Questions about purchasing property, measuring boundary stones, etc.

Check for old burdens and encumbrances -> Is there an encumbrance registered in the land register?

Can I look at this again with the municipality beforehand? An encumbrance is registered in the encumbrance register. However, this will be deleted upon purchase. The neighbor is buying this area.

Contract: you have 14 days to thoroughly check it, but you don't have to.

You mean before signing?
Or some kind of withdrawal period after signing.

In advance! You’re supposed to check beforehand, after signing everything is fixed

Yes, we have now received this contract draft. Should we have a notary or lawyer look over it again, or is this unnecessary?

Good evening,

Yes, we have now received this draft contract.
Should we have a notary or lawyer take another look at it, or is this unnecessary?

This question is answered by your level of understanding of the formulated draft. If you understand and accept it, no further consultation is needed. If mostly "gibberish" stands before you, in my opinion the answer should not be "unnecessary."

Rhenish greetings

Hey,

My questions now:

1.) How expensive is it to have new stones set? The property was already surveyed once.

2.) Is this only allowed to be done by the cadastral office or also by any surveyors?

3.) Does it save money if we only have the stones at the back set after we have it surveyed where the house will be? (Travel costs, "bulk discount" or something similar).

Thanks in advance for the answers.

Regards Sven

Hello Sven,

In Lower Saxony, this may be done by the cadastral offices and all publicly appointed surveyors. In North Rhine-Westphalia, the costs would also be reduced based on the fee schedule if the building surveying and marking of the old boundary points are done in connection. Whether there is a similar regulation in Lower Saxony, I do not know at the moment, but I would be surprised if that were not the case.

Best regards
