I hope a future buyer does not read through all the threads from Räuber ... otherwise, no one can say they didn’t know ... and if so many things are wrong with a house like this, you simply cannot sell it as defect-free!

I have never seen such issues with a new build before....

@Snowy36
Have you already built your house?
In your opinion, no house is free of defects after handover.

Once a defect is fixed, it is no longer a defect.

For the builder, this situation is, of course, very frustrating and stressful right now, regardless of this topic. No homeowner wants to go through that, even if many things seem worse than they actually are.

Where did I claim that?

If there is a defect, it must be disclosed during the sale.

And regarding your question: we are moving in December, and through various purchases, including legal disputes over existing properties, I have learned what qualifies as a defect and what does not.

Do you think I would move into the house with such defects and officially accept the building from the general contractor? Definitely not.

No, probably not.

But in the mentioned parallel thread, it is claimed that if a house is damp (which I hope is not permanently the case for you, but will be fixed), a seller is not obligated to inform a buyer about it if the seller is not aware of it.

It’s quite simple. A buyer must be informed about known defects, but not about issues that existed in the past and have been resolved, because those are no longer defects.

And surely no one seriously believes that we would let the screed installer or tile layer work there before the cause of the moisture has been definitively identified, right?
