Development costs included in the purchase price?!

Hello everyone,

I am about to purchase a plot of land and now have the draft purchase contract. It contains the following excerpt:

The costs of initial development are included in the purchase price. Except for the costs of the respective house connections; these are borne by the buyer. The respective house connection basically consists of the connection of the distribution network with the customer system and starts at the main line of the street network system. In particular, this includes: - Laying of the drinking and wastewater pipes (pre-laying) in the public street area and - the provision of fire water are carried out at the expense of the developer and are included in the purchase price. Also included in the purchase price are the costs of engineering planning for the laying of electric power, natural gas, and telecommunications and their coordination during the construction phase of joint installation. The construction costs for the development are paid by the buyer through their monthly billing by the utility provider.

Until now, the assumption was that the plot is fully developed. Due to the last paragraph, this does not seem to be entirely the case. The last sentence confuses me a lot. Can anyone tell me what amount of construction costs one should expect, which are then billed monthly?

Thank you very much!

I understand that the costs are covered by the monthly base price for your water.

I understand it the same way. The supply network for fresh and wastewater, as well as the planning and coordination costs for electricity/gas/telecom, are included in the purchase price. The costs for electricity/gas/telecom lines on public land are covered by the respective base fees.

Thank you, that sounds plausible. However, how high the corresponding amounts are monthly and for what duration is rather a surprise, right?

The respective supplier can certainly provide you with more precise information on that than we can here. ;-)

Good point, thanks :-)
