Hello,
Attention: Despite the owner's consent to the notary appointment and the preparation of the purchase contract, the owner can cancel or postpone the appointment at any time and without giving reasons. The owner is not contractually bound until the purchase contract has been signed.
This paragraph clearly regulates that you have to pay in any case if you sign this form. In this respect, I agree with Tox.
I would therefore have a second paragraph inserted stating that the costs of the contract draft are only to be borne by you if the notary appointment is prevented for reasons for which you alone are responsible. If the seller withdraws, the cost bill is his responsibility.
Hm, and that without a price indication? How does that fit with consumer law? [Polemics deleted]
Consumer law regularly reaches its limits when people sign contracts they do not understand.
Rhenish regards
