Right of First Refusal (Vorkaufsrecht)
What does it mean?
Someone has a legal right to buy this property before you can — if the seller accepts your offer, that person can step in and buy it instead at the same price.
Is this a problem when buying?
Something to clarify before buying. Not an automatic deal-breaker, but worth checking.
What you should do as a buyer
Confirm with the seller whether the Vorkaufsrecht holder has been notified and has waived their right.
