It can't be exactly like that. There is certainly some kind of "award notification," a notary appointment, and then a payment deadline.

It would be sensible to obtain an appraisal before the notary appointment. This way, any potentially necessary additional expenses for the soil can be included in the project calculation.
If that’s not possible at all, add 10k as a buffer. That way, you are reasonably on the safe side, provided that no pile foundation is necessary. This may already be evident from surveying neighbors or, in the case of a new development area, from the municipality’s soil samples.

Thanks for the tip. I will ask if they can provide something.

That would be the case anyway, because this is only about a paid reservation. Therefore: commission the survey and reserve, then possibly withdraw, provided you can afford not to buy this property.

I would also first ask what is already available. I also know it this way, that at least a few samples should have already been taken in municipal new development areas. Otherwise, it is simply the case that you take a certain risk. But I think very bad soil conditions would be known to you.

Basically, I share the opinion that you should have the expert report before the purchase. Friends of ours did not have it done, even though there was time, and paid dearly for it. But if time is pressing, everything else fits, well, then you have to bite the bullet. In popular new development areas, you can also certainly withdraw again (without guarantee!).

Before the purchase it is certainly nice, but more important is that this is done before one finally decides on a certain house plan and thus a budget. Basement yes/no is the critical point here.

Is a soil investigation according to LAGA actually necessary in addition to the soil survey? Has anyone had to do this? Is this soil chemical investigation necessary if a munitions certificate already exists, or does it have nothing to do with that? I would appreciate it if someone could clarify for me whether an investigation according to LAGA is a must. Thank you
