Do you need the building approval from the building authority?

Hello,

I am in the process of buying a house. Low energy house built in 2014 in Rhineland-Palatinate. Now I have heard from my expert that I should request the construction acceptance confirmation from the owner. The owner told me that it does not exist. The building authority only carries out sporadic inspections after the construction end is reported by the builder. He said that the land registry office measured and registered everything and nothing else is necessary. Now I am a bit puzzled. Is this really the case?

I have zero knowledge about building.

Who can explain to me exactly how this really is?

Kind regards,
Paul

You, I have no idea.

But I would insist on _all_ documents. After all, there is still a warranty on the piece of jewelry. This also includes the acceptance protocols. If he no longer has the documents, I assume he has something to hide about the house.

Regards, Yvonne

The acceptance protocol has nothing to do with the building authority. If the building authority does not approve, no documents will result from it...

Hehe... I got that confused, as you can see. Anyway, my first sentence still counts.

Hello,

I don't understand. Please explain further. After construction, you have to notify the building authority that you are finished. Or not?
How are, for example, separate construction documents supposed to be checked?
