  -> Thank you Freek, glad you think so, clue is in 'over te gaan' I think anyhow
agree  Wim Jonckheere

agree  Tina Vonhof (X): en daar volgt dan ook betaling op.
1 hr
  -> Thank you, yes, indeed
neutral  Wiard Sterk: The word 'immovable' as a translation of 'onroerend' does not appear in english. It would just be referred to as property and the fact that the nature of this property has been stated previously, just 'property' would suffice.

Take possession of the aforementioned property / repossess the aforementioned property


Explanation:
To repossess is used when mortgage or loan companies take possession of a property, which was offered as surety against the loan/mortgage.

disagree  Terry Costin: it is definitely not about repossession it is about transfer (of ownership)
28 mins
  -> To take possession of the property, in other words. Why the disagreement if you choose the same term?
agree  LouisV (X): but not reposession
12 hrs
  -> Thanks. Not in the context of this short extract, I agree. It is not a voluntary transfer, however, but a measure forced through the failure of one party to honour an agreed transfer.
