Divisible property for siblings

Hello dear forum members,

the following situation:

Two siblings along with their partners want to build next to each other. After a long (unsuccessful) search for two individual adjacent plots, they find a large divisible plot (front/back) in the desired area. The division has not yet taken place but according to the building authority, it should not be a problem. The neighboring plots have already been divided and built on accordingly. The land is planned to be purchased soon, with construction in two to three years.

The following questions:

How is it best to buy the entire plot now?
Do all four persons go into the land register?
Does it make sense if one couple officially finances alone?
How will the corresponding subplots be allocated after the surveying?
What would be the most cost-neutral way for the acquisition of the property and the later division?

Which general points should be considered when dividing a "hammer plot"?

Thank you in advance for the answers and other food for thought.

Hello MisterTheo,

we had a similar situation to yours. Only that the large plot was supposed to be divided from the beginning, although no parcels had been determined yet.
In my opinion, based on this experience, the best way is as follows:
First, of course, the seller should be informed about the intention of the purchase and the division.
Then I would roughly divide the plot with both parties involved. For example, mark it out with survey tape.
After that, the surveyor must come in. He needs to measure the areas precisely to determine the sizes of the new parcels and then he can apply for the subdivision permit.
Once this is finally approved and the new parcels are named, everyone can be registered in the land register separately and each plot is treated individually.
Something similar worked for us as well. Although it is a lengthy procedure, if you want to build in 2-3 years anyway, then that is no problem.
