Hello, we have a choice between two plots of land and are a bit unsure which one is better. The municipal one is located to the north near the forest, the private one to the south. What would you recommend?
Although I am still quite new here, maybe I can share some helpful advice.
After searching for over a year, I bought a plot of land a month ago.
During my search, real estate agents and builders gave me some valuable tips that I hadn’t considered before:
- Before buying a plot, you should always check the geoportal of the respective federal state first.
I bought my land in NRW (North Rhine-Westphalia). A year ago, I saw a very cheap plot, but according to the geoportal and neighbors, there was ironstone beneath the land. That material is very difficult to remove if you want to build a house with a basement there. At least in NRW, the geoportal is free to use.
- Ask the neighbors (this helped me a lot).
- Check the land register.
- A clear view to the south is important (e.g., for installing photovoltaic panels on the roof or a satellite dish).
- Check for noise pollution.
- Check for light pollution.
- Request a soil survey.
- Check official land value maps.
There were also plots available on slopes. However, I was told that you need an official permit from the authorities to level the land.

Can you tell me why the slope from the forest to the street is more favorable? Well, the slope probably drains better away from the terrace than towards it.

We want to build single-story without a basement, and earthworks are needed on both plots. If you mean terrain modeling: neither plot is suitable for slab-on-grade foundations – there’s trouble ahead; the plot on the right is still not ready.
