Good morning,
Then I sincerely congratulate you!
For him (the seller) it will take too long - see our previous conversation - until the GU (it will not be a BT, otherwise he would have bought the property, but then we have the described problem of real estate transfer tax and whether the seller accepts handling via share deal, I doubt that) has sold all 4 parcels. Only then will money flow; unless the land charge reservation has to be awaited.
Basically, I want to agree, but not in your case. You definitely want the property and have - due to a lack of offers - few alternatives; you shouldn’t gamble! I have seen too many disappointed faces who ultimately had to soberly realize that someone else was faster. At the moment, you can take advantage of the opportunity because you are in the comfortable situation that the seller has approached you. BUT also here: don’t gamble too much! Properties in this area are rare and it would take the devil to find no buyers soon. If I knew exactly who the seller is, I already have 2 interested parties in mind who probably would not hesitate to jump in. This part of Cologne is in demand.
What you should/can do: ask the neighbors if there have been any "surprises" in their soil. Anything that does not lead to blasting/marshland as an answer is financially manageable without disproportionately exceeding your budget.
Then it depends crucially on how and with whom you want to build. Not a few providers include the soil survey as part of their service; so you might otherwise invest double, or at least more money, than necessary. Most providers, including us, have regular surveyors they work with and naturally get different conditions. If you decide from the start to work with an architect beyond pure planning up to the building application, you can - if the seller cooperates - also commission a soil survey beforehand. All this becomes irrelevant if the properties are tied to the provider for a period of "x". In this context: also ask if you have to pay a commission.
First of all, it depends on how the access to the property looks. If the trees are in the way, you have to apply for a felling permit; the same applies if they are in the building area.
You are lucky with the time window because the tree protection statute provides that felling is allowed again from October (until March). Tip: if you - for whatever reason - consider felling, use the time until March; not every municipality prioritizes the builder’s right to erect a house over the tree protection statute. It could take until October next year, in the worst case, before you can even think of starting construction!
Of course you can post it here; however not as a link, but as a jpg.
Rhenish regards
He called again today. Now he is willing to sell the one half of the property together. And it would even be conceivable that I build the house with my own architect. I was on the property today and from my point of view, it would fit quite well.

Before buying something like this, should you generally get a soil survey? Is that necessary if it’s a property where a house already stands that will be demolished, or is it rather only useful for newly developed residential areas?

There is very old tree stock on the property. Among others, two very very tall trees. On the one hand, they take a lot of light, but I think they can also enrich the garden somehow. You aren’t allowed to just cut something like that down so easily, right?

I would very much like to post the cadastral map but unfortunately you are not allowed to insert links here. Or is there a way for me to show the cadastral map here? Then it would be easier to discuss...
Of course you can post it here; however not as a link, but as a jpg.
