Who pays for the inspection shafts?

Hello,

I received a purchase contract today for our reserved plot, which is currently being developed by the seller (i.e. the entire new development area).

Under "Transfer of possession, use, and burdens" it states:

Any local and connection fees including reimbursement claims according to the Municipal Charges Act and the corresponding municipal statutes as well as the corresponding costs for connections of supply and disposal, insofar as they have been charged for facilities created up to the transfer of possession, shall be borne by the seller; all other costs for public-law services and fees for which a notice is issued only after the transfer date shall be borne by the buyer. Exceptions to this are the development contributions pursuant to §127 paragraph 1 of the Building Code and charges pursuant to §127 paragraph 4 of the Building Code, which are included in the purchase price and borne by the seller.

The parties hereby indemnify each other from any claims contrary to this distribution internally.

So, the area is currently being developed until summer 2016. I suppose that only then the inspection shafts will be installed on our plot. I understand this as meaning that I bear the costs for this, not the seller (State of Baden-Württemberg).

Do you see it that way too? What costs should one expect?

Our shafts (wastewater and rainwater) cost roughly from memory, including earthworks and laying rainwater pipes to the shaft, around 5-6000.

Do you have to pay - had ours installed yesterday (2 x plastic shafts) and for rainwater and sewage pipes I'm out about 2,000 euros.

Hi,

We only have one shaft for wastewater. We paid for it when purchasing the property: 2500€.

The shafts in the new development area were all installed during the development phase.

Cheers, torsan
