Is a price reduction possible for an irregularly shaped plot of land?

Hello everyone.

I want to buy a piece of land from my sister. Unfortunately, the plot is irregularly shaped. The rough shape is square (about 30 x 30m). Unfortunately, there is an 8x8m square cut out at one corner of the plot that belongs to the neighbor. My sister wants to charge me the full standard land value rate per sqm. Unfortunately, I don’t see why I should, since I have this "stupid" corner on the plot and am therefore somewhat restricted regarding house construction. Is there a way to reduce the standard land value? Many thanks!!!!!

Hello,

Is there a way to reduce the BRW?

Legally? Not really!

We live in a free country where everyone can set the selling price freely. If it seems too high to you, you will have to calmly discuss with your sister why you consider a price reduction appropriate for whatever reasons. If she accepts your arguments: good for you. If she sticks to her position, you have made a bad deal and must either bite the bullet or look for another property.

Yes... you reduce it. Whether your sister accepts it? Unclear. Supply and demand. On the other hand, it is your sister – I would advise against quarreling with her forever over €2000. It's not worth it (without knowing you or your sister).

Our property is also a bit slanted which is somewhat unfortunate but it is difficult for us to get plots anyway, so we accept it because next door the Sparkasse is selling their plots for more expensive and we also know from the seller that there were many interested parties behind us who said they would jump on it immediately if we were to back out.

So I agree with BeHaJa about supply and demand.
If there is enough land available then maybe something can be done, if not, presumably enough others will make the compromise and the plot will find its buyer.

Aren't many plots somewhat irregularly shaped? Even in new development areas, plots often come out with awkward corners. The only argument for me would be a "gnawed" building envelope, which can only be built on with a complex house. But isn't it the case that especially irregular or towel-shaped infill plots sell for multiples of the standard land value?

Only this argument counts in the end :)

Oh dear, buying within the family and it’s about the dear money.... You should talk about it normally and be aware that your sister could potentially sell this property elsewhere. That could, in turn, lead to more stress within the family.

There is contractual freedom in Germany and currently every half-decent property is being sold like hotcakes. As a seller, I would not grant a discount. Especially since MY sister would always hold that against me.
