What does "vrij op naam" (VON) mean?

Vrij op naam (VON) means the seller pays the transfer costs, such as transfer tax (overdrachtsbelasting) and the notary’s deed of transfer, so they are already included in the asking price. VON is common with new-build homes (nieuwbouw). It is the opposite of “kosten koper” (k.k.), where the buyer pays these costs on top of the price.
