Hello,
In 2021, I was able to reserve a building plot in a new development area for a semi-detached house. The release of the development area is planned for autumn 2022. The goal is to move in by autumn 2023.
So far, no neighbor has been found for the adjacent plot.
I can’t wait much longer because I need to award the contract for the basement excavation. Of course, I would like to plan together with a neighbor.
The notarization appointment for the semi-detached house plot is scheduled for January.
I plan to wait for a neighbor as long as possible. Otherwise, due to the fixed move-in date of autumn 2023, I will have to start building my semi-detached house alone, without a neighbor.
Please share your experience and opinions with me.
Would you withdraw? I might still be able to switch at short notice to a still-available, less attractive plot for a detached house.
The plot for the semi-detached house is nice, and I would prefer it over the plot for the detached house.
I have never seen a single semi-detached house standing alone. Also, regarding a situation where the neighbor does not want a basement and would then have to follow my building style, I think this is not an ideal start to a new neighborhood... I also think that when the neighbor builds their half, there might be damage to my house wall.
What speaks against starting the build alone, with the risk that a neighbor might only be found months or one or two years later? The semi-detached house shouldn’t collapse in the meantime, right?
Best regards!

Why would anyone choose a semi-detached house? There are absolutely no advantages, especially since you don’t really save anything because there’s no joint project. But you get all the disadvantages for years. Maybe the zoning plan requires it. Not everyone lives in the eastern regions with infinitely large, free plots of land.
Addendum: I would add insulation on the neighbor’s side and leave it there, hoping it provides additional soundproofing. I can hear my neighbor walking up and down the stairs... and his children are much louder when they jump down the steps. Otherwise, I hear nothing at all, zero. These are houses from the 1960s with a thin Heraklith board between them. Today, this would definitely be done better.

Not everyone lives in the East with endlessly large plots that cost nothing.But he does have an alternative, so I just don’t understand it.tomtom79 schrieb:

In my opinion, a better location is worth more than the advantage of being detached.
Overall, I see the disadvantages of semi-detached or terraced houses as quite manageable.
The situation depends solely on the neighbors; the building type hardly plays a role here.
For example, I’d like to remind you of @kati1337’s story.
Besides, semi-detached houses generally make much better use of the available plot area, which means you get a larger usable garden or terrace, or less land use for the same living comfort.
