Good evening experts and fellow sufferers,
I don’t know if this topic fits here....
I am currently in the following situation. I found a house through an agent with a purchase price of 380,000 euros without the photovoltaic system with 9.1 kWp, which was newly installed in 2017 for 14,000 euros.
I offered 365,000 euros for the house including the photovoltaic system, which the seller rejected. He wants 380,000 euros for everything. That is his counteroffer.
The agent wanted 18,000 euros, which I negotiated down to 13,900 euros.
Now the problem.
The house has been empty for 4 months and is being sold through the agent. I found out that the seller terminated his contract with the agent; the contract still runs until the end of October. Apparently, the seller privately found an interested buyer who would pay 380,000 euros without an agent. Because through the agent, the desired price of 380,000 euros cannot and will not be achieved. Otherwise, the house would have been sold long ago.
From a legal standpoint, I have no chance to buy the house without the agent, even after the contract period ends, without having to pay agent fees.
I spoke with the agent earlier, saying that it would be a win-win situation for both of us (agent & me) if he demanded less money for his commission so that I can pay the seller more, otherwise both of us walk away empty-handed. And above all, the agent has 0 euros profit from the whole matter after 6 months.
What do you think, how should I continue to negotiate?
3,000 euros for his commission and 10,900 euros added to the purchase price? So about 376,000 euros.
