So, before the draft purchase agreement, I sent the land seller an offer and plans of the house we want to build, and as already mentioned, he included this planning as an attachment in the draft purchase agreement. So is a linked transaction then excluded?
Yes, because you are free to choose your construction company.
Apart from that, I would not sign the purchase agreement as it was presented to you. Never. Not with a completely concrete plan. That would be a deal breaker for me. What if you rethink something – you become pregnant with twins before the building application and have to replan. You both get new job offers with 100% home office. Or so on and so forth.
And then the plan no longer fits.
Send the seller home with the contract.
The buyer undertakes to submit a building application concerning the purchase object within twelve weeks from today and to develop it within two years from today with a residential building according to the KfW 40 plus standard and in accordance with the building and planning law as well as the concept documents attached to this deed as Annex 1. The seller points out that the city of Castrop-Rauxel has enacted development plan no. 245H for the planning area, which is attached to the reference deed as Annex 3. Reference is made to the reference deed. The requirements of the development plan must be strictly observed by the buyer when planning his residential building. The buyer is aware that the buildability of the purchase object with the residential development he has specifically planned lies within his responsibility."
==> Deadline for the building application at least 6 months
==> Delete concept documents
==> Delete specifically planned development.
==> So only and exclusively to build a house KfW 40 according to the development plan...
Otherwise, do not buy.
