Hello everyone,
we are currently checking some clauses in the notary contract draft for the purchase of a building plot from the municipality and are wondering which clause would be "more advantageous" for us:
1.
"Claims and rights of the buyers due to a material defect of the property are excluded, unless the seller acts intentionally."
or rather
2.
"The rights of the buyer due to a material defect of the property and the building are excluded. Exceptions are claims for damages resulting from injury to life, body, or health, insofar as the seller is responsible for the breach of duty, as well as claims for compensation of other damages based on an intentional or grossly negligent breach of duty by the seller. A breach of duty by the seller is equivalent to that of a legal representative or a vicarious agent."
The notary said both would be possible. The first sentence should be legally sufficient, as it concerns a completely new agricultural plot for which there is a development plan.o_O
If the first is not 100% legally compliant after all, would that be an advantage for us buyers in case of damage?
Can someone assess this?
Many thanks in advance:)
