Kortemeestraat 7

If you are looking for an attractive home with adjoining shop/office space in the historic centre of Bergen op Zoom, then this characteristic property at Kortemeestraat 7 is definitely something for you.

The property has a monumental façade that falls under the Dutch Protected Cityscape. It was built in 1504 and has since been rebuilt several times.
In 2000, the upper section of the house, which comprises 3 floors, was completely restored by architect Jan Weyts. Many of the original elements were preserved in the process. It features a spacious living room, as well as a family kitchen and 4 bedrooms.

The rear of the house offers a unique view of the old-French-style garden wing of the magnificent, largest monument of Bergen op Zoom: the Markiezenhof.
The rooftop terrace of the house is approx. 32 m² and borders the French garden of this museum.

The shop/office space on the ground floor was renovated in 2000.

The name of the house, De Cleyne Meebael, refers to the dye that comes from the madder that Berg pottery is also made from.

Conditions of sale:
Asbestos clause
In homes built before 1 July 1993, there is a risk that materials containing asbestos may have been incorporated in such things as (smoke) ducts, roofs/roof panelling, partition walls, facade panels, or close to heating and hot water appliances and in floor coverings. The seller is not aware that any materials containing asbestos have been used, the potential risk of this is transferred to the purchasing party after conclusion of the sale, which is specified in the deed of sale.

Age clause
The age clause will be included in the deed of sale for this home because the property is more than 200 years old, which means that the requirements for the construction quality are considerably lower than for new homes. As a result, the buyer cannot claim that this property deviates from the current building regulations.

NEN2580 Measurement Guidelines
The Measurement Guidelines are based on the NEN2580. The Measurement Guidelines are intended to provide a more uniform method of taking measurements in order to give an indication of the usable area. The Measurement Guidelines do not fully rule out any discrepancies in measurement results, due to differences in interpretation, or rounding off, or limitations in the carrying out of measurements, for instance. The basic premise is always "what you see is what you buy" and the object information has a lower priority.

The purchase agreement is only legally valid after it has been signed
A verbal agreement between the private seller and private buyer is not legally binding. This means that there is only a legally valid purchase once the private seller and private buyer have signed the purchase agreement. This stems from Article 7:2 of the Dutch Civil Code. A confirmation of the verbal agreement by email or a forwarded draft of the purchase agreement is also not considered a legally valid agreement.

Security deposit or bank guarantee
As Agnes Tomesen Makelaardij is affiliated with the NVM, use is made of the purchase agreement model as formulated by the NVM, VBO, the Dutch Consumers' Association (Consumentenbond) and the Vereniging Eigen Huis (Homeowners’ Association). Included as standard in this deed of sale is a security deposit or a bank guarantee amounting to 10% of the purchase price.

Sales documentation
This documentation has been carefully prepared by us, however, as a rule we are largely dependent on third parties for the accuracy of the information provided and therefore neither the seller nor we accept any liability.
