Is green space convertible to building land?

If it is only about investing money, I would still buy the field and lease it out. The chance that it will become building land is high due to the location. Local conditions such as demand, price of arable land, is building land scarce? etc. That would be your intuition, which has to assess chance and risk here. Remember, the farmer also knows where his field is. You won't get it for 4,- per sqm. Bet on it! Karsten

Talk to the municipality. It’s not impossible.

If there is no corresponding zoning plan, the chance of success is zero. Ok – if you are the farmer yourself, your own brother is the mayor, all neighbors are in the shooting club, no jealous person finds out, and you know some insider at the authority that draws up the zoning plan, it might work. A considerable amount of criminal energy/under-the-table dealing tacitly assumed.

The chance of success exists only if all conditions regarding agricultural land are met, including the farmer himself. But even he will surely have to wait years. Buying first to then speculate on building land has almost no chance unless there is currently a shortage of building land in the district. Such things are also weighed alongside the social component (farmer family’s own land).
Bargain hunters, on the other hand, are not favored. That’s just how it is

That is the biggest nonsensical rubbish you could possibly come up with on the topic. Nothing is right at all, and I have read it multiple times benevolently.

If it’s only about investment, I would still buy the field and lease it. The chance of it becoming building land is high given the location.

How do you come up with such a statement? What you’re saying here completely ignores the criminal relevance, because some idiot might actually get the idea to buy this 99.999999% worthless field at an exorbitant price just because someone wrote it somewhere in a forum – who unfortunately has no clue.

If it is or would be land expected to be converted to building land… then the farmer would (!!!) have known that long ago. And would certainly not sell it at the price of farmland, but swap the area roughly at a ratio of 4:1 or even worse for more farmland, i.e., to get a foot in the door at all, you need a lot (!) of exchange land. Waving money around currently makes no sense at all with farmers, unless you happened to find one who’s in serious trouble and you are also the first to know about it.

Local conditions like demand, farmland price, is building land scarce? etc.

No, no, no, and again no. And before you ask – the answer remains no.

That would be your instinct, which must sniff out chance and risk here. Remember, the farmer also knows where his field is. You won’t get it for 4 euros per sqm. Bet! Karsten

Anything above 2€ is money that laypeople should rather use to light a cigar – you get more pleasure out of it.

Unbelievable.

That is the biggest incoherent nonsense one can possibly come up with on the subject. Nothing is really true there and I have now read it benevolently several times.

Why? Did I express myself unclearly? It is basically the same as what you wrote. At least regarding the topic of a farmer who wants to build himself.

I can still explain the last part once more: If there is no building land left anywhere in the area, then it is more likely that the possibility exists to release peripheral areas as building land. But if, next to an agricultural area, there are still free plots, then the building authority will certainly not release the farmland.

That is not nonsense, that is how it is handled. Are you having a bad day, Dirk?

That is simply _not_ how it is handled. However, since your response does not surprise me, I will draw the consequences from my "bad day."

Kind regards

Yvonne, Dirk may be an expert, and yet you are right. It is happening here exactly where I live. The development area is de facto sold. Just one or two remaining lots. The city has acquired a field again immediately next to an older development area. Why do you think? Not to harvest wheat there. The farmer got good money for his field. Karsten

Yvonne, Dirk may be an expert, and yet you are right.

Thank you
Yes, I know... it also happens with us and is logically understandable: Authorities resist when there is no necessity, but can enable a lot if they want to bring purchasing power into the district, although no building opportunities are left.
However, all components are checked, reviewed and ... the process can become too long for the individual.
