Hello 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?

Hello,
thank you very much for the numerous replies.
I know that we also made mistakes, but unfortunately, we did not notice them on site.
The notary certified both floor plans. No priority or ranking was recorded. At least, I did not find anything about this in the documents.
I have already discussed this with the developer.
They insist on the signed floor plan.
A change to the connections might be possible, but probably with small-diameter drain pipes, as these would have to be installed between the underfloor heating.
Additionally, I am not yet sure who would have to cover the costs.

I don’t really understand the issue, since from your explanation I can’t tell where the drain and other connections are located.
To me, communication and information during construction are still very important. Have you had the chance to visit the site multiple times?
Putting that aside: If the long wall has become the connecting wall, it offers much more convenience for a kitchen layout.
Your ordered design should be adjustable accordingly.

They insist on the signed floor plan. And from my point of view, that choice is no less valid for you than it is for them:

By the way... The notarized contract must be provided to you in full at least two weeks before the notary appointment. Simply bringing relevant documents on the day of the appointment, in my opinion, is a major risk that could lead to the whole process being reversed.
Not that you would want that, but it could be a good starting point in the discussion.

Neither of the two "plans" are actual construction plans. How were the power outlets determined? Didn’t you ever want to know where you will turn on the lights later, etc.?
You have already received good advice regarding the contracts and communication with the builder. However, I would be cautious—not to risk that you might have actually received construction plans or similar in the meantime?!
Good luck! mini_g!
