After house purchase, mail from the appraisal committee for property values

But is that checked? So do you have to include proof of the purchase amount? Otherwise, one could just state an exaggeratedly high price to get a better lending value in the future?

We received such a letter after the sale of our house in 2020 and assumed that it was only for statistical purposes. We could not answer all the questions exactly and then just did it "more or less".

But is that checked? So do you have to provide proof of the purchase amount?

I assume that if proof had to be attached, this would be mentioned.

No proof of the purchase price, the appraisal committee already receives a copy of the purchase contract from the notary! ;-)

Exactly. They already know about the sale anyway, that's why you receive the letter. It comes from an official source and must be answered, at least that's what I had googled back then. I also initially found it strange, but everything is in order. Under no circumstances would I provide false information or leave it unanswered.

But if they are going to get the contract anyway, why should anyone fill anything out?! I don't understand.
