Dear forum,

I am interested in a plot of land where a duplex is planned. The plot would then be shared with the other buyer. Unfortunately, the plot is not perfectly square. Now I am wondering whether, for this particular plot, a conceptual subdivision or a real subdivision would be better?

Without a plan, it is hardly imaginable.

This would be the plan.

In the end, it doesn’t matter how you divide it, as it doesn’t change the property regarding what you use.

You either have a condominium unit (ETW) as a semi-detached house with exclusive rights to use the garden, or you own the land (the same area) on which your semi-detached house is built.

It does not matter how you divide it in the end. It does not change anything about the property that you use.

You will then either have a condominium unit as a semi-detached house with exclusive rights to the garden or a plot of land in your ownership (the same area) on which your semi-detached house stands.

Well, what does the zoning plan say? Usually, you can’t just subdivide smaller plots because they need to be at least 400, 650, or 800 square meters (4,300, 7,000, or 8,600 square feet). With a subdivision, each owner would have to arrange their own driveway, and the rear plot would still need a space-consuming driveway. Basically, it only gets complicated if it were allowed in theory.

The idea of a joint ownership division works fine.
