Hello,
I hope this is the right forum for this topic.
We have found a plot of land in Eichwalde (right on the city border of Berlin) that we really like, and everything suggests that we could build a house there according to our plans.
However, the property consists of two parcels, and we only need the front one. Together, the two are too large and too expensive. The seller has communicated through the real estate agent that he would prefer to sell both parcels together. Therefore, we are looking for a building partner who wants to build their house on this auction plot.
The rear parcel is about 650sqm (7000 sq ft) plus the narrow strip. According to §34, it is buildable, and since the neighboring houses are fairly large, a relatively large house with up to 120sqm (1300 sq ft) of footprint and two full floors would likely be permitted by the building authority. It is being sold just below the local standard land value. Apparently, there are no significant restrictions (no trees that are difficult to remove, only an old weekend cottage).
Does anyone have an idea where we could find someone? We have already reached out to acquaintances and colleagues. The real estate agent is rather unmotivated, probably because they don’t want to work too hard for a 7% commission.
