vaadekirje

Vaadekirje is an Estonian term that translates to "viewing letter" or "viewing request letter." It is a formal document used in the context of real estate transactions, particularly when a potential buyer wishes to inspect a property before making an offer. The vaadekirje serves as a request to the property owner or their agent to schedule a viewing.

The content of a vaadekirje typically includes essential details such as the buyer's contact information, the address of the property they wish to view, and a proposed date and time for the viewing. It may also briefly mention the buyer's interest in the property. The purpose is to initiate communication and arrange a convenient time for the inspection.

In Estonia, a vaadekirje is a common practice in the real estate market. While not always legally binding, it demonstrates a serious intent from the buyer and helps to streamline the process of property viewing. It allows sellers to manage viewings efficiently and ensures that potential buyers have an opportunity to assess the property's condition, layout, and suitability for their needs. The exchange of a vaadekirje often precedes more formal offer documents.
