Buy
No. The Supreme Court has determined that the asking price should be seen as an invitation to make an offer. Even if you offer the asking price, the seller can still decide whether to accept your offer or not, or to let his broker make a counter offer.
Yes that is allowed. A negotiation does not necessarily have to lead to a sale. In addition, the seller may want to know if there is more interest. It is also possible to negotiate with more than one candidate at the same time. A VBO realtor must clearly state this. Often the selling VBO realtor will tell interested parties that a property, as it is called, is "under offer". As an interested party you may make a bid, but the realtor may only negotiate with you when the negotiation with the first interested party has ended. The VBO realtor does not make any announcements about the amount of the bids. This could provoke outbidding.
Yes that is allowed. Sometimes there are so many interested parties who offer or approach the asking price that it is difficult to determine who is the best buyer. In that case, the selling realtor - in consultation with the seller - may decide to terminate the current negotiations and change the bidding procedure and then opt for, for example, a registration procedure. All bidders have an equal chance to make the highest bid. Before changing the system, the realtor must of course first comply with any commitments made.

No. "Purchaser's costs" include the costs that the government attaches to the transfer of a home. These are the transfer tax, the notary costs for drawing up the deed of transfer and the costs for registering it in the registers. In addition, the buyer must take into account the (notary) costs for drawing up and registering the mortgage deed. If the selling party has engaged a real estate agent to sell the house, the costs will be at his expense. After all, the selling realtor represents the interests of the seller and not of you as the buyer. For this reason, it is usually also wise to engage a realtor yourself. The realtor fee for a buying realtor is for the account of the buyer.
No. The selling realtor determines the sales procedure together with the seller. If you are seriously interested, ask the realtor what your position is. This can avoid disappointment.
The statutory three-day cooling-off period means that you as a buyer can cancel the purchase without giving any reason. The reflection period of three days starts as soon as a copy of the signed purchase agreement has been made available to the buyer. The reflection period can last longer than three days if it ends on a Saturday, Sunday or generally recognized public holiday. Rules have been drawn up for this. The VBO realtor can indicate exactly when the cooling-off period runs.
You are only negotiating if the selling party responds to your offer by means of a counter offer. However, you are not yet negotiating if the selling broker indicates that he / she will discuss your offer with the seller.
