Hello everyone,
I would like to get a rough estimate in advance of what we might expect for a future house.
In our former rural hometown, building plots will soon be developed. Due to the current situation, almost all previously reserved plots have become available again.
We have an appointment soon to discuss the building plots. They are all between 500-650 sqm (5382-6997 sq ft) in size and are supposed to cost between €160-180 (per sqm), which is quite high for this location.
Is it still possible to negotiate prices, or are the local authorities strict? We are considering buying two plots to reach about 1000 sqm (10,764 sq ft) in total.
The plot would be purchased without taking out a loan.
What are the current prices for a single-family house with two full floors and a basement in a higher-quality finish?
Since I am currently self-employed, my income fluctuates significantly. The business is planned to be moved into the basement. Of course, this still needs to be approved by the local authority to see if it is allowed.
It is an online shop with current pre-tax profits of €400,000 annually.
Maybe you can give me a brief outlook on the upcoming project.
Thank you

By now, we have a new neighbor again, so that option is off the table for the time being.

We are also building on both plots due to building obligations… for us, it will be two asymmetrical semi-detached houses…WilderSueden schrieb:

But for us, open development is required.Semi-detached houses do not count as "closed development" – open development zones generally require a gap at least every 50 meters (about 164 feet), which is usually met by terraces of six or more units, and certainly by semi-detached houses.https://www.instagram.com/11antgmxde/

And are buildings that extend beyond property lines really just allowed like that?

And structures crossing property boundaries are simply allowed?If building encumbrances have been registered, often yes ... (unless something else still opposes it, but that is clarified before registering a building encumbrance)WilderSueden schrieb:
Why does "open" development even exist? To allow for it where closed development is to be avoided. Allowing fire trucks access only through interior block courtyards would require driveways. However, if there is no airflow crossing through a long street lined with houses extending hundreds of meters, it would create a wind tunnel. Usually, development density is relaxed by zoning plans that specify building types, where house clusters (H) are only sparsely intermixed between detached (E) and semi-detached/semi-attached (E/D) zones.

As a local resident, I apparently have a right of first refusal.
Let’s see what comes of it.
