Wijziging van artikel 417, vierde lid, en van artikel 427 van Boek 7 van het Burgerlijk Wetboek in verband met het tegengaan van het berekenen van dubbele bemiddelingskosten

This Dutch bill amends two articles of Book 7 of the Dutch Civil Code, which govern brokerage (bemiddeling) contracts. The aim is to stop intermediaries from charging double commissions, where a broker is paid by both the buyer and the seller for the same transaction. Based on the title alone, the change targets the fee structure of brokerage agreements rather than broader market rules. Consumers who use brokers or intermediaries, such as people buying or selling homes, would be most directly affected, as would brokers and agencies operating in the Netherlands. The precise obligations and transitional rules are not visible from the metadata and would need to be checked in the full bill text.
