Good day,
My partner and I have the opportunity to buy the house with the land of her grandmother. This is part of an inheritance community of her mother, aunt, and uncle.
Numbers and facts:
The plot is about 13m wide and 50m long, thus 650m2.
The house stands on approximately 8x9m, with an additional 1.5m needed for the entrance, so 8x10.5m.
Built in 1955 and last renovated over 30 years ago. Oil heating from 1973, electricity only with a few screw fuses, and water through galvanized pipes, so it is completely in need of core renovation.
Except for the floor of the ground floor, all floors, i.e. the upper and attic floors, are built in wooden beam construction.
Value according to the expert used the average m2 value for the locality and thus was 360,000€. My partner’s mother would waive her part to us and with some negotiation we thus reckon the whole would cost us about 200,000€.
We just can’t get anywhere in creating a suitable floor plan for us.
Now we have considered buying the whole thing and directly dividing the plot at the house and building new at the back. This is also possible according to the development plan.
Who has experience with such an approach and can help us further?
Can a house without a garden, i.e. only with the land it stands on, be sold well?
How does it work with the obligations to install a new heating system within two years, to insulate the bottom and top floor ceilings if one does not move into the house and wants to sell it directly? Do we then have to do this as interim new owners or is it skipped over us?
Directly at the house there are still annexes such as a laundry room, old stables, and two huge tobacco sheds, which we would first have to separate from the house and demolish. How would you proceed? Are such costs manageable?
Would we then have to divide the plot across the full width of 13m and would we need an easement for a path on the plot behind, or could we keep the courtyard so that the new buyer has an easement, since the entrance is on the rear side? Or is something like this generally free to decide?
How does one do something like this with financing, assuming we would have to finance 200,000 and within a few months would get 150,000 back for the house and would then need another 300,000 for demolition of the old annexes and new construction?
I am attaching a plan. In general, we have so many questions and hardly know where to start, so please excuse if this all seems somewhat confusing and overloaded.
Kind regards
