Construction company with "land service"

That is of course true. However, the tax will probably be levied on both, and the developer is not the cheapest...

But there is nothing wrong with having a house calculation done once, is there? Then you will also see what costs will come up for you, and you roughly include the costs for a plot of land etc.

Yes, we will do that too! I just need to take a close look at the withdrawal clause then.

Calculating does not mean you have to sign immediately - but in principle, it is of course important to look at the clauses!

It’s of course somehow tempting not to have to rely on chance/luck.

Is it nobler in the mind ... (Shakespeare already asked). I would rather "try" my luck than prefer a "safe" getting imposed on me. But everyone is allowed to be young and fearless once, so don’t force yourself otherwise for my sake.

New development area (framework plan not yet decided, let alone the development plan) with several single-family house plots. The marketer (not the city) said they cooperate with a developer, called them. They say yes, we have exclusive plots reserved in one sub-area – and the list is already 50% full. If you sign a purchase contract now, you also get on this exclusive list.

What do you mean by a “framework plan” – an urban development concept? – the development plan can still take a while. That sounds very likely to me like a "project-related development plan" that the land developer will prepare. I suppose we are dealing here with a larger brownfield that someone has completely acquired. And presumably, the municipality has signaled its goodwill on the condition that a part of the building plots must be put on the open market.

The plot is not sold by the developer, though. I’m waiting for the documents. There shall presumably be a right of withdrawal if you are not satisfied with the remaining plots.

To me, your description sounds like developer-driven – however disguised (the marketing sister company has a different name than the construction company), fiscally I see you paying tax on both the cake and the icing. I’d be happy to look at the documents non-bindingly – you “are allowed” not to send a PM yet, but at gmx (de) I have the same member name

What do you mean by a "framework plan" - an urban planning concept?

Exactly. There is a large development with many citizen participation events. In 2010 there was a new land use plan and these areas were designated as residential areas and in this context the landowner apparently requested a development plan. Then there was a structural concept, which was largely discarded. A few years ago things apparently changed and then there were many citizen meetings, and now a framework plan in its final version is on display and waiting for confirmation. After that comes the development plan. There is a 50-page document.

No idea if they really are connected - at least on paper it doesn't look that way.

I would be happy to take a non-binding look at the documents

As soon as I have everything, gladly!

large development with many citizen participations

I know that. Not only large, but also endlessly tedious. Theory about how municipal administrations imagine citizen proximity. People come from the town or want to move there and say what would be important to them. And the children who are still in their moms’ bellies during that talk night will already be at school when the development digging finally starts. After such events, I always understand where people’s political apathy comes from :-( Single-family home builders aren’t looking for plots for some never-never day, but for a house ready to move into next year.
