Land with construction obligation = + 20% market value!

Hello,

we have purchased a plot of land without any builder obligation, but with a construction obligation within the next 3 years.

On the invoice from the notary, the market value of the plot has now been increased by 20% due to the construction obligation.

However, this was not mentioned at the signing of the contract!

Accordingly, the fees are now higher as well; is the real estate transfer tax now also calculated based on the increased market value?

What is the justification for this increase?

To my knowledge, according to the new notary fee schedule, this is correct; he calculates the market value as the basis for his invoice = 100% and additionally the construction obligation = 20% of the market value extra. Therefore, no increased property transfer tax, as this is calculated on the purchase price of the property.

I would ask exactly this question to the notary.

If this is a normal procedure, I don't want to bother the notary with this and will accept these fees. It would just be bad if the [Grunderwerbsteuer] also increased by 20%, that would be quite a bit more than calculated!

You pay the notary - why should you bother him? And even if you do - it will neither make him more expensive nor cheaper.

Cheaper already, if you can convince him with good arguments that the assumed market value should actually be lower.

Why has the VW suddenly increased? Does the notary's assumption agree with the [loan value appraisal] of the bank regarding the property value?

How large is the property? How wide, how deep? What is the standard land value? Is the property already developed?
