Hello,
14 days correspond to the legal time frame from the sending of the preliminary draft to the actual notary appointment. You posted on 19.02.13, so why didn’t you use the time and already consult a lawyer specializing in contract law?
I rather think that you are afraid of your own courage, because you had plenty of time to react. By the way, the notary is obligated to both parties and will not present you with a contract that disadvantages you unilaterally!
Anyway, if all of this is too fast for you, then cancel the appointment. More than "back to square one" can hardly come out of it ;)
Best regards
we want to buy a house, have already received a draft contract by email from the notary (on 14.02.) I just spoke with the real estate agent, he suggested a notarization appointment between 25.02. and 28.02. as the date at the notary. if we should sign on 28.02., it would be just 14 days since the draft contract was sent.

the problem is that the current owner of the house is abroad, and will be in Germany between 25.02 and 28.02., but this is too short notice for us (we want to have the contract checked, and must work between 25.02. and 28.02.) ... we want to have the contract read by a professional, is it more advisable here to choose a specialist lawyer or to contact the responsible notary?
