Hello everyone,
We have purchased a condominium from the developer. The construction work on the apartment is almost complete, and the developer is currently preparing for the handover. The schedule is roughly as follows:
However, we are wondering if this schedule is realistic at all or if it would be better to plan the move for January to allow enough time in case there are any delays. This also concerns the termination of our current rental—end of December or end of January?
How much time did you plan between handover of the house/apartment and moving in? What are your experiences or recommendations?
Thank you very much for your help!
We have purchased a condominium from the developer. The construction work on the apartment is almost complete, and the developer is currently preparing for the handover. The schedule is roughly as follows:
- Walkthrough of the apartments by the buyers without the developer (next week)
- Repair of any defects by the developer
- Handover of the outdoor areas (mid to late November)
- Handover of the individual apartments (expected early December)
However, we are wondering if this schedule is realistic at all or if it would be better to plan the move for January to allow enough time in case there are any delays. This also concerns the termination of our current rental—end of December or end of January?

Show some nice pictures of the apartment.
Although we have built and now own a house, I’m still considering the idea of an apartment again We hope to take some good photos during the site inspection next week – I’ll be happy to share a few then.
The developer therefore has until April 2020 to complete the project. What will you do if winter suddenly arrives and the exterior works are not finished by December? Without completing the exterior landscaping, there can be no final acceptance, meaning you cannot move in. And the developer would not even have to pay compensation if you have to temporarily stay in a hotel, since they are neither behind schedule according to the original deadline nor have they provided you with a written confirmation of the handover date so far.

Last week we strolled through Görlitz and "accidentally" wandered into an old townhouse that was being renovated. Since everything was open, we just went inside... and we were completely amazed... absolutely beautiful!!! The future kitchen, for example, was separated by a glass and metal wall in an industrial style. The parquet floors looked like old wooden planks. In the bathroom, an old industrial window was installed to bring in light. Tiles in Moroccan style… And the hallway…!!! You can already sense the renewed old charm. There was even space somehow for a small elevator. At the front, the colorful city center life, and at the back, a small green oasis with tall brick walls. Oh yes… this could be a place I’d love to live in as well. Kind regards, Steffi
Unbelievable. Simply entering someone else’s property and trespassing.
It doesn’t matter whether it is fenced off or not.
When my parents were building, we also had to constantly ask people to leave the construction site. Some even boldly claimed they were allowed because they knew the homeowners. But that wasn’t the case.
If someone were messing around on my construction site, there would definitely be a serious reaction...

Without the exterior work finished, there can be no final acceptance = no move-in for you. And the developer wouldn’t even have to pay compensation if you end up staying in a hotel temporarily, since they are not behind schedule compared to the original deadline and haven’t given you any written confirmation with a handover date so far.The exterior work is complete and just needs to be officially accepted. Trees and shrubs have already been planted, the underground parking garage is finished, etc. But you are right that there is a timing risk involved in accepting the exterior work itself, because if defects are found, they will still need to be fixed, which could further delay handing over the apartments.If things get really tight, we could stay with our parents-in-law for a few weeks. So we definitely wouldn’t be left on the street. Furniture can be stored for 300 EUR per month, which is just a fraction of the monthly rent in Munich.
