is the seller private or a company?
Whether the real estate agent is on vacation doesn’t matter to you, you know the seller, right? Then you inform the agent after the notarized contract and he will send you the invoice, done.
I don’t quite understand your scenario. Which bank did you choose now if I may ask? What term?
Have you had encumbrances, building restrictions, and access situation (right of way!) checked by an expert? Besides the certificate of no objection, I would also have a right of way of at least 3 meters wide including use by trucks written as a condition in the purchase contract. If either of these fails, the contract will be rescinded.
As is typical in metropolitan areas, I have only known the offer for 4 days!! Therefore, I currently neither know the seller nor have I had enough time for the exact easements and building restrictions etc.
I already know the property because I had briefly dealt with it in the past, so I then contacted the bank with the exposé available to me. Together we also considered which term to choose, as you already mentioned, it is always a risk assessment regarding the interest rate. The bank wants to give me a decision on Monday.
If the seller is a business operator, I would have 2 weeks anyway, as I do not want to be pressured by the agent in order not to make a bad purchase here. I have inquired about development costs from the city, and they will give me a rough estimate early next week.
