      Well that is why you hire an expert bâtiment before putting down 1M in an asset… I recommend Molitor Expertise btw, very professional and full report given (did it a couple of months ago).

      real estate agent are finding methods to outsmart the laws, for example to rent an appartment 2000€/month you and the landlord need to pay 50/50 agence fees; the agence now doubled the amount of the fees to 4000 € and make you pay 2000 € which makes the new law useless (with no gurantee that the landlord payed the same amount)

      I think every country has Caveat Emptor when buying a home. It sucks, but it’s just how it is.

      But then, if you’re spending €1 million, the €6,500 repair is less than 1% of the property’s value.

      I feel for the buyers, but I also cannot see how sellers can ensure a brand new condition home, when they’re not selling a brand new home.

      Edit to add: also, the asbestos is outside and undisturbed, so doesn’t pose a threat the whole time it remains in place

      It’s still a forever home. They’ll just die in it sooner than they expected.

      Ehm…. you buy a 1M€ home and then complain about 6.5k€ for the removal of a defect?

      Yes, it’s unfortunate that people lie and tell half-truth or just blabber when they have no clue. But the neighbors lived there and raised 3 kids there… if they wanted to screw the guy, congrats on playing the long game.

      Cultural practice lol what?
      I’m sure real estate agents are always a good representation of any country’s cultural practice. /s

      They sell on behalf of the seller and only make money upon realization of sale, which makes for a bit of a bias so you are still expected to do your own homework.

      The story is completely over inflated. As others have pointed out it’s 6500€ on a million house. In the same scale as a pipe bursting after you buy or other issues. Where the sellers a bit cheeky, probably, but the damage isn’t worth the noise made for it. When you buy an old property you also buy maintenance and surprises, want to avoid some of it, get proper builder in to check, not an architect.

      This is why I appreciate the British system of buying property. Enquiries before contract: the sellers are obliged to answer standard questions about what they are selling, and this would have come up. If they don’t mention it, there’s a potential claim for damages to cover the cost of removal.

      Here, you’re on your own. The notary is only interested in his fees and the sellers can hide behind an absolutist version of caveat emptor.
