Hello,
we are planning a semi-detached house and are uncertain which side would be the better choice.
Since we are building privately with partners and want to reach the best possible agreement, I am interested in your neutral assessment – also based on the surrounding development. The plot involved is 750/29. There is currently an existing building on this plot. The new building is shown in green on the sketch.

No, we found the plot together. Therefore, there is no first right of refusal. Somehow, we have to come to an agreement. We only have a few requirements for the house (expensive) that are not as important to the building partners. We are just considering whether it is worth giving up the “sunny side.”

Jesse Custer17 Mar 2025 08:56I'll put it this way:
- We didn’t have this problem back then – we were actually the second customers and therefore got the north-facing house, which annoyed us quite a bit at the time...
- However, due to the summer weather patterns that have been ongoing for several years now, the unfortunately sole resident of the south half has clearly expressed that she would rather swap with us sooner rather than later...
... there’s always something...
