uti-pepeHello dear forum community,
I had the notarization appointment for the purchase of my townhouse 14 days ago.
There, I received different floor plans:
1. The first floor plan is attached to the deed and is certified. It shows everything as stated in the preliminary contract.
2. The second floor plan has been modified; it is also attached to the deed and certified. Additionally, we were supposed to sign this one on site.
In the first floor plan (white background), a kitchen unit was drawn in. This made it clear to us that the connections would be located on the right wall.
In the second floor plan (green background), the kitchen unit was removed. We didn’t notice this immediately.
After the foundation slab was completed, we realized that the kitchen connections were not where they were originally supposed to be. The connections are now on the left.
However, 10 months ago, we purchased a kitchen unit designed for the right side.
So, we now have to modify it.
The developer refers to our signature on the second floor plan.
I know we should have paid closer attention.
Unfortunately, we noticed this too late.
But is this procedure legally correct?

Basically, what you sign is what you get....
Of course, it’s not very polite or professional to fail to mention or warn about this.

Hello,
if I understand you correctly, the notary certified two _different_ floor plans for the same property? Their completely unreasonable fees are exactly for preventing things like this!
If no clear ranking or precedence of the documents was recorded, in my opinion the notary made a serious mistake here...
A note should have been added to the first floor plan indicating that it is no longer valid.
The highlander principle applies to all documents: there can only be one...
Or there need to be clear indications as to which document is the most current.
For now, I would insist on the first certified floor plan.
Best regards,
Andreas
