What is a down payment agreement?

A down payment agreement is a legal document used to secure an advance payment from the buyer to the seller, usually in connection with the purchase of real estate or a car. This agreement protects both parties by specifying the terms of the down payment and what happens if the purchase does not go through as planned. The down payment acts as security for the seller that the buyer is serious about his purchase.

• The Consumer Credit Act (2010:1846) : Regulates credit purchases where a down payment can form part of the payment.
• Practice and Doctrine : Since specific legislation for down payments is lacking, practice and legal doctrine play an important role.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

1. What happens if the buyer pulls out after the down payment has been paid?

2. Is the down payment agreement binding?

• Yes, the down payment agreement is binding but it is not the same as a purchase agreement. This means that the purchase is not yet fully completed.
