Hello dear forum,
I will inherit a plot of land next year. On it stands an old house (bungalow) that is partially basemented, as well as an adjacent garage. This garage is exactly on the property line. Since I am an absolute layman in this area and want to be a bit prepared, I have a few questions:
1.) What kind of costs should I expect for a demolition? Can I also do it myself if I organize a construction waste container?
2.) Can I build on top of the basement again if it is reinforced or if the statics would support it, or do you advise that it should be completely removed?
3.) Should I leave the garage standing because of the boundary? How many meters would I then have to setback?
4.) Can I already have a soil survey done, or should it be done rather soon? I ask because this way everything could be prepared little by little and it would also save money.
I am very excited about this.
I would like to thank you very much in advance for the answers.
