Draft Notary Contract

Yes, if it’s my "desired plot", I don’t care! It’s "only" €4,200, so 1% of an average house construction. And the plot price is quite low when viewed in €.

As a developer, I would wish for such clients. "Sorry, the costs for the roof truss will now be €4,200 more than planned." Now the client: "No problem, go ahead!" Because you all probably want a roof anyway... :confused::D

The seller is actually happy now to definitely (almost) have a buyer.

And no one has time for nothing, not even the seller: Standing at the notary for free and not getting a signature.

I already assume that the seller will act as he said and he certainly has no problem writing an email about this...

Aside from that: When building, there is always a lack of money (later on), so it’s all the better if you were able to "save" 4,000 in advance. :-)

I see it the same way. My fear is two following things: 1. A first draft of the contract has been developed by the notary and the seller does not agree to the clause contained in it that he takes over the commission. Consequence: We have to pay the commission or it doesn’t come to a conclusion, but then we have to bear the notary costs for the contract draft.

2. The seller signs everything, including the clause that he bears the commission. Later, however, he does not bear the costs and the real estate agent still gets the money from us.

Somehow the interested parties and buyers are always the ones screwed over, could that be? No matter how you twist and turn it :)

The seller never seems to suffer anything, oddly enough... Especially with the money in the end :)

A knave who thinks evil about it... :rolleyes:

Just wait until you enter the construction phase....

However, you cannot compare a craftsman's contract with buying the plot of land — there are plenty of craftsmen, but the "desired plot" only exists once. By the way, we paid approx. €40k more for the plot than planned :( — but in the end, it became "the plot." I don’t want to sound presumptuous, but in the end, you simply have to decide digitally — buy and possibly pay a bit more or keep looking. As T21150 writes, try your luck with a written confirmation. There don’t seem to be many other interested parties with a price reduction of almost 10%.

OT: :-) We also paid 40K more back then for the desired plot of land than planned.

Regarding point 2: I consider that unlikely.

Point 1: Possible, yes. But I would assume that it works. My first commitments back then were also verbal. And the seller - reputable - adhered to everything exactly.

Best regards

I would personally ask the seller + agent to confirm that to me in writing.

Isn't it enough if all of this is stated in the notary contract, whose draft all parties read beforehand anyway? Side agreements are probably void in any case.
