> you have to physically go to the notary and have a person READ OUT all the statutes to you.

I guess, you've never bought a house in the Netherlands then, because it's the same exact process

That is beyond hilarious lol. Finally found something the UK does better than the Netherlands ;)

		I never understood why people focus on this "reading aloud" so much. It's not so much about the reading out loud, it's about making sure you understand (so that you cannot later claim "but I didn't know about this, nobody explained it to me properly")
