Allegro-Haus GmbH experiences

@Condor

where are you looking?
Only in DD or also outside?

We are still looking preferably within the city limits. We are already making various preparatory thoughts about this and that.

Among other things: If a house to be built can only be purchased together with a plot of land as a combination, then this is unfavorable in terms of incidental costs but simply cannot be changed.

An acquaintance of mine has purchased such a property and is now about to sign a construction and service description for the house with his special requests.

Does the so-called construction service description actually have to include the floor plan and the size of the plot? Both are to be regarded as parts of the purchase object. He fears that after he has signed, changes could still be made to the plot.

If he no longer agrees with this and wants to withdraw in the extreme case, would he incur costs in the form of a contractual penalty due to the creation of the construction service description?

Are there any experiences regarding this? It is definitely interesting for all other home builders as well!

Thanks for the feedback

Hello,

Does the so-called construction service description actually have to include the floor plan and the size of the property? Both are to be regarded as a purchase object. He fears that after he has signed, some changes could still be made to the property. If he no longer agrees with this and, in the extreme case, wants to withdraw because of that, he would incur costs in the form of a contractual penalty due to the preparation of the construction service description.

A clear no.

The construction service description is - as the name suggests - a construction/service description; it comprises - in the best case - a detailed listing of the services to be agreed upon - supplemented by an additional agreement in which additional or deviating or supplementary items from the construction service description are recorded and signed by both parties.

The property belongs in the contract for work and services (the construction service description is only a part of the contract), and all relevant data about the property - before surveying, the size is given as "approx." - should be mentioned as part of the contract.

If it is a genuine property developer project, both the actual contract for work and services and the ZV as an annex to the notarial contract, which mainly revolves around the land purchase, are mandatory.

Kind regards

A clear no.

The plot belongs in the construction contract (the description of construction services is only a contractual component) and in that contract all relevant data about the plot - before surveying the size is given as "approx." - should be mentioned as a contractual component.

Thanks, I will pass it on to my acquaintance like that.

After this post was published yesterday, it disappeared into thin air again today. Therefore, once again as a warning to everyone. We wanted to build a single-family house in 2012 with Allegro-Haus as the developer. However, everything was somewhat shady from the very beginning, so one didn’t really feel taken care of. But what can you do, plots in the Dresden area are rare and we were glad to have found something with Allegro-Haus. We paid a reservation fee of €2000 for a parcel. As we later found out, this is not allowed anyway according to the case number III ZR 21/10 of the Federal Court of Justice. After half a year had passed, it was time to sign the contract. However, beforehand, a so-called construction and service description (construction service description) must be signed. This must clearly describe the installed components and materials used in and around the house. Even in the construction service description, this is pointed out in the first point. Ultimately, this led to a scandal, because Allegro-Haus could or would not provide satisfactory answers to specific outstanding questions or even ignored some unanswered. Multiple repeated inquiries were without success. This was totally incomprehensible to us, as it concerned several thousand euros in optional services, which we wanted to additionally purchase from the developer. We also accepted inflated prices because we wanted to keep everything under one roof. You should at least be able to learn which elements from which company are being installed in the house. Not to mention functional descriptions. It is repeatedly advised to look at the construction service description carefully and, if necessary, consult an advisor. Because what isn’t listed also won’t be built!!! Maybe they were afraid that the real prices could be found out over the internet? After all, they offered us that if no signature was made, they would part ways with us. In other words, kick us out. We were stunned, you can’t buy a pig in a poke!!! Half a year of planning and looking forward to a home was gone. Since the trust relationship with the developer was already damaged, we ultimately gave up and demanded our reservation fee back. Many thanks Allegro-Haus, we have learned a lot from you and want to warn other interested parties against too much naivety.

Recently, Bauexperte wrote a nice sentence... Other mothers also have beautiful daughters. Be glad that you came out like this, and not with a contractual penalty.
