  "account": "Buying a home for several hundred thousand Euros is the most significant financial transaction many people experience in their lives. When evaluating such a purchase, people often focus on price, location, appearance, and interest rates, but they overlook numerous legal aspects. It is these legal issues that ultimately determine whether the house or apartment will be usable as planned. A notary is not a professional who inspects the property for defects and risks. Instead, they draft and execute the contract, ensuring the ownership transfer is legally secure. The purchaser is responsible for examining whether the property economically and construction-wise meets their expectations. To avoid costly legal mistakes, Julia Haas, a property lawyer and partner at the prestigious law firm Freshfields, offers advice on seven key legal pitfalls to avoid.",
