Sale of your home
Are you selling your home? Please be aware that a chain clause applies to your home. This chain clause is included in the purchase agreement and must be passed on to the new owner upon sale.
Under this chain clause, the new owner is required to enter into an agreement with Linthorst Energy for the supply of heating, cooling and hot tap water. This obligation remains attached to the home and automatically passes to each subsequent owner.
We therefore ask you to inform your estate agent, solicitor and potential buyers of this obligation in good time. This will prevent surprises during the sales process and allow the new owner to arrange the necessary agreement in good time.
Do you have questions about the chain clause or the supply of heating, cooling and hot tap water? Please feel free to contact Linthorst Energy. We will be happy to help you.
Frequently asked questions:
Do I have to report that a chain clause applies to the home?
Yes. When selling the home, you must inform the buyer about the chain clause. It is also important that your estate agent and solicitor are aware of this.
What does the chain clause entail?
The chain clause stipulates that every new owner of the home is required to enter into an agreement with Linthorst Energy for the supply of heating, cooling and hot tap water.
Why does the new owner have to enter into an agreement?
The home is connected to a collective energy system for which Linthorst Energy is responsible. An agreement with Linthorst Energy for the supply of heating, cooling and hot tap water is therefore required in order to use these services.
When must the new owner register?
We advise the new owner to register with Linthorst Energy as soon as possible after the transfer, or preferably before the handover of the keys. This allows the administration to be processed in good time.
What happens if the new owner does not enter into an agreement?
As the obligation arises from the chain clause attached to the home, the new owner must still enter into an agreement with Linthorst Energy.
Where can the new owner register?
The new owner can easily register using the registration form on our website or contact Linthorst Energy.
Do I, as the seller, need to arrange anything else?
In addition to informing the buyer, we ask you to notify Linthorst Energy of the transfer of ownership as well, so that we can prepare the final bill correctly.
