Extension of a house for a disabled daughter and the municipality

Questioner

In 1998 we built an extension to our house for our disabled daughter. We needed a piece of municipal land for that. That was arranged with the municipality and a purchase agreement was signed by the municipality and us. The entire extension was financed by CIZ and ourselves. It was not only an extension but also moving a lamppost and sewerage. We therefore assumed that everything was arranged. This year (33 years later) I received a message from the municipality that there was indeed a purchase agreement but that the notary had not been to purchase the land. That is still possible, says the municipality, but still have to pay the costs of the land??? 6600 guilders converted to euros. If not, no ownership??? Can this just happen? Didn't the municipality make the mistake? Is this still allowed 33 years later? I would like to hear from you, thank you in advance.

Lawyer

The question is whether you cannot be blamed for the fact that the municipality did not deliver the land to you. Did you think you had given the municipality a power of attorney for this? In proportion, more care may be expected from an entity such as a municipality than is currently the case. Reason to divide the damage differently. The price that is mentioned, what is that related to? Please contact me to discuss the matters in a more private manner, preferably by email info@rechtinjestad.nl.
