House offer with an aftertaste

I once heard a saying about this that I found quite funny yet true: A diagnosed paranoia does not protect you from the fact that someone might actually have it in for you...

The "rationalists" should please take into account that the OP is not one of them, meaning not only sober-objective-factual. Therefore, the respective comments don't help him at all.

My father-in-law died in the house where I also lived (however, he was ill). Although I had thought beforehand that this might burden me, it was not the case. I think most problems (subjectively) really come from the suicide (not from death itself), because to outsiders it seems so meaningless, they don't understand why. I don't have any advice; I admit it would make me uneasy too. Although it would make the matter "easier" for me if I had never known the person at all. But since there is also an alternative, I would rather keep my hands off in doubt – even if there is no rational reason for it.

But he asked in a public forum how one finds it oneself. So, not only answers that one wants to hear will come. Only he himself can remove the uneasy feeling, and no one of those writing here. From that point of view, that would make the whole question pointless. For me, it would also be just a house like any other. Whether, how, and why someone died there would be irrelevant because you can't change it yourself anyway. If I had an uneasy or bad feeling about something like that, I would probably leave it. In the end, you never get rid of the feeling, sell again shortly after, and have a lot of money in the form of additional costs wasted. That would be additionally annoying.

The new house is supposed to cost 375TEuro? Including land and turnkey?

Yes. Modest 125 sqm living space on 500 sqm land without a basement. In our more rural region, that price is still possible. Nevertheless, the real estate market is extremely tight. Good properties are rare and are sold privately. The last public, attractive offer here in town was at least 2 years ago; we had almost given up on it. Therefore, of course, you have to think carefully whether to pass on it. Until the contract signing for the land in January, there will be 99.9 percent nothing comparable coming onto the market, I am very sure about that.

We have contacted the seller to say that we would like to go through it again calmly. Maybe the uneasy feeling will ease a bit on the second attempt.

I have always told our children: If someone comes along who knows the "one and only right" answer, then please look at it very critically and closely

And now your poor children are constantly ready for a break even before the second breakfast, because the number of people claiming to know the "(unfortunately only) simple solution for absolutely everything" has increased immeasurably?

And now your poor children are constantly ready to escape to a deserted island before the second breakfast, because the number of people who claim to know the "(unfortunately only) simple solution for really everything" has risen to infinity?

By the second breakfast, they're already gone :D, although they have long left the parental cave anyway. Of course, there are often simple, clear, and naturally also only solutions, no question. But to tell a struggling family that their thinking/feeling is basically nonsense and that you yourself have the only solution up your sleeve... for such cases, I stick with my version and often wonder whether that still counts as self-confidence or...
