Hello everyone,
We currently have an option on a plot of land that is quite ideal for us. Well located, very friendly neighbors. The price is below the standard land value.
The plot is about 730 m² (7,850 sq ft), which is a very nice size for us, and it has a good shape. Sizes like this and prices below the standard land value are hardly available in this area anymore.
Now for the downside:
The plot is bordered on two sides by direct neighboring buildings from an old farmhouse.
The lower part is about 2.50 m (8 feet) high. The higher part is 5 m (16 feet) high.
The higher part is at the eastern edge of the plot, the lower part at the northern edge.
Now the question for you: what can be done here to at least somewhat improve the view?
The owner of the farm is apparently very easy-going. This means we can probably do whatever we want, as long as it doesn’t cost her anything
(unfortunately, demolition is not included).

Make sure to clarify whether there is no obligation to extend the building. Such tall boundary construction is rather unusual. And there was an attached building, as shown in the picture.

I just remembered: I recently read that the Empress tree can grow up to 4m (13 feet) per year Hi,but isn’t it mainly considered as a substitute for spruce/fir? You’d need a lot of space for it to cover the wall. The wood has almost the same strength as spruce/fir but, if I remember correctly, it is about 30% lighter.

Make sure to clarify whether there is no "obligation to attach" (Anbauverpflichtung). Such a tall boundary wall is rather unusual. And there was a building attached. You can see it in the picture.
StevenWe are planning to obtain an excerpt from the register of encumbrances and a land register excerpt anyway. According to the owner, there is no encumbrance on the property. The building zone marked in the development plan would also argue against an attachment obligation. But you never know.
I rather think that the requirement to maintain the 6m (20 feet) setback zone is registered as an encumbrance on the adjacent property.
