Good afternoon @reeflings,
Following the call with the notary this afternoon, he has requested that we incorporate all remaining changes and send him the statutes for a final review before signing.
We touched upon his fees and he referred to the rates practiced by his office, which have already been communicated ( @reef-finance - I couldn’t find that information on Next-cloud - not sure if it’s stored there or maybe reserved for full members only). This review/rereading of the statutes would still be included in this package as long as we do not request extensive legal feedback from his side.
Some other remarks he made during the call that are relevant to the “société simple”:
- He advises us to have someone with a legal background review our contracts before signing them. He has someone in mind and will get back to us after checking if this person is available.
- He highlights that the work related to the common parts of the building will need to be handled separately (via the syndic of the Owners’ Association, which will come into existence when we divide the plot). See the information available in this document: 240628_Notaire_Questions étapes achat terrain. When I asked if we could deviate from this provision of the co-ownership law during the construction phase (as other groups have done in the past, based on reading their statutes, but these are over 10 years old, and I believe the law has changed since then), he said it is not possible.
- On the issue of bookkeeping, he reminds us that we can stick to simplified bookkeeping. He suggested getting in touch with the co-housing Vosberg in Wezembeek-Oppem, who are managing it on their own without the help of a professional accountant.
- He will be on vacation next week (1-7 July) and between 15-30 August. His assistant will be away between 8-21 July.
