The plot was filled, what should be considered?

Hello,

I am currently venturing into my first home purchase, which begins with the purchase of a plot of land in a newly developed residential area of my municipality. I am satisfied with the location so far and basically only need to sign the contract, but I came across the following clause:

"The buyer is aware that the contract object is partially filled with soil material. A terrain cross-section is attached to this deed as an appendix in this regard. However, the seller assures and guarantees that the filling is free of contamination. No further regulations will be made in this regard."

Naively asked: Does this have any disadvantages for me in the later construction of the house?

Thank you.

It depends ... If you want to build with a basement, probably not. If your house construction tends towards a slab foundation, the ground will probably need to be compacted before it can be built on. Depending on the fill material, soil replacement may also be possible; however, this will only be determined precisely by the soil survey. Rhine regards

And even with a basement, the ground must either be naturally founded or newly compacted - depending on how much has been filled in.

Where do you want to know that from? Anything is possible, no details from the OP...

Dilapidated house with basement and you have the mess...

We have also raised the ground by 1.7 meters and are building without a basement. Of course, the soil must be compacted, but that does not affect how suitable it is for building, does it? The foundations support the slab, right? For us, deeper foundations are simply dug. However, a demolished house with a basement in a newly developed building area is unlikely.

No, of course you can rely on that, but it just costs a bit more than natural ground.

The thing with the demolition house was just an example - there might still have been an old cottage standing there and then a whole agricultural area was turned into building land... there are quite a few tricks involved.
