What to consider when buying land?

The appraisal costs +/- 1000 euros. The position of the house on the plot is required.

Most of it has already been said. One criterion for us was also the noise level. It is helpful to walk around the property at different times of the day and on different days. For example, we rejected a property after our third visit when we realized that you can hear the highway from 3 km away at the right wind direction, as if you were standing right next to it.

A soil survey should always be conducted before purchase. If a high proportion of topsoil or non-load-bearing soil has to be replaced, the earthworks can quickly reach five-digit costs. The plot can be perfectly level for that. Much more important is how much soil needs to be replaced...
