also when buying your first home. The notary is independent and looks out for the interests of all involved.
The notary and your first starter home
Once the whole process of viewing homes and bidding is over and you have signed the contract of sale of your first starter home, finally the notary comes into the picture. The notary is the only person authorized to transfer your new starter home. A deed of transfer and mortgage deed must be drawn up. The delivery deed is the official document that states that the house is transferred from the seller to the buyer.
When you take out a mortgage, you need a mortgage deed. This deed records that your new home is offered as collateral in exchange for the mortgage. After signing these two documents, the purchase of your first starter home is official. As is probably clear from the above, the notary plays an important role in the purchase process. We work with several partners, so you don't have to search for a notary. Once the transfer date has been set, we make sure the appointment with the notary is made. So you can be sure that the whole process goes smoothly.
