What does the purchase contract even say about the issue of a land charge? Is it, for example, only a permission to apply for the registration of a land charge before you are listed as the owner in the land register? Maybe it is also a standard template. You can tell the notary that this section is not necessary for you. That is why you receive the draft for review. Without such a section, you might have a problem if the purchase price is partly financed by a loan. The bank wants to see the registered land charge first before the loan is disbursed. The seller, however, wants to see the money first before the change of ownership is registered in the land register. In my case, at least, I was able to have a land charge registered before the change of ownership was recorded in my name. However, that may also be a special case because I bought an inherited house from my parents and we waived the usual frills (transfer of ownership, money flow through a notary account, etc.). I don’t even know if this is otherwise a common clause.
