Well, your hillside location is not much "better" than a property threatened by a hypothetical flood - even if all insurance mathematics can be evaluated. I myself would only have the Rhine 50m in front of the door if the dike broke. My residential area, developed about one hundred and twenty years ago - so before the dike was built - is therefore higher. We all have basements; at least, I am not aware of any exception. For several years now, prospective builders have been getting so excited that their ignition coils can soon overheat when they have been searching for a while. Anyone who has already seen many sick pigeons gladly takes the sparrow in the hand. And 550 sqm is not little today, especially 0.4 / 0.8 - mind you: depending on whether the slope is fully included.

OT: Since when does a slope count towards the floor area ratio? I've never heard that before. Is that normal?

You must have misunderstood me: not into the floor area ratio itself (like a terrace or driveway), but into the calculation basis. Prescribed planting strips etc. are often deducted from the plot area before calculating the floor area ratio. Then the meadow pleases the dog, but it does not benefit the base slab.

True, my hillside location is not better. But the difference is that my first thought was not "How much does the view cost me" and can I afford it!?

Besides, my hillside location is more predictable than a flood zone. No statistics or probability calculations can help there. See Oder flood in the late 90s or Deggendorf.

I am of the opinion that you don’t have to chase every opportunity. Especially not when massive costs are foreseeable in every respect.

For something like that, however, you can create a decision matrix to introduce a bit of objectivity.

...and in case it helps you , despite all the dire predictions, it is possible to create sufficient basement replacement space even without a basement and with a flat roof... we have accommodated it in 156 sqm in 2.5 storage rooms + a small garden shed and are super satisfied
