Selection of a plot in the new development area

Those would not be my favorites at all because of the access in the south. I would always place a house as far north and east as possible because of the terrace and garden use. Otherwise, you create unnecessarily long driveways that cost money and take up space.

Why do I say 9 or 1, and not 5: because 9 and 1 are E-parcels and 5 is an E/D-parcel (and thus a pain-in-the-ass parcel: if 8 and 7 enter a semi-detached marriage, you either have to do the same with 6 on 5 or 6 remains single and has to build a bowling alley with two building widths – cheers to the neighborly relations). Whoever foregoes the sacred escape door does not have to slam the garage, stealing from the floor area ratio, right at the northern boundary before Canossa. And sun worshippers move their lounge chair in March or October from the terrace to the lawn – "everything is possible" (to quote the favorite catchphrase of real estate agents, hehe).

They do have oddly shaped building envelopes, but that should be relatively irrelevant since they are big enough to still build a nice house on them.

For my part. With 26 I already hear whining that no square suburban villa fits on it.

I would prefer the plots by the river because you border on the landscape and are not so surrounded, IF the flood protection is ensured. For that, I would ask some of the very old locals...

On the left edge of the plan area you can see how much distance the old-timers kept from the floodplains with their building area.

That is the question how many "opponents" there actually are and at which point the OP gets to choose. If he is at the top of the list, he does not have to worry about anything.

I didn’t want to repeat for the umpteenth time in this selection discussion: that the process of the "drawing lots" is the essential second card shuffler after the oversubscription rate (and the questioners regularly come to this playing field way too naively). I assume that the OP will not be allowed to choose first and therefore has to guess strategically – hence my follow-up question (at least as a prompt for thought).

Whoever gives up the holy escape door doesn’t have to stick the garage, stealing building coverage ratio, just before Canossa on the northern border. And sun worshippers slide their deckchair from the terrace onto the lawn in March or October – “anything is possible” (to quote the favorite catchphrase of real estate agents, hehe).

All reasons not to choose any of the parcels in the middle. Even if you place the garage as close as possible to the driveway, you unnecessarily take away a beautiful south garden. You have to create a path from the garage to the house anyway. You will certainly get more sealed surface area than with a northern driveway (unless you fancy a north-facing terrace). And the garage near the house entrance has advantages; I wouldn’t want it 30 m away if it can be avoided.

I wouldn’t assume that nowadays anymore. But I would try to find that out in the scheduled meeting.

Hello everyone,

thank you for all the thoughts.
I am currently on the go and will properly address everything this evening.

First of all, we are in 10th place in the ranking - info just came in.

Best regards

All reasons not to choose any of the properties in the middle. Even if you place the garage as close as possible to the driveway, you are unnecessarily taking away a nice south garden. You will have to make a path from the garage to the house anyway. You will definitely end up with more sealed surfaces than with a north access (unless you like a north terrace). And the garage close to the house entrance does have advantages; I wouldn't want it 30 m away if it can be avoided.

That there is south in all four cardinal directions only at the North Pole, we will not be able to change. So for a relevant remaining southern part even in the worst case layout, you need about 700 sqm, which is also not up for discussion here. Or you stick to your demands anyway, then probably only the three most desired plots come into question, with the consequence of the necessity of the highest lottery luck.

First of all, we are in 10th place in the ranking - info just came in.

If nine other players go before you, you could already cross out the nine most attractive properties if they apply the same criteria as you do. Assuming an average match of tastes among the players, this still applies to four. Therefore, my fully serious follow-up question is how okay a consolation prize would be for you.

I would no longer assume that nowadays. But I would try to find that out in the scheduled conversation.

Not "in", but "before". Your luck is that the other players on average go into the game just as naively. Now I wish you first of all Masel tov!

I was once 5th and still kept my property which was ranked 1st for me.

Good luck.

There are also some who do not go because they have not been able or willing to afford it for a long time.

In addition, you can possibly put yourself on a list in case someone withdraws.

I made a list with different criteria. Rated by price, location, and buildability. Then you can rate the most important one with 50%, the next with 30%, and then 20% for the less important criterion. Then I assigned rankings for each criterion. Then I sorted the plots according to the sum of the rankings. In the list, I then crossed out the allocated plots during the negotiation, and that way I could immediately say which plot was my preferred one.

I knew exactly which plot I wanted to put myself on the withdrawal list for.
