Hello,

unfortunately, I don’t know where else to ask my question...

We are interested in a plot of land measuring 890 square meters (9579 square feet) to build a detached single-family house. However, about 200 square meters (2153 square feet) of it is fallow land. It borders on an agricultural field. Unfortunately, the real estate agent could not tell us whether the fallow land can be fenced, planted, or built on with a garden shed.

Are there any legal regulations regarding this? Does it vary from place to place? We don’t know where we could find this information.

Also, we would appreciate your opinions on such a divided plot of land. Are there any disadvantages?

Best regards!

I don’t know how expensive the plot of land is or how much the real estate agent is earning, but for their fee, they could definitely do a bit more than just the bare minimum. I mean, they could look beyond the obvious, but unfortunately, most don’t.

Hello Totta,

“Unused land” can mean many different things, ranging from abandoned farmland to former industrial sites or land that is no longer economically viable.

What you can and are allowed to do with it will certainly be clarified by the responsible building and/or property authority at the city, municipal, or county office.

However, I have to agree with toxicmolotow – the real estate agent earns their commission from selling the land, so it’s normal for them to handle your questions.

That said, I personally would recommend contacting the authorities directly to be absolutely certain about what is permitted and what is not.

Best regards,

Dirk
