#Philoddard. That's correct.

Like Michael, I don't fully understand the context, but am I right that the bank has a charge on the property because it has loaned money to the existing owner? If so, this will have to be released before the new owner can buy it.

Dank je Michael. Uitleg: Het onroerend goed (winkelcentrum) dat wordt aangekocht door koper A van verkoper B is bezwaard met een lening van de bank dus hiervoor zijn zekerheden gevraagd door die bank. Koper A wil, na uitvoering van due diligence, dat de bank de zekerheden vrijgeeft op moment van de aankoop.

maybe something like: "subject to release of the securities" (seems to be correct, linguistically, but I don't 100% understand what is going on here)

so a certain party is buying commercial property, and the bank is going to release certain securities (to whom?) at the moment of purchase, but … the bank has not yet formally agreed that said party can actually buy the property if the bank releases the securities (i.e., if the party purchases (or tries to purchase) the property subject to the bank releasing the securities)
