The Lease with Option to Buy agreement is a sophisticated legal instrument used in Belgian property transactions where parties wish to combine immediate occupancy through a lease with the future possibility of purchase. This document is particularly relevant when potential buyers need time to arrange financing, want to test the property's suitability, or prefer a gradual approach to property acquisition. It must comply with Belgian federal and regional property laws, including the Civil Code provisions on leases and sales, registration requirements, and regional housing regulations. The agreement typically includes detailed provisions on rent calculation, maintenance responsibilities, option exercise procedures, purchase price determination (often considering paid rent), and property transfer conditions. It's commonly used in both residential and commercial contexts, requiring careful consideration of tax implications and registration requirements under Belgian law.
