That is not correct, for the consumer there is now a right of withdrawal, and that is legally completely independent of the contract.
And quite generally .. a house purchase will as a rule not fall under the statutory withdrawal period for online transactions. Rather, a possibility of withdrawal must be explicitly agreed upon in the contract
The new construction contract law grants private builders a right of withdrawal for the first time. In the future, they can withdraw from the respective construction contracts within 14 days after conclusion. The Bundestag passed the new law.
Construction companies must grant their customers a 14-day right of withdrawal in the contracts. Until now, such a right was not provided for when signing a construction contract. “What has long been common, for example, with mobile phone contracts now finally also applies to house purchases,” explained Peter Mauel, chairman of the Homeowners' Protection Association, on Friday in Berlin. The entrepreneur must also inform the customers about this. If the clause is missing in the contract, a withdrawal is possible up to twelve months after the contract conclusion
