BAFA funding depends on the form "Confirmation of the Developer"

We also chased the form a bit longer with our BU.
To whom did you pay the invoice for the heating system? If it went to the GU, then they have to fill out the form for you.
What is their reason for not wanting to fill it out?

Did you discuss with them before the construction that BAFA funding would be used?
We had that in the contract with the GU; it said for the air-water heat pump that BAFA funding is available for that part.
In our case, the problem was ultimately that the form from the specialist company (issued by the heating installer who installs the air-water heat pump) was stored in a folder in our house, but the GU needed this confirmation of installation – before that, they could/would not fill out the form. However, this was communicated to us as well, so we were able to clarify it.

No, unfortunately I do not have an individual invoice for the air-to-water heat pump, so it is not possible via self-award. I only received a cost statement and the total invoice, which also includes the air-to-water heat pump.

My last resort would be to delete the word "property developer" and instead write "DFH Haus GmbH" each time. Whether that will be accepted, I do not know.

The money went to DFH. They only don’t want to fill it out because of the word "Bauträger". No, it was not contractually stipulated; I only found out shortly before the measure started that such funding exists and then applied for everything myself. The specialist contractor’s declaration was not a problem at all; it is currently only due to the missing signature of our house construction company.

Oh dear... you’ve probably already tried calling them through and discussing/explaining the situation to them, that BAFA simply formulated a form in bureaucratic German and the designation actually doesn’t matter at all? Otherwise, you’d almost have to consider taking legal action. After all, it’s presumably a five-digit amount for you as well. Our BU signed it, even though they were only general contractors and not a "Bauträger". Strictly speaking (in my opinion) the wording on the BAFA form is simply wrong/inaccurate. But I don’t understand why the DFH is making such a fuss about it.

I completely agree with you, but they are obstructing — instead they sent me alternative confirmation letters, which BAFA does not accept.

I doubt that legal action is possible — both of them, i.e. BAFA and DFH, simply don’t have appropriate forms that are accepted by both — which I can only describe as ridiculous in principle. But yes, it’s about a five-figure amount that could be lost because of the single word “developer.” Accordingly, my frustration right now is quite high.

I can understand the BU not wanting to fill out a "Bauträger" confirmation if it is not a developer. After all, their input tax deduction entitlement depends on it.

If the HSL subcontractor of my main contractor had not dropped out, I would have had my main contractor issue a separate invoice only for the relevant items (heat pump, possibly ventilation) and then fill out and sign (stamp) the specialist contractor declaration. In my opinion, that is the correct procedure.
