First, one should define approximately what one intends to build. We had in mind some types of bungalows from Scanhaus Marlow Marlow or Team Massiv before buying and choosing a plot, something along those lines, not exactly like that, but roughly so. Then we looked at the plots and eliminated them one by one. Two suitable ones remained for this type of house, which I visited with my friend W. to ask him which one was better in terms of earthworks; he is an expert in the field. He recommended the one that we then bought. Conclusion: I would not listen to a forum for the two options but rather create criteria for selection: house type, earthworks, position relative to the sun. It is such that a piece of land that is initially more expensive eventually becomes cheaper or equally priced because less excavation is needed, no angled retaining walls are required, etc. All things that a forum cannot judge.
