That would also be the logical conclusion from my point of view, which is why I am surprised by 11ant’s opinion. And don’t worry, these are currently only considerations; I just wanted to clarify first whether it is even possible (because I also have doubts about that).



Yes, that is possible, the lady from the city also confirmed it. By not simultaneously I mean completely staggered, i.e. one builds immediately, the other only in 2-3 years.

You will have to submit ONE building permit for a house with two residential units to even have a chance. So a two-family house, but not divided horizontally, rather vertically. Then you are only building one house.

Then my doubts are confirmed. Then such constructs actually only make sense if you buy the semi-detached house from a BT and do not build it yourself.

Do you have any reference number for that? I was just curious, but I'm having a hard time googling it right now. I mean, basically, extensions where an additional residential unit possibly arises are not so unusual, right?

The goalkeeper case shows problems that arise less from the real division and more from the stupidity of the neighbor. I would – even if one might need a digestif for the long thread – not dismiss it as supposedly irrelevant and would deal with it even in your place. A commercial builder rarely pulls back from a business opportunity without reason. Therefore, my suspicion is that he has already submitted a building inquiry and signaled to have suffered shipwreck with it. Due to data protection reasons, the building authority is unfortunately not allowed to disclose this to you. Legally, I see a semi-detached house according to WEG as a two-family house and see no reason to deny a permit for two construction phases alone if the single-family house is also allowed to have two residential units. At least the preliminary building inquiry clarifies this bindingly and affordably. Such an inquiry could also be submitted with a mirror clone dummy of your half. That could be a case of the tail chasing its own tail – I would not be interested in becoming your half-neighbor, hanging in the air as to when you might have the desire to get started. The typical semi-detached house plot seeker wants to get things done quickly, that is, plot–financing approval–groundbreaking preferably as a hat trick. They want to put a checkmark behind the dry towels, to be out of the rent before the daycare for child 2 and the school for child 1. This is no game for hesitators. You should also not force anyone to wait on each other in your own interest!

That calls for more than one digestif... Should our plans materialize, I will certainly take a look at it.



He hasn’t withdrawn. The "offer" still stands. However, for various reasons, we do not want to build with the BT. Such structures already exist on the street, so we know it is possible.



Also here: if our considerations solidify, we will probably have to do that.



Of course, I wouldn’t want to wait either. Don’t get me wrong. That’s why I’m asking. If the groundbreaking would have to happen together, such a project would be off for us.
