The "Breyne Law"

I notice that many construction companies and building promoters do not take the Breyne Act very closely or do not even follow it or have too little knowledge of it. However, the Breyne Act is very clear and all crimes/offences that are committed can be punished.

​

Some examples

​​

• In a sales agreement one very often mentions a penalty for delay between 20/30€ per calendar day, which clearly in most cases does not correspond to a rental value per month of a house or apartment...even if it is signed by bothparties...this will be according to the "Breyne Act".considered unwritten, and there are clear sanctions in return.​

​

• Too often it is demanded to pay the final invoice in full before the provisional onedelivery...while all agreed works have not even been fully executed yet...law of July 9, 1971 is clear...and BW. Art.14 Anyone who directly or indirectly violates the provisions of Article 10 by demanding or accepting payments shall be punished with imprisonment from eight days to one month and a fine.

​

      At our insistence...follow now at all construction promoters and construction companies from which we deliver

      done_cc781905-5cde-3194-bb5c-15f38-bb5c-15f38_bad5cand those who didn't follow this...this provision de Wet Breyne Art.10 en

BW.art.14...(payments).

​

• See table in "Law Breyne" in parts above...
   

The provisions of the law are mandatory (one cannot deviate from them).

​

If you read all this then I understand that you are shocked by this and ask the question ... what should we do now?

​

I leave it to everyone to make their own final decision…and what you do with it…the idea is to find a balance that both parties can agree with…because the most important thing is that you ... your home after signing it ... the transfer can take place with very good and clear agreements made in advance!

 

Facing each other with knives drawn and blowing bridges is never a good thing…and going to court for something not worth pursuing are just both losers…but all the information I am giving here is meant that you know you have more rights than you think...as well as your duties...and this on both sides.

​

​If both parties make good agreements in advance...then together you avoid most problems afterwards.
