Legal Assistance with House Sales - Legal Aid

Questioner

We have sold our house and the transfer at the notary is in 3 weeks. The buyer now comes here at every opportunity at the door to gain access to the home to provide with all kinds of excuses. They want to come by every now and then to go through the house with the aim of getting a click with the house. The day before Christmas when I had the flu and I They also came by feeling really sick. According to them, we had better do that find. To our request to then just put everything in to measure once so that it does not need to be done again later, they did not respond. Now, because of the upcoming move, we have the upper floor full of packed boxes and tomorrow they will come again to measure everything (for the third time!) and take pictures. Nothing is discussed with us. They act as if the house is already theirs and as if we no longer live there. Unashamedly trudging through our (bed)rooms and pulling open cupboards. We experience this as a huge invasion of our privacy. Do the buyers have the right to do so while the transfer has not yet taken place and we are essentially still the owners? We feel like we are no longer in control of our belongings and feel strange in our own home.

The buyer may only enter the house with your permission, but he has no right to do so. You can refuse.
