Hello everyone,
I bought a 1.5-story house from Town & Country, the contract is already signed, and the financing through the bank is also finalized. The planning with the developer was completed as well. I originally wanted to submit the building permit / planning permission application this week, but the developer just informed me that my plot actually requires a mandatory 2-story building. However, what we planned is a 1.5-story house. What is this about? The planning and financing are basically finished. What should I do? This is definitely a mistake by the seller. He knew the zoning plan from the beginning but sold me a house that does not meet the development plan requirements. What should I do? What consequences will I face? Does anyone have experience or advice? Many thanks.

Talk to Town & Country. They might be quite accommodating if Flair 125 is exchanged for the urban house Flair 124.
So far, nothing has happened with Town & Country.
And please check what is actually specified in the development plan. The builder still needs to inform themselves. Yes, but the bank also has to agree. They reviewed based on a different house.

And you’re saying the bank would prefer a house that isn’t allowed to be built? Sure. Not exactly, but it would involve changing the subject property, which would require a new review. Usually, there are fees if you agree to that. Then the question is whether two stories cost more than one and a half. More loan?
It’s always problematic when such major questions and issues arise so late. All contracts are signed, and the cooling-off period during which one can cancel without costs has expired.
Unfortunately, the original poster is now in a weaker position compared to the provider and the bank. Regardless of who is to blame...
I wish them the best.
We had a similar situation with the roof. A hip roof was not allowed in our case. Unfortunately, only a half-hipped roof (Dutch gable) and a gable roof were permitted… surrounded by all those flat roofs.
In the end, the redesign was handled by the company, and we shared the additional costs for materials and so on with them. However, that was a courtesy on their part!
Why not share the development plan / building permit here?

Why don’t you share the zoning plan here?We are talking about Town & Country here…That is one of the most affordable providers on the market. Even goodwill will come at a cost with them.
