Semi-detached house for rent. Criticism and suggestions are welcome

Is there one heating system for all houses together?

No, each half gets a separate heating system

each half gets a separate heating system

Why? Do you then want to drill 6 times?
I've never dealt with the topic before, but I could imagine that one large system is more worthwhile than 6 small ones. Similar to apartments. The advantage would be that no technology is needed in the houses.
That reminds me: our last house was a terraced house. The row of houses belonged together with a high-rise building. We didn't have our own heating system in the house.

Okay, so then a semi-detached house.

Still, rely on catalog models.

As you describe the market, there would be excess demand to build semi-detached houses (developers also offer these), but for rent (they do not offer this, and that would be your market niche). So look for a template for a semi-detached house (and use, on the one hand, the freedom of the undivided plot and also spread your risk by having unequal halves for only similar but not identical target groups; i.e. think away from the 50/50 equal division).

Build a semi-detached house for example 7m/8m wide and already look for rental applicants during the planning phase, to whom you still offer some influence – basically like a developer, only renting out instead. Of course only to a limited extent (no full floor plan discussion with the first tenants, only a maximum of two non-load-bearing walls may be moved, choose floor coverings, etc.). I also always recommend the standard differentiation (in the 8m half “masonry” walk-in shower, in the other only glass cabin, double washbasin in the major house installed and in the minor house classic basin, etc.), but strictly speaking I consider the lot size of 2 residential units as an investor project peanuts, just to mention this for the sake of order.

I see no point in a floor plan discussion with you, since you do not want to build for your own use. Investment properties should be approached unemotionally and market-oriented. The first step “market-oriented” you have already taken by surveying the market and justifying the semi-detached house. Now you should refine this (see my suggestion with the standard differentiation and thus already securing the first tenants), and also take the second step, not to make the floor plan your baby.

I find a shared heating system / or a shared connection room for both units good – but how does come up with a six-family house???

THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!! I needed this recommendation.

Ah yes, aha. In #23 the plot also seems on the one hand suitable for three semi-detached houses and on the other hand already developed at the top right of the plan with garages assigned to three house numbers (???)

Correct, there are 3 garages on the plot which I will use as storage during the construction phase.

The sewage connection is available, it is near the garages, so sewage pipes will run towards the garden (utility room towards the garden fits). The water supplier is also cooperating; they will set up a shaft with the main meter and from there we will lay the pipes into the houses. The only electricity supplier is being difficult and wants a separate connection for each half.

Yes, but of the duplexes, there should now be one or three - where does the restriction to 15 m width on the large plot come from?

I just wanted to ask about the floor plan first and not lay all the cards on the table.

15m because 6m distance must be kept between the houses and 3m to the neighbor.

For terraced houses it works because most are built with basements and the houses are connected to each other; with semi-detached houses it becomes more difficult. I still keep an option open with selling (unlikely), yes, the easement for the lines must be registered but the buyer does not have to install their own system and if there was no space planned for one, it becomes even more difficult.

People like me can be switched from helpful to angry with this simple trick, plus you regret giving advice based on false assumptions. You can now strike my sentence about the peanuts, but the suggestion about differentiation you would now have to think one dimension higher. On the "new business basis" I would now advise completely differently: my previous advice now applies to the two outer semi-detached houses; in construction phase I I would put a two-family house in the middle, with integrated garages on the street side, a garden-side granny flat on the ground floor, and on top a "bungalow"; in construction phase IIa a semi-detached house on the left side of the plan, and in construction phase IIb demolish the old garages and put a semi-detached house on the right side of the plan.

The only thing is the power supplier is being stubborn and wants a connection for each half

Nonsense babble. A multi-family house does not need multiple connection rooms just because it is spread over three building bodies – at least not as long as you do not subdivide the property. I renew my suggestion of a central house connection room and add the recommendation to consider the keyword combined heat and power plant. By the way, the project is slowly reaching stages where 1. your inheritance planning would require a specialist, and 2. it should be an honor for semi-detached and two-family house providers to submit proposals to you.
