Withdraw from the house contract

What a shame. Because often there are vague formulations that can be better utilized.

The 10% are also not too high. And proving a low damage will not be easy.

So, off to the specialist lawyer.

Or should we build with them after all? Or do you already have a contract with the [massivhausanbieter]?

Well, they can always say that they were, among other things, busy with a property search for you. That means: financial compensation for their efforts. Unfortunately, that's how it is. But given the amount, I would also advise consulting a specialist lawyer - it's not an insignificant sum: at least an initial consultation should be possible.

Good luck [emoji256]

Well, because one is stupid and let themselves be lulled. I know, it was stupid. We could also bite ourselves in the ass.

Let's put it this way. The lost profit because the TE successfully acquired a property is; and yes, with nothing standing in the way of the signed contract for work, it just makes the matter protracted. (It is also hard to argue that the profit margin is significantly lower).

You also can't just simply rely on a failed financing or something similar.

Don't get upset. Salespeople are trained to enable exactly such things.

Nevertheless, I think the sh... that happened to him. They collect 10% of something for nothing, and in the end they still get away with it. These salespeople.... morally corrupt guys all too often. Karsten
