The realtor said the house was 50 years younger - is that fraud?

With the sliding new value factor, one refers to 1914; 1910 is not known to me in this context.

: I would say that the year of construction is indeed an essential characteristic of a house; deception about it would be, in my opinion, serious. You should, in my view, factually compile the information (notarial contract, annexes to the contract, possibly other documents that are not part of the contract but were provided to you in connection with the house purchase) and review what is stated where. There should be further hard facts, at least indications, about the true year of construction somewhere. Structural analysis? Design documents?

Depending on the result, you could then ask the notary, but in case of doubt, rather immediately consult a specialized lawyer. I would not send any letters to the realtor or seller unprepared.

The difference should be visible at first glance. I also suspect a misunderstanding in connection with gleitender Neuwert 1914.

Apart from that, brokers basically only pass on information from the owner and are not themselves obliged to verify it. The question here would now be what was communicated between the owner and the broker.
If the broker could be proven to have consciously made such a massive false statement, the commission would at least be completely void. But I would still be very surprised.

I would be very surprised if the exposé became part of the notary contract and thus the age became a guaranteed characteristic. The disclaimer is likely included in the exposé.

I suspect the same. The proportion of clueless people in the brokerage profession is legendary, but everyone really sees the construction year difference 1910/1960: wooden beam or reinforced concrete floor slabs, shutter boxes integrated into the wall, toilets on stair landings, oil tanks in the basement – the list of indicators that reveal a half-century difference in construction year is long and easily understandable for laypeople.
