Room division "with little effort"

Hello K1300S,

Thank you for the hint, I will take another close look at our contract concerning this passage!
The sellers are building new. For that, they need to sell their house in advance, their bank apparently required this, otherwise they probably would not have gotten the (remaining) loan. That is why their bank wants to see the purchase contract beforehand, I suspect. Our bank also wants to see the purchase contract before our loan is disbursed. It seems to me that these are two similar cases?

Best regards!

also as a report of experience for house (purchase) buyers who have a similar contract model (pay first/be paid first, hand over much later).

We sold our house in a very similar way. Actually a common model, where the notary knows exactly what to do. We were able to live there for free.

Hello, dear readers!
All’s well that ends well — today we were at the notary :) The house will soon be ours and is secure. Thanks for your tips! By the way, the (very likeable) sellers said they would move into a friend’s holiday apartment if there were construction delays, so the handover date will definitely be met. That reassured me once again. I really don’t want to imagine a forced eviction in case the deadline isn’t met, as was extensively read out from the contract today! Such scenarios are terrible.
To tie this back to the title of this thread: we learned from the sellers that we could remove a wall between the two rooms intended as children’s rooms on the upper floor, since it is not a load-bearing wall.
We probably won’t do that right away, but we #could# do it even now despite having two children, since there are still two rooms in the attic (but they are planned as guest rooms and an office), as well as a finished room in the basement. And I had recently been racking my brain about #space division# :)
For now, I’m going to thoroughly enjoy the feeling of finally not having to search anymore!
Best regards!

...we learned "en passant", it should say. Autocorrect.
