Relationships between land registry entry and buildability

If the building authority has already given the green light, it sounds good. Just for your information: There are sometimes special cases: outdoor areas that are enclosed by indoor areas, etc. That can be very complicated at times,...

I thought the same about the secondary ranking, but sometimes it’s strange.
Fortunately, the people at the building authority are super friendly and explain everything.

Another point, which is not really up for debate now but just occurred to me: Sometimes such entries in the land register could also be to the detriment of the owners. Imagine you want to sell your property. A prospective buyer looks at the land register and sees "garden land". Naturally, they will try to negotiate the price for the garden land. Of course, they might encounter "deaf ears" on the seller’s side, but this could just as well cause potential buyers to slip through their fingers. Well, be that as it may, it’s a rather confusing detail that should definitely be questioned or checked carefully.
Thanks for your answers!

The land register can be cleared of unnecessary/no longer needed entries at any time. This is subject to a fee, but if the entry possibly stands in the way of a sale, then it might be worth investing in it. There are entries/deletions associated with incredible amounts of around €50.

Hello Dirk,
but can I simply go to the land registry office and say that the entry is old and that the property can now be developed? Making it effectively building land?

Theoretically yes, but you can save yourself the trip. If it is designated in the [Bebauungsplan] or if you obtain a building permit by other means, the land register/cadastre will be updated after the completion of the building.

There are special cases where you might only be able/should correct it in the land register afterwards, but I hardly believe that applies to you. You have basically already received the go-ahead from the building authority, so I wouldn’t waste any energy on that.

Dirk, what I don't understand right now. A land register is a land register. If it is then built on, how is it updated? Does it then say in the land register that it is built with a single-family house or what? I just don't understand what is meant by "the land register/cadastre is updated after the completion of the building." Thanks for the clarification.
