Divide property - new construction - right of way?

Good evening and thank you very much for your answers,

unfortunately, we currently do not have an exact site plan, I am attaching an excerpt from Google Maps. The property is located in 76756 Bellheim. It is number 58 shown in the picture.

we have not yet reviewed exactly what is stated in the development plan, but the uncle who currently owns one-third of the house works at the town hall as a department head and told us he checked and that building is allowed at the back. Upwards towards number 60 directly at the border and downwards towards number 58 with a distance of 3 meters. This information has been sufficient for us so far.

I had to google the floor area ratio first. Unfortunately, we do not currently know what that is. But since there is direct access from the main house to the laundry room and the very long shed, which all would have to go for a new house, I think the built-up area would hardly change.

Thank you, we will definitely find out more about this together with the development plan.

thanks, well, just because we can’t get used to it doesn’t mean someone else will say great, that is exactly what we imagine and we can make something really good out of it. But yes, I do know what you mean and what you are getting at.

thank you very much to you as well. Well, the existing building is actually great, everything is dry, well and thickly built, no cracks, 275 cm ceiling height, but you would really have to gut it down to the bare shell including the roof structure and then rebuild it fresh. I would be eager to do that and I am also very skilled in craftsmanship and already have some experience in that regard. In the end, it would be a one-man show though, since friends all live quite far away and have families, I had a disc surgery last winter and think it would simply be too much. And if you have a lot done by others, I think it wouldn’t be much different from a new build, correct me if I’m wrong. And without demolition of the annexes there would be no way to achieve an energy-efficient renovation and insulation of the outer shell anyway.

We will find out about the floor area ratio, but there are already a few in the street that also have a new building behind the old house. The municipality is very focused on densification.

We look forward to further answers and are excited, best regards

... but you would really have to strip it down to the complete shell

Yes, normally.

including the roof structure and then rebuild fresh.

Why? Is there something wrong? Worm damage, rot, moisture or any other damage? Usually, when gutting, you keep the shell and the roof truss, which saves you those parts. If the latter also has to go and you don’t like the shell anyway, then demolition is probably more sensible. However, I would resist splitting the rather small plot, especially with tenants or even selling. If I’m already tearing down, I would therefore remove everything and gain the building plot for myself to create a nice garden in the back.

….which would all have to go for a new house, I think the built-up area would hardly change.

There you write something you hadn’t written before. For me, according to the initial post, the extension is part of the existing building… yes, of course boundaries and the existing building as well as the space for the new building shift when you demolish. I referred to the fact that you would demolish if you renovate at the front.

well, just because we can’t come to terms with it doesn’t mean someone else will say, great, that’s exactly what we imagine and that we can make something really good out of it.

Well, what does the old masonry still have to offer?

but there are already a few on the street who also have a new building behind the old house.

Then Google is not up to date?
Get yourself a current site plan… costs €10 and you need it anyway.

I would really like that and I am also very skilled at handicrafts…

Renovating doesn’t mean you yourself do a five-year DIY construction site. For something like that, there are companies.

I missed this question:

Would we then have to divide the plot over the full width of 13m and would we need a right of way as the plot lies behind or could we keep the yard so that the new buyer has a right of way since the entrance is on the back side. Or is something like this generally free to decide?

That depends: old house or plot, for example, needs a parking space – and the usual distance requirements must be met. Just like you. You need a right of way to your rear plot. That would already be a deal breaker for many to buy the house in front: 10 meters width, 7 meters house width, no garden. Contaminated site with renovation backlog… where or how can one come to an agreement there? What advantage does this piece of land bring?

By dividing it, you chop up a plot that is not exactly bringing plus points for either of you. Also not for you (if you believe Uncle). It’s simply too tight. Yes, if it were in the middle of M, that little plot would make sense… but at that price, there will probably be even better residential offers.

The existing building is constructed on one boundary.

Since in RLP a minimum distance of 3m applies for new buildings, you would have to comply with that on every side. So 13-2x3=7m remain for the new building. With the size of the property, you couldn’t even attach a semi-detached house to the existing building!

Unless the municipality approves a new residential building as a replacement for the stables in the old structure and the neighbor agrees. That would be a realistic option for two houses—if it is approvable. Ask your uncle!
