Hello,
we have a problem with our property developer.
According to the plans, we agreed with the developer that a basement window would be reduced in size and a terrace door would be installed in the kitchen. Both are recorded as such in the purchase contract.
In January, our basement was then poured and after the formwork was removed, we could see that at this point a large basement window was again planned. I already informed the seller about this 3 weeks ago (in writing and by phone). Since then, he wanted to get in touch with me. Unfortunately, I have not been able to reach him since then. Today we were at the construction site again and found that the walls of the ground floor are now being built and the recess for the terrace door in the kitchen is not present. The wall was simply continued at this point. Furthermore, we noticed that agreed relocations of other terrace doors and windows have also not been carried out.
After I looked for the very first plans of the developer that we had, I discovered that the dimensions currently used on the construction are exactly those that appear in the original plans.
What can we do now? I have pointed out the defects to the developer by email and will try again tomorrow to reach the construction manager and the seller.
The basement window and the terrace door are recorded in the purchase contract and notarized. We have also paid for these additional services. The window relocation requests have been known to the developer for a month and I approved the plans for the architect 10 days ago. So they should be available to the developer.
What rights do I have against the developer? Because of the larger basement window, which is located directly under the terrace door, an orderly entrance is only possible with considerable additional costs.
