Price increase despite fixed price!

We have also received a similar letter, we are first seeking legal advice. Who else is in a similar situation? How much of a surcharge is conceivable? 10-20%? We could still get out of the contract, but the question is whether it is worth it.

Once again, away from the doomsday mood. Some people have nothing else to do. When did you sign? Date on the contract?

At the beginning of the year, before the invasion!

Do that.
But it won't help much if the company refers to Section 313. According to a relatively recent Federal Court of Justice ruling, this is a reason that allows the company to make adjustments. I strongly assume that a war with its consequences is a disruption of the basis of the business.

Below is a legal assessment from a law firm. It may also be of interest to others affected.

At the beginning of the year, before the invasion!

The situation was already just as unpredictable as it is today. The price level at the beginning of February was immense, the price of wood was pretty much at its peak. Steel was already expensive as well. No idea why the company should calculate such different prices today. Such steps are more understandable with contracts from 2021. I find it interesting. In the conversation, refer once to the high prices from February 2022. The price of wood has been falling for weeks. Your turnkey house including the basement is already pretty good in terms of price.

Do it. But it won’t bring much if the company relies on 313. According to a relatively recent BGH ruling, it is a reason that allows the company to make adjustments. I strongly assume that a war with the consequences is likely a disruption of the basis of the contract.

But the war is not here. Basically, building materials are available, many just more expensive and some only with longer waiting times. In view of last year’s price explosions, larger price fluctuations and increases as well as delivery problems had to be expected in January as well.

But the war is not here. Basically, building materials are available, many just more expensive and some only after a longer waiting time. Given the price explosions last year, larger price fluctuations or increases and delivery problems had to be expected even in January.

That's exactly how it is. In this respect, I would question the move under Baugesetzbuch 313 for this young contract. A conversation with a friendly reference to the facts might bring an agreement. After that, you can always still march to a lawyer.
