Location of city villa or single-family house on 500 m2 plot - rectangular

I am fully aware of all this and it will also be my main point with the RA, that above all I want a finished house that is not hazardous to health or constantly in need of major repairs

How does it actually continue here? Are the bricklayers back on the construction site or is there a construction stop? The weather is currently a dream, to finish quickly?

I believe GÜ is waiting to see how I react. He wants written confirmation from me that I accept the defect as it is. He will not get that from me without further concessions. Which exactly these could be and what advantages and disadvantages will arise for me will be part of a legal consultation tomorrow afternoon...

How was your appointment actually?? Is it going properly now?

The lawyer wants to look at the contract first. I was too naive back then and wanted to move quickly in order to get the property at all. Therefore, I didn't thoroughly check everything at that time. So there might be a few catches in it. The GÜ has now declared a construction stop on his part until I approve the defect. Furthermore, he actually provided a formal clearance certificate from the structural engineer regarding the stability (although firstly addressed to him, secondly not mentioning the susceptibility of the plaster to cracking). I want to discuss with the lawyer what else could be extended (e.g. extended security retention). Nevertheless, scaffolding has now been delivered...

The lawyer first wants to take a look at the contract. Back then I was too naive and wanted to act quickly just to be able to get the property at all. Therefore, I didn’t check everything thoroughly at that time. So there might be a few tricks in there.

What does the property or the purchase contract have to do with the construction topics? You keep talking about the general contractor (GU/GÜ) and thus not about the developer. So the property or purchase contract is handled by the seller of the property and has nothing to do with the contractual conditions with the general contractor (GU/GÜ), right?

Or are you talking about the construction contract with the GU/GÜ? Even if so, it is already signed. If there is nothing fraudulent in it, just unfavorable for you, then that’s just how it is.

To be honest, based on your three lines it sounds like the lawyer just wants to cash in on irrelevant side issues via your builder’s legal protection insurance. Most builders probably will NOT conclude something like that and that’s an easy grab.

Now my free interpretation.....

First, he actually provided a formal certificate of no objection from the structural engineer regarding structural stability (however, first addressed to him, secondly not covering the plaster’s susceptibility to cracking).

That’s all you wanted. File it and move on. The bricklayers will probably piss on the plaster now anyway, but otherwise do decent work at obvious spots.

Plaster and crack susceptibility? Because of the botched jobs?
