How do you assess this house? How much budget will be necessary?

Where does the pessimism come from? It's only been about a week since you got in touch with the folks over [ImmoScout], hasn't it? Even though people are used to instant responses these days, not everyone replies "instantly". If the house has been listed for that long, the sellers probably aren't in a hurry to sell.

Today a friend told me that his cousin has a notary appointment for a house next week..

The house is this house. So it should actually be settled.

Ah yes. But you can still cancel or give notice. I don't think this behavior is good. But unfortunately, that's how it is.

Good luck with your continued search!

Good luck with the further search!

I see it the same way, but maybe he’s keeping the other interested parties “warm.”

Thanks, we’ll just keep looking!

Something will definitely come along again - maybe even something much better.
In this sense, good luck with your continued search! Surely something nice will be found for you.

Thank you very much!

We are in the "fortunate" position of living in a semi-detached house that we bought three years ago.

But we would like to move into a detached house. However, it's not a must, so everything is fine..
