As an alternative to the explanation, Haufe is also quite good because it is understandable for non-lawyers – see the red parts:
Legal Context
If the parties make independent agreements about the obligation to transfer the property and about the provision of construction services, the decisive factor for the assessment is whether, from the overall circumstances, the will of the contracting parties emerges that the object of the acquisition transaction is to be the developed property. Indicators of such a will of the contracting parties are, for example
[*]the linking in the contract text,
[*]the consolidation of the agreements in one deed or
[*]a total price.
In such a case, the object of the acquisition transaction is the
developed property (cf. BFH ruling of 13.04.1983 - II R 53/81).
If there are two or more contracts, they are to be considered as a unit if they are explicitly dependent on each other. This also applies without an explicit link of existence if, according to the will of the parties, they are so interdependent that they must "stand or fall" together. Whether this is the case is to be determined by taking into account the interests of the contracting parties, their behavior before and at the conclusion of the contract, and the actual course of events (BFH rulings of 13.08.2003 - II R 52/01 and of 21.09.2005 - II R 49/04).
Objectively Close Factual Connection
An objectively factual connection between the land purchase contract and further agreements leading to the assumption of a unified acquisition object exists, among other things,
if at the time of concluding the land purchase contract the buyer was no longer free in his decision regarding the “if” and “how” of the construction measure in relation to the seller and it was therefore established that he would only receive the property in a certain (developed) condition. This can result from a certain chronological sequence of the contracts or from a factual compulsion (cf. BFH ruling of 30.08.2017 - II R 48/15, BStBl 2018 II p. 24 with further references).
Prepared Course of Events
Furthermore, an objectively close factual connection may exist if a prepared course of events is accepted. A prepared course of events is to be assumed if the seller of the property offers the interested party, based on a concrete and approximately construction-ready preliminary planning, certain construction services on a specific property at a price that is essentially fixed and the interested party can only accept or reject this offer as a whole. For this assessment, it is irrelevant whether the preliminary planning was substantially influenced or even initiated by the buyer’s side (cf. BFH ruling of 21.09.2005 - II R 49/04) or whether the offer is accepted with minor deviations (cf. BFH ruling of 03.03.2015 - II R 9/14).
