Submit a purchase request - how/who?

Good day,
I am interested in a plot of land in a medium-sized town, which is currently only used as a parking lot. As far as I know, it belongs to a private individual.

My question is how to present the purchase inquiry to the owner as professionally as possible.

- Should I do this personally or rather through a lawyer, tax advisor, notary, broker, bank ...?
- An initial inquiry whether there is any interest in selling at all or immediately a concrete offer?
- An initial telephone inquiry (if the number can be found) or only in writing?

I am of course happy to receive other suggestions as well.

Best regards,
Pommesgabel

PS: If I have ended up in the wrong subforum, please move it.

If you know exactly who to ask, then do it in person.

1. Call and arrange an appointment for a personal meeting.

2. At the appointment, immediately state your price expectation and describe the project.

3. For many, it’s not about the last euro but the emotion ... families with children need space ...
