Hello everyone, I could (once again) use some advice from the experts here. There is a plot of land, 35 km from Stuttgart, that my partner and I might be interested in. It has a plot area of 425 sqm, but with restrictions, if I understand correctly. The standard land value in this location is 600 €, the plot is supposed to cost 350 T€. What bothers us are the two garages on plot 1848, which also look completely dilapidated (actually ready for demolition up close, especially from the back). And of course the path that would run directly past the house. The plot + additional costs would consume all our equity. There are two of us, but we would need about 110 sqm of living space and maybe 30 sqm of storage/utility space. And a carport. According to the seller, there is no building obligation. The builder of the house on 1849/1 is related to the owner of 1849. Is it feasible to build a house on this plot that meets these requirements? Are there any deductions when crediting the plot as equity? How would you assess the living quality - also with regard to a later sale? Many thanks in advance for your thoughts.

Hello,
who made the drawings with the pink area where it says [Bauverbot] in bold letters? Likewise the note with the [Grunddienstbarkeit]?
I compare the sketches and plans, also aerial images, but I cannot come to a conclusion whether something is misdrawn and shifted by about 3 meters.
The fact is: where it says [Bauverbot], there is indeed a building ban. This also applies to garage or carport. Because from there, the [1849/1] should presumably be accessed, whatever property that may be. I do not see it. Or is there a typo and it is meant to be [1848/1]?
The 13-meter building window length is extended to 15 meters in another drawing. How do they come up with that? The drawing also ignores the building boundary to the street…


If you cannot live with the design, age or proximity of neighbors, then you should not buy such a property. The garages have their right to exist, even if they look neglected in your eyes. They are not, and will probably fulfill their purpose. These are signs of aging that one usually treats a garage somewhat more negligently, especially with border construction. Everyone is responsible for their property, fencing, and thus privacy shielding themselves. This means: you yourself have the task of covering the offending stone with privacy screening or hedge, if you want it that way. Basically, as the last neighbor, you adapt to the existing situation and tolerate it. Or you ask if you may paint them. There is no expectation.

There is also a typo there … [1849] is your preferred property, right?!
But if [1848] is meant and you already mention it, there is (spoken quietly) a lot of potential for conflict.

You have to decide that yourself, how many properties there are in your area and with what potential they are advertised at what price, what you want to build for and what you expect from a house or a garden.
We from the countryside would avoid such parcels, and not because of the garages. Something like that is common in the village.

So with the seller of the plot you are interested in, and has preferred the building site in the second row here. No further questions, Your Honor! A building ban - which would otherwise be worth investigating further - will also apply to the desired carport. Conclusion: keep looking! (What actually happened to the end terrace house?).

Oh, that's right, the black outline doesn't fit. Thanks for the hint.

And as for the garage, well, we do have a few small concerns.

Yes, then the "remaining" plot would be uninteresting for us because hardly anything would be left. And thanks for asking - the seller of the terraced house has his own house purchase project that didn’t work out. Therefore, he has temporarily stopped his own sale. This is what we were told.

I personally would first subtract the entire area with right of way (am I correct in seeing that this has already been paved by the rear neighbor?) from the total area. That is about 79 sqm, if I have calculated correctly. So you still have about 350 sqm of land with further restrictions (building ban for garage). For that, I would consider €350K completely overpriced compared to the BRW you mentioned, especially in the current market situation. If the thing cost €200K, one could consider it, but in this case I would keep looking.
