Dear community,
I am currently in the process of notarizing the contract for the purchase of my plot of land.
Key data: approx. 1000m2, old building, building plan available
Previously, a man lived there as a nomad. He let the plot become overgrown and at the same time tried to live independently. For this reason, he installed 6 oil tanks (1-2 in the basement, the rest distributed throughout the house). According to the realtor, all oil tanks were professionally cut open and the contents cleaned. This means that "only" additional costs for the disposal of the tanks will arise.
So far, no anomalies have appeared anywhere.
Nevertheless, I would like to make sure that I am protected against unforeseeable problems. Therefore, my idea was to negotiate a clause for rescission with the seller in the purchase contract. This should include a case of soil contamination discovered afterwards.
What do you think about this? Is it common and realistic?
Finally, another independent question:
Along the plot there is an old above-ground power line. See picture. This once supplied my old house (no longer necessary today) and still supplies a house on the other side of the street until today. Since I no longer need this line, I would like to have the line removed up to the next support (see front left).
Do you have any experience with this and what costs can be expected? Does this run through the power supplier or the building authority?
Thank you very much!
