1) The real estate transfer tax is due on the "property and house", see invoice from Nordanney. Some say that the house seller claims this is not the case, but they probably will never give it to you in writing. So be careful with statements from sellers.

I rather know the clause "if the tax office also wants property tax for the house, this is not part of the fixed price" or something similar. Of course, it is not excluded that the marketing materials say one thing and the contract says another ;)

Very good to know something like that, are all manufacturers so "opaque" in this regard or are there some to whom one could generally place more trust?

Trust no one, then you won't do anything wrong ;) There are always reports of people who build with a certain company for the second or third time and are then less suspicious. As a regular first-time builder, I would be cautious with trust. By the way, this is a point where you can already start your preparation. Buy a few books on understanding construction descriptions, financing, etc., and work through them. They cost €20 each and definitely help in better assessing offers.

Yes, I have also clicked through the advice section here and browsed a bit so far. Would that already be a good first point of reference for this?

I haven't found the suggested post by 11ant so far, I've come across the recommendation a few times in other threads now. Do you possibly have the thread title?

What was it about?

What was it about?

I think it was about the reference from you regarding property search, which I have also come across but maybe haven't found yet. I also believe that links are no longer allowed. :)
