Hello,
we have been offered a plot of land from a community of heirs. The background is that the community of heirs lives in Hannover and the plot is located in Berlin.
Here are a few bullet points about the plot (statements from the provider):
- used only as garden land since the 1930s
- many years ago there was a small garden house, which has already been demolished
- a few fruit trees and shrubs, presumably all overgrown since no one has been on site for a very long time and nothing has been maintained
- fully developed
- fruit trees can be cleared without permission
- no contaminated sites
We have now looked at the plot and were initially a bit disappointed. The whole thing resembles a forest. However, we are convinced that it has potential.
So far, we only have the word of the provider and nothing reliable. We are now wondering how to proceed best here. Today I first sent the pictures to the provider, let's see what he says about the condition.
Our idea is:
To ask companies specialized in clearing if a rough estimate of the costs for clearing based on pictures is possible. Or does it also make sense here to ask the construction company if they can do these works as well? (Doing it ourselves would be great but we have no time and no equipment for these tasks)
What is also not yet clear is whether the plot can be built on at all according to our ideas. Where and how can I clarify this question? The provider said building is possible according to the surrounding development.
In this picture the street side of the plot can be seen:
