Good evening everyone,
next week my partner and I will be looking at a building plot. The plan is to buy it and develop it within the next < 5 years (currently living a bit away because of work and the costs for building land are currently skyrocketing).
The plot to be viewed is currently undeveloped, but all utilities are available at the street, and it is the last plot on the street.
From research on the internet, I have so far been able to get benchmark prices for what the development of the plot would cost.
We do not want a gas connection because we plan to go with geothermal or an air heat pump here.
Are these prices realistic or are they completely dependent on, for example, where the nearest distribution box is? In my defense, I must say that this whole thing happened a bit faster than expected.
I have already noted down some questions we want to ask the real estate agent.
- Plot surveyed?
- Is there a soil report or contamination report?
- Possible number of floors and house type
If a soil report is not yet available, we would like to commission one before purchasing the plot (600€?). If the survey has not yet been done, we expect about 2,500€. However, in this context, I am already wondering if a survey is not mandatory before the purchase of the plot? What if there is a significant deviation in the stated plot size?
As a newcomer, I would be glad if we could get some more suggestions.
Thank you very much and have a nice evening!
