Hello dear forum members,
we are interested in a plot of land that has a slight slope (see attached photos).
What do you think? Based solely on the pictures you see, is it possible to fill in or redistribute the soil to level the plot, or would we inevitably have to build following the slope? What approximate costs might we expect? A basement is not planned; we would like to build with a slab-on-grade foundation.
Thank you very much!

Or the 30,000 is a bargain, making up for the groundworks costs Or it’s not flatThe only thing missing is that the plot is undeveloped and the subsoil is rocky, then you really have a full can of surprises.
At first glance, I estimate there are about 80 cm (31.5 inches) high steps on both plots before the *ahem* "gentle" slope begins. And yes, I would also strongly suspect that this could be related to the soil conditions.
Even if it could be slightly excavated to lower the plot to street level, this basin would then cause problems with surface water.
The price really does smell a bit like a pit and "sewer still to come," or similar issues. There is a large cost difference between "asphalted" and "developed" (with utilities connected).
And to be honest, it looks like a "2000s DSL" village to me.
Either way, with the additional earthworks, you could probably get a basement here as well.

What do you mean by "2000s DSL village"?
Regarding the basement:
We are getting a neighbor who will probably build a Trend 100 with a shed roof on a masonry basement with northern cellar rooms and, on the south side, two rooms with floor-to-ceiling windows/doors on his elongated plot, built by Hartlhaus.
I really liked those plans and photos because since there is already a slope, almost everyone in our area builds with a basement anyway.

What does 2000er DSL village mean? Well, basically a small village with a "fast" internet connection of 2000 kbit/s to the data highway.

So, I just went there again and took measurements (using a special device borrowed from my father). The slope is 9%, or the plot rises 2m (6.5 ft) from front to back. Viewed from the front, at the back left near the hedge, it is almost level (about 20cm (8 inches) slope).
PS: It is a building plot and all utilities, including VDSL100, run directly under the access road at the property.
