Hello,


It is _always_ easy for outsiders to give _good_ advice; after all, it has no consequences for the responders. So please do not rely exclusively on the fact that the answers are also practical.

To obtain a title is, in my opinion, the right way. It secures your claim for 30 years if the claim from the title including interest + costs is not paid; hope famously dies last and the costs are manageable. However, you should free yourself from the idea that it could serve you - in whatever form - as leverage.

There are many reasons _why_ the neighbor "might" have "no" money; I think I do not need to list them here. I also agree with you that it is painful that you will have to pay the neighbor’s court and attorney fees. However, the question of proportionality, as well as quality of life, stands against it, and in the end: is it worth it?

The thought of "escalation" is of course understandable, but you should decide this calmly with your lawyer. She can provide you with good stories about how such - lengthy - proceedings usually end. Better a nasty end then no end.

Rhenish greetings

Hello,

thank you for the opinions. I think I'll first find out what the next steps would be and what options the neighbor has to take action against them.

Then I can better estimate how much time, money, and nerves this will still cost us.

At least it's only our own attorney fees that we have to bear, so the feeling of having thrown money away is not quite as strong (since it ultimately did have some effect).

Hello!

Has your story already come to an end?

Were you able to finish building your house "in peace"?

Hello,

the construction is still ongoing, currently we are waiting for frost-free nights so that the exterior plastering can continue.

Regarding the neighbor, there has been no new development, the issuance of the title has been requested by our lawyer, we will not pursue the enforcement for now ... there are enough other things to do in the coming weeks and months

Hello,
Thank you very much for the descriptions of your construction project and the lawsuit against the district office.
Unfortunately, we are in a pretty similar situation :(
Is your house standing now? Were you able to establish a reasonably good neighborhood with the neighbor?
