Is a basement feasible without problems?

Hello dear community,

I have been reading a lot and things are slowly starting for us as well.

We have a plot of land in the Hannover region and yesterday we had a soil survey with 4 boreholes carried out to make sure that we can build our single-family house with a basement. The soil surveyor found water at a depth of 4.5 m, but said that there should be no problems with a basement without a white tank. The soil is otherwise very good. He was quite enthusiastic. Some neighbors in the area have had wells drilled and said that they had to drill up to 8 m deep to reach water.

The "high" water yesterday was apparently also due to the big storm we had here in and around Hannover on Sunday evening. The soil surveyor said that too...

Do you have any further advice or recommendations for or against a basement?

If the soil expert says so, then everything is fine :). Well drilling also results in water at 8-12m here, otherwise we have the finest rabbit sand, so the best building ground :). Water drains away immediately here, and therefore we do have a concrete cellar, but not as a "white tank"... By the way, we built recklessly without an expert report ;)
