If the actual living area deviates by more than ten percent, this constitutes a material defect. The consequence: The buyer has a right to repayment and can, if applicable, withdraw from the purchase, demand a partial repayment, or demand a reduction of the purchase price.
The exact size must be recorded in the purchase contract, because only this contractual agreement counts. In short: The seller is usually liable for the accuracy of the living area information and should therefore be sure that it is correct.
And here you are referring to case law on RENTAL AGREEMENTS; in the case of purchase, a stricter standard usually applies, sometimes five percent.
