Foreclosure auction in Warendorf: Demolished dreams on Friday!
Things are boiling in Warendorf! A semi-detached house that has shaped the cityscape for 15 years is facing foreclosure. The reason for the excitement is that the building was erected incorrectly in several respects. Instead of the planned three apartments, the developer packed six apartments into the building. A real shot in the dark, because the house is also a full 75 percent larger than originally approved. This is no coincidence, as the city of Warendorf trusted the builder and did not check the building permits sufficiently. A fatal misjudgment that could now be expensive. The owner is broke and the relevant report shows that the building was largely built illegally, which means that the house has to be demolished. Ouch!
The compulsory auction will take place on Friday at the Warendorf district court, and the starting price for the property is 91,000 euros. However, there is a catch: the buyer must have the house demolished immediately. It remains to be seen whether someone has been found who is willing to take over this “construction site”. The problem of material illegality has been a hotly debated topic in recent years. Loud Law Forum This means that a structure was built without the necessary building permit and cannot simply remain in place.
Legal background
Such material illegality has dire consequences not only for the current owner, but also for the city responsible for its construction inspection. Official measures such as a construction cessation order or even a construction removal order must be taken in such cases to ensure that the building permit process runs correctly. The demolition of an illegally constructed building is in the public interest, and the necessity of such a measure requires careful examination of the individual case.
The city of Warendorf is in a huge quandary as it has to deal with this situation without causing further damage. Of course, it turns out that the construction law situation is not always fair and compliant. In any case, citizens should be aware that if they have any problems with construction, they should never hesitate to contact their local building authority. If there are rumblings, it could not only be a question of money for them, but also of their own safety.
It remains to be seen whether future potential buyers have a good hand or whether the building will finally become the city's bogeyman. One thing is clear: illegal buildings are unsustainable in the long term - this is an issue that must be at the top of the agenda. The foreclosure could send a loud signal to all those who perhaps believe they can achieve a lot with little effort. Reality often shows the opposite. We remain excited about developments!
