I would be interested to know how high the bill for the inspection was and how much they estimated for a renovation. Maybe you could write that down sometime, that would be great.
Thank you for the information, then I already have a very rough idea. We will probably have the inspection done next year and then we will see. Fortunately, we have only about 4-5 meters between the house and the border to the front. However, our wastewater runs through the basements of 2 neighbors and the pipes only meet in the garden of the next-but-one neighbor. No idea how something like that is regulated if something needs to be done. Especially since our street was completely renovated about 10 years ago. They could have done it properly then and given each house its own connection. We are the single-family house and then there are 2 terraced houses and the other single-family house, and all are connected in the wastewater system.
Ah, I just checked again. I had already researched this before buying the house, among other things, so several years ago. In the meantime, at least for our federal state, it has been clarified from public sources that the obligation to inspect by date X does not apply to private households. Ok, I didn’t know that, I hadn’t checked again in the meantime.
