Expand property

You can also write into a lease agreement that the lease is €0 or €1 per year
It simply states all rights and obligations, for example that you have to maintain it, who can terminate when and with what notice period, etc.

just called around again, since the street up here by me is still half finished it will only be done after that is finished, then it can be leased out, since I am still in the early stages everything still has time anyway, maybe there will even be a bit of money left *dream* then I'll just buy it and the matter is settled

The question would also be - if the neighbors really unbedingt want to get rid of it, couldn't they also contribute to the costs incurred?! 20m2 really don't bring anything, you could also take the one (instead of 800) euro and be happy about less work etc (from their perspective)?!

This is a good idea. Have you ever thought about it?

The property belongs to the municipality, I am kind of pissed off about it anyway, they actually kept it from me (wanted to save surveying costs), the "strip" is on the entrance side, if I had known that beforehand I would have bought it as well and I could move the house 1.50m further forward, thus I would have a 1.50m wider garden on the terrace, basically I could sue because on the development plan before the purchase it looked completely different than it is now

Hello oggear51,

from my point of view, you can forget about a lawsuit against the development plan because the plan is formally (probably) correct. If the city doesn’t pay attention during the division of the property and such "dead" strips are created, ultimately that is their marketing problem, but not subject to complaint.

I would simply go to the city and offer them to purchase the strip minus the surveying costs at the standard land value. Or the city should pay for the division and you pay the standard land value without surveying costs. There will only be two interested parties for the strip, meaning the strip is basically unsalable unless it still serves as an access road for possibly rear parcels of value. If the other neighbor isn’t interested, then you are the only people on this planet who would even spend money on it.

Best regards
