Resignation from the construction contract

Good morning,

We, at a construction company here in the area (Middle Franconia region), wanted to get a quote, and they immediately pushed a construction contract on us. As foolish as we were, we signed it.

In the contract, there was a clause from us stating that if the company's financing exceeds €1000, we can withdraw without any costs.

The case has occurred that the financing amounts to €1008, and we now want to withdraw, but they are being difficult and claim that we cannot simply withdraw, and if we build with another company, they will not take back the contract at all! Do they even have the right to do that?

Thank you

as dumb as we were, we signed

There is nothing to add to that, but a lawyer will surely help you get out of the mess for a small fee for him and the construction company. ;)

I hope it works without [RA]. I have now written them a letter in which we refer to this clause and withdraw due to the high financing amount.

I keep wondering why someone signs a contract and then does not want to abide by it, because the 8 euro higher financing is not the reason to back out, but [Sie] want to no longer stand by what they have signed for other reasons.
