French to English Law/Patents Real Estate
From a Belgian property sale deed
suivant acte reçu par le Notaire. and later .
Tel et ainsi que cet immeuble figure et se trouve décrit à l'acte de base et ses annexes dressés par le Notaire
Is it simply deed received (if so, why received?) and basic deed (how is this different from the final deed?)
Help appreciated.

Discussion

writeaway Jan 23, 2019:
Don't think so It's much more than just a warranty deed
Andrew Bruch Mar 5, 2013:
This sounds a lot like a "General Warranty Deed" Coming late to the discussion, I know... you might phrase it "General warranty deed incorporating a title search"

it's a deed with a description and entire historical background of the property to be sold

This is 100% Belgian-it is the major document that is given to each new owner of the property. It contains all the specifications about the property, dates, previous owners etc. It must be presented to the Notary and is then given to the new owners. No property can be sold without this.

FWIW in (Be) Dutch it\'s called a basisakte. And not one of my Belgian dicos has made any attempt to translate it!!

Perhaps this is only for appartments (co-propriété) but since that\'s all I\'ve ever lived in here, I assumed it was for all property (maybe there isn\'t one for houses?)

1. L\'acte de base
L\'acte de base proprement dit est un document notarié, constitué au moment de la division de l\'immeuble, généralement par le promoteur. C\'est généralement un document épais et indigeste, reprenant dans un jargon de notaire les origines de la copropriété, ainsi qu\'une description des différents appartements.
L\'acte de base contient les quotités (ou tantièmes ou millièmes) attachées à chaque lot privatif, ainsi que des clés de répartition des charges L\'acte de base contient généralement un programme juridique et des clauses de responsabilités des différents intervenants.
