Dear community!
I am very impressed by all the expertise here. Now I need help regarding property division. We have confusing and partly contradictory information about what is possible, and the responsible building authority is dragging its feet. We are planning the construction of a detached single-family house in a village in Baden-Württemberg. For this, the parental property is to be divided. It is developed with a multi-family house and a solidly built shed with an integrated garage. Adjacent to this is a paddock, where our house is supposed to be (see site plan). Half of the shed shall serve as a replacement cellar for us as well as a shelter for bicycles, strollers, etc. The other half with the garage can only be accessed from the parental side and is supposed to remain there. So far the plan. The shed is built of aerated concrete, 12.5m wide, 11m long and 5.90m high, has a gable roof (covered with Eternit panels) and a roof overhang of 2.90m towards the paddock. This could be dismantled.
There are now several options:
1. Divide the shed in the middle. Problem: The wall inside is not continuous. For a division, apparently a firewall is necessary, what would that cost?
2. Zigzag division: We divide inside along the wall, the garage remains in front, the rest goes to us. Too complicated?
3. We get the entire shed, the parents get usage rights for the garage.
4. The entire shed remains with the parents, we get usage rights. How big would the distance between the new building and the shed have to be in this case? Is it allowed for the boundary to run directly along the shed?
5. Partial demolition and new roof, whereby a) only the garage remains, b) the entire parental half remains and they receive the missing outer wall. Problem: Eternit panels, high costs??
What do you think? What would make sense? Have we not considered an option? The shed is huge, we actually don’t need that much storage space. However, we shy away from the costs of a (partial) demolition and the disposal of the Eternit panels.
Many thanks!
