Question about contractual completion

Just because it is the standard of the construction company, it does not have to be fair for both contracting parties, and secondly, something can always be negotiated separately. Best example is kitchen sales. They start from €20,000 with an alleged "block billing" down to €11,900. If you don’t ask for a discount, you have to pay the full price.

So I can imagine that such a contract contains parts that are negative for the buyer. If he asks, they get changed, if not, then the seller is happy.

To summarize, just because the other 99 buyers signed the contract like that, we do not have to. Aside from the fact that with other sellers, the completion date is November 2016, so the conditions are completely different.



We are currently finalizing the financing about a week before the notary appointment. Signing the notary contract without financing in hand is a bit too risky for us. We’d rather bite the bullet and pay the commitment interest. We have a 12-month commitment interest-free period. We hope for a mild winter, and that by the end of February 2017 most of the amounts have already been paid out, so that we only have to pay interest on a small remaining amount.

There is no winter in the Rhineland ;-). Do parcels (plots) still need to be divided or is there already a land register only for your future property? Such things can easily take months and then constitute a payment obstacle. If you want to be on the safe side, plan a certain reserve to be able to pay commitment interest (but you can also continue saving for 12 months).

It took a full 3 months for the payment request to arrive with us. With acquaintances, however, only 10 days, which you don't necessarily know beforehand. In our case, the time factor was the employer.
