Actually divide the property but both have the same building rights

As a building encumbrance / right of way - how secured?

Details have not been discussed yet. This is only a proposal from the construction partner. I believe that there will be a WEG agreement for these common areas.

I don't know what you want to say with that.
You don't have to buy my proposal nor marry your construction partner. You both should sit down together at a table and explore all options. Whoever behaves like a crybaby or makes claims that are not feasible can then leave the room.

I understand what you mean, and I will definitely be interested in confronting and putting all topics on the table. And that is why I am seeking advice from experienced people like you to know what to do and how to approach this properly.

No information, no help. And if your building partner comes along with his ideas little by little, as it seems here, it's time to look for a new building partner.

very prophetic words.

We had a long discussion yesterday and the building partner now wants:
1. Use every centimeter of the building window (with floor area ratio), without leaving anything for the terrace
2. chose the plot on the right (the trapezoidal land), because it seems best to him and is willing to pay us a little to change our minds.

The second wish is already making me nervous because this could easily sow the seed of distrust.

It would be very nice if experts in this forum could shed some light on this:

a) Which part of the land do you think is more worthwhile?
b) Does the terrace count towards the floor area ratio or not in Bavaria?

thank you very much

a WEG agreement

Sorry, but that triggers my troll paranoia.

1. Use every inch of the building plot (with floor area ratio), without leaving anything for the terrace
2. chose the plot on the right (the trapezoidal land), because it seems best to him and is willing to pay us a little to change our mind.

Sorry, but I don’t understand you, and it’s not just the language barrier.

a) Which part of the land do you think is more profitable?

This question arises for farmers or speculators. In the case of a single-family house, it’s about the needs of the future residents; and while a picture of your requirements is slowly emerging through #39 (!), those of your building partner remain largely unknown. ’s suggestion from #36 takes everything mentioned so far into account and is still dismissed without reason. That’s not how you can get help.

b) Does the terrace count towards the floor area ratio or not in Bavaria?

Floor area ratio is floor area ratio and since the terrace has no roof, it is not part of the floor and therefore does not count. You probably mean the site coverage ratio, and that counts fully, not only in Bavaria. Likewise, it must fit within the building plot.

Considering the difficult communication among the would-be builders, I think the plot would be better off with a developer.

Sorry, but I don’t understand you, and it’s not just because of the language barrier.

Sorry if I couldn’t make myself clear. I need to work on my language skills.

But please believe me that my problem is real.

Things went very fast. We didn’t have time to make a proper agreement between the two of us. At first, the understanding was that I would take the right part (at that time somewhat larger) and the partner the left part. Then the question of the building envelope came up and I was willing to agree on having a garage and carport on my side and a shared walkway.

But the new demands that we build on every inch and that he would like to take over the right part because of too much sun on the left side and is also willing to pay more for it (maybe he consequently means that we should also pay more if we take the right part). This leaves a bad taste in the mouth. Since the realtor has already prepared the draft of the purchase contract, I am sure costs will arise if the deal does not go through.

For this reason, I feel that your proposal might show me a way out.

I also haven’t rejected the proposal from , it’s just that my building partner would like to have the best of both worlds, sunny but not too sunny. So having only a northeastern part does not appeal to him.

Conclusion: I am struggling with the following questions:

1. Should I also consider the left part? Is it worse or better than the right part?

2. Should I continue with this building partner if his interest is only to build as large as possible (with the full building envelope, i.e. 14x7) and leave nothing for the terrace, etc.?

3. What else can I expect, since we still have a long way to go even if a plot purchase is made. I can already sense a strong urge in him to work with a specific prefabricated house manufacturer (I’m not against the company but will certainly want to explore options).

I would be grateful if you could advise me on how to proceed.

Best regards

I would be grateful if you could give me some advice on how to proceed.

Now that we are already on the eighth page of the thread, the only advice can be: The building partner should buy the entire plot, divide it according to his wishes, and find another partner. You should just let the plot be a plot and look elsewhere. Since you couldn’t come to a reasonable agreement right from the start and things are difficult between you, you should separate. Better an end with a fright than a fright without end. How is it supposed to be when building, and then even living together, if (not when) the houses stand as desired? So hands off the plot.

Since the real estate agent has already prepared the draft purchase contract, I am sure costs will be incurred if the deal does not go through.

Who ordered a draft purchase contract and why? That person should also bear the costs. If it was you, you will have to live with it. If in doubt, consider it tuition fee.

I also did not reject @ypg's proposal, it's just that my building partner would like to have the best of both worlds, sunny but not too sunny.

Then he should have had it.

Having only a northeastern part does not appeal to him.

It would be northwest!
Sorry, I'm out here. In my opinion, you are complicating a matter that is quite simple. Not only him, also you!
And honestly: if you start off like this, how is a house supposed to be built?
