Hello everyone,
I bought a 1.5-story house from Town & Country, the contract is already signed and the financing through the bank is also signed, the planning with the property developer was also completed, I actually wanted to submit the building application this week, but the property developer informs me that on my plot, 2 stories are STRICTLY required, which we had already planned, but what we have is a 1.5-story house. What is this? The planning and financing are actually already finalized, what should I do? This is definitely a mistake by the seller, he knew the development plan from the start, but sold me a house that does not comply with the development plan, what should I do? What consequences am I facing? Does anyone have experience or tips? Thank you very much

Ouch! Well, I know this from minor issues with my neighbors, like a building area without a gas connection (indicated in the development plan) but the big general contractor sold them a house with gas heating. The cost (gas tank) had to be paid by the builder. The reasoning was: It's the builder's responsibility since it's his plot, his development plan, he must understand it and commission suitable things. Have you already spoken with the general contractor about what a solution might look like?

Hi, first of all it would be good for you to know that there is a difference between a developer and a BU/GU. If it really were a developer, you wouldn’t have to worry about any of this. Then you would have bought a piece of house, how the developer manages it is his problem, not yours. Town & Country sounds like BU/GU, meaning you are the builder and therefore responsible for ensuring that the design complies with the development plan. You write "actually mandatory"... that sounds like there are loopholes. If they demonstrably had the development plan, the redesign costs etc. should of course be borne by Town & Country. However, they probably won’t cover additional costs for the house. What does your contract with Town & Country say about redesigning? Regards, Andreas

how could that happen. Didn’t you read the development plan yourself and have you never discussed it together? And how come you want to submit the building application yourself? For us, it was handled by the Town & Country civil engineer, who of course went through everything with us in detail beforehand (of course we had to sign the application too)

At S&B, uh Town & Country, you probably won't get far. Pull up the knee wall and first see what they want for it. You must have also planned 40-50k€ extra for stuff that will definitely come with Town & Country.

I agree! I find it hard to believe that Town & Country did not protect themselves against something like that with a clause in the contract! If necessary, they will just wait it out, because a building permit simply won't be granted like that.

I can also ask your question the other way around,...

What's that supposed to mean, that you don't know your development plan? Something like that is on the first few pages of the textual statute!!!
