Renovation costs mid-terrace house built in 1995 - and consultation

Building encumbrances can be checked at the building authority before purchase. The notary prepares the land register excerpt as far as I remember?

Was at the notary yesterday and signed the purchase contract for the terraced house from 1995. I am glad that the search is over and am now looking forward to the next steps.

As far as I understood recently at the notary, building encumbrances are, let's say, "not as relevant" when buying an existing property as when buying a plot of land with planned new construction.

Congratulations, we have ours on Friday too...

Hello HubiTrubi,

congratulations on the new home!

No, that's nonsense. Setback transfers are less important when buying an existing house if you want to continue using it, but they are important in case of demolition / new construction or extension; and if someone has the right to walk over, drive over, and bury pipes on my property, I would definitely want to know about that as well. What is the notary’s profession?
