Have your real estate purchase contract checked: With Recht 24/7 at a fair fixed price
Have you found a buyer for your property? Great, now it's time to finalize the sale. The real estate purchase contract is the most important basis for this. But be careful! A lot of money is at stake when selling a house or apartment. Even small errors in the contract can cost you dearly as the seller. Reason enough to have the real estate contract checked. We'll tell you why you should definitely have the purchase contract checked by a lawyer, which points are particularly important during the check and which documents you need for a contract review .
Why you should have a real estate purchase agreement checked by a lawyer
In Germany, a real estate purchase agreement only becomes effective once it has been signed by both parties at a notary appointment and then notarized by the notary. This is because changes to the ownership structure can only be applied for in the land register after notarization.
Many buyers and sellers think that the notary checks a real estate purchase contract for subtleties of content. This is a mistake! A notary is fundamentally obliged to remain neutral and is only responsible for the legally correct framework conditions.
This means that a notary does not have to point out clauses in the purchase contract that are disadvantageous to you. You are responsible for ensuring that the real estate purchase contract does not contain any nasty surprises for you. It is not uncommon for the other party to provide the text of the contract - and for it to contain disadvantageous passages or contractual loopholes.
For this reason, you should definitely have the purchase contract for a property checked by a lawyer. This is the only way to ensure that the purchase contract does not contain any clauses that are unfavorable to you. The following questions are particularly important:
- Are all components of the sale adequately regulated?
- Are all necessary permits/documents available?
- What applies in the event of defects in the property? Does the buyer have enforceable liability claims?
- Who pays the fees for the notary, land registry and any necessary official approvals?
- As the seller, do you have to pay a contractual penalty if you fail to meet the agreed handover date?
- Is a handover protocol enclosed with the purchase contract? Is it sufficiently detailed (defects, meter readings)?
Unlike a notary, a lawyer will inform you about disadvantageous contract contents and help you to assert your personal interests in the best possible way. In addition, a lawyer will advise you on your other rights and obligations associated with the sale of the property.
Have the purchase contract for a property checked: These points are particularly important
A real estate purchase contract must contain various mandatory details in order to be legally valid. These include
- Information on the contractual partners (personal data, tax ID)
- Information on the payment modalities (purchase price, payment method and time)
- Information on the property (e.g. location, address, land register district)
- Information from the land register extract (land register encumbrances, land charges)
- Information on the transfer of ownership (time of transfer, rights and obligations arising)
If this information is missing or imprecisely worded, you may not be able to assert any legal claims later. For this reason alone, you should have a purchase contract for a house checked by a lawyer.
Depending on the real estate purchase agreement, these mandatory contents are supplemented by further individual contractual clauses. Caution is advised here, as these can be both advantageous and disadvantageous for you.
One example of this is the payment terms agreed in the contract. This is because it is essential that the property purchase contract stipulates when the buyer must pay the purchase price and what happens if the buyer does not meet the agreed payment deadlines.
The exclusion of liability is also important. Make sure that your liability as the seller is excluded for defects that are already known to the buyer when the contract is concluded. A lawyer will ensure that this clause is worded in a legally sound manner.
Last but not least: Handing over the keys. If you hand over the key before the purchase price has been paid in full, you are making a one-sided, unsecured advance payment. This is generally not recommended. If the contract has to be rescinded later - for example, because the buyer does not pay the purchase price after all - you will have to initiate a costly and time-consuming eviction action.
If you would still like to agree a handover of keys with the buyer before the purchase price is paid, specific agreements regarding a possible reversal should be set out in the real estate purchase contract.
Have the purchase contract checked by a lawyer: What documents are required?
In order to have the purchase contract for a property checked, some information or documents are required. These include
- a draft of the purchase or notary contract (for more information on the subject of "Notary contract", see our article "Real estate purchase contract: Checking the notary contract before the notary appointment")
- an extract from the land register
- Exposé and building permit (depending on the individual case)
- Parcel map
When buying a condominium, you should:
- a notarized declaration of division and the community regulations
- the partition plan and the certificate of completion
and - the collection of resolutions and minutes of the last owners' meetings
have ready.
