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!

This is typical rural mindset again (no offense intended).
In truly sought-after and expensive areas, you can easily fit at least TWO semi-detached houses on 450m² (around 4,840 sq ft).
On 900m² (around 9,680 sq ft), depending on the layout, you could build a small apartment building with 6-8 units or 7-8 terraced houses.
You can even stay within the city limits 😉 much of Germany wouldn’t find that very amusing. I know, I can understand it too.
But whenever I see something like this, it almost brings tears to my eyes.

WilderSueden3 Jan 2022 22:57Sometimes plots of land end up with construction companies, and of course, a duplex is built on them. I recently found our northeast neighbor on a real estate portal. The southern half might still be somewhat usable, but it’s a small plot of only 320 square meters (approximately 3,445 square feet). The northern half only gets sunlight in the evenings during high summer... by the way, it’s listed for 550,000 euros. But someone must be desperate enough to take it. I’m curious to see what will actually be built, since the house is listed in several different designs.
