Legal review of a purchase contract with land service

Hello everyone,

we are considering using the property service from Town & Country. This means you sign the purchase contract for a new build with Town & Country and then look for a plot of land for it. The idea is that Town & Country helps you with the land search. You then commit for at least 6 months.

There are pros and cons to this. I would like to have it legally reviewed. However, I find the lawyers from Bauherren-Bund quite expensive. Especially since it should be a contract that is known on the market. After all, Town & Country is a large company.

Therefore the question: Does anyone know recommended lawyers who do this at a reasonable price? Is there perhaps even one in the forum? And can anyone say anything about the property service from Town & Country? Would you recommend it or advise against it?

Thanks in advance! Gausek

My Opinion: Never do it - you commit yourself and the guys from Town & Country can't magically produce better/more plots of land.

House-building companies are constantly looking for plots; without them, they could close the company. In that sense, you haven't gained anything except a ticket in a game run by crooks and tricksters.

Just because they are also searching does not mean there are more properties available.

Do not sign!

Especially since it should be a contract that is known in the market. After all, Town & Country is a large company.

But not necessarily one you can trust 100%. It is, after all, a budget building company with its own contracts.

if you build with Town & Country you should also have the contract properly reviewed. if the Bund is already too expensive for you... oh dear... please just leave it

Could you please just provide factual answers and not only criticize Town & Country! We built with Town & Country and had 0.00000 problems with them. One should simply always apply common sense or have every contract reviewed. We also got our plot of land through Town & Country, but rather by chance, because we were searching and then discovered the offer from Town & Country. The plot was good and a house that suited us was found quickly. The purchase of the plot was then independent of Town & Country but directly from the municipality.

And what does your case:

We also got our plot through Town & Country ... The land purchase was then independent of Town & Country but directly from the municipality.

have to do with the OP's? nothing! The OP is supposed to sign a Town & Country contract subject to land, then will receive 10 mediocre to crap land offers. If the OP does not accept any of these plots, Town & Country will threaten with the contract penalty (usually 10%) according to the motto, "You probably don't want to build at all?"
