Buying a house but the seller requires the right of residence - How to proceed?

I can understand that you really want to own a property, but guys like the seller, who think they're especially clever, I would still avoid. The situation can be resolved fairly, as suggested by . All other options disadvantage you too much, so he should really find another fool.

Backing out of the offer just like that, even though you finally found the dream house - I think that's easier said than done.

My first thought here would be: ask the bank. They’ve probably dealt with this before and might offer a solution that both parties can live with?

correct, deducting the purchase price is a win-win

It must be negotiable with a bank that, as long as one doesn't yet live in the new acquisition and therefore has rent to pay, only interest is paid, and repayment only starts upon moving in. Karsten
