Separately define the basis for the seller’s continued occupation and a firm end date. Transfer of ownership does not complete physical handover. “Until another home is found” creates a risk of prolonged dispute.

Practical example

After registration the seller stays for two months. Decide whether occupation is paid or free and who bears responsibility for damage.

What to check

Set out keys, utility debts, remaining belongings and delay consequences. Under an appropriate agreement, part of the price may be retained until handover. Record meter readings and condition in the final handover document.
