The tedious topic of searching for land...

Hello,

I have a somewhat unusual tip as well:

If you are interested in a property whose owner cannot be identified, you might consider visiting the local police station.

There, you tell the police officer contritely that you accidentally drove onto the property while turning around, caused minor damage to the grounds, and ask for information about the owner so you can settle the matter privately. ;)

Apparently, this works pretty well – but you shouldn't do this too often, or the police might start doubting your driving ability... :confused:

Regards,

Dirk

Cunning devil! :D

Notaries are also allowed to look into the land register, but a notary would of course never do something like that out of base motives... *cough*

Hello dear forum, we would like to breathe new life into this thread, as we have been intensively dealing with the topic of property search, initially privately and now also commercially. The trigger was the private desire to buy a building plot. However, the property search via agents and portals felt endless and led to considerable disillusionment. Just as described above, we eventually took the matter into our own hands, searched for undeveloped plots, approached municipalities and neighbors, and were finally successful. We have now had our plot notarized for almost 1 month. So: Don't give up, it will work out eventually :).

Strange, I thought you would use the company meingrundstück for that if you're already advertising it ;)

Hello WilderSueden, we found our property purely privately. Rightly, after a successful notarized signature, the idea arose to make our process accessible to others via [meingrundstück] and to further optimize it. However, this is definitely not necessary! With persistence and time, anyone can also search on their own.

I actually thought that a genuine purchase interest (if it can be made plausible) is quite sufficient for the land registry office. At least I think I have read something like that. I have no experience in this regard.
