DOUBLE DEVELOPMENT A FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTION: Stephan, Let me explain what we are thinking of doing and you can tell me if it’s possible.
1. We would like to purchase a 4000m to 5000m plot
of land initially.
Hello Mike, Let me try to clarify your details, and to answer your questions. 1. Buying
a lot of land, 4.000m2 plus, okay. Full planning is granted as
long you received final approval from the forest department. You
may build 200m2 net living space on 2 floors, please keep this
in mind. Only by
building traditionally in stone (walls 0.5m thick) you are allowed
to 200m2 net living space, but only on 200m2 SURFACE OF YOUR LAND.
Here the walls do count. If you want to use up all the 200m2 net
living space - you 2. A 3 bedroom
villa - just a very rough estimate - let's think of 1 big living
in kitchen (30m2), 1 toilette /hand-wash 3. 3 more
two bedroom villas - We would be only allowed to build another
100m2 of net living space - We end up to need about 56m2 for the small villa - okay, we might get it down to 50m2, though building becomes more expensive per m2 if you build small houses. The absolute
MAXIMUM we could get on your site is 1x 100m2 house and 2x 50m2
house. In order
to sell later..... - If you
built free standing units, lets say 4 (a 50m2), for example, on
a 4.000m2 lot - and you wanted to sell them to different owners
..... you could not get deeds for each certain unit. You would
always have to sell 25% of ALL BUILDINGS and 25% of ALL THE LOT.
So if ONE owner made an illegal addition, for example, all the
3 other Or - if you do not want the buildings to touch - they must SHARE one terrace or one yard, clearly defined. But then this yard/terrace counts fully with the 200m2 building space - so if it was 14m2 big you could only build 186m2...... Why all
this - it's as if you sold a flat in an apartment building: the
units share attached walls - you share a staircase/hall (yard/terrace),
cellar rooms, garages - later you will own 100% of your flat and
as many % of all the property as your Your business model doesn't work. 1st - you
are not allowed to build that many m2 on a 4.000m2 lot as you wish
to - not 1 x a 3-room villa and 3 x a 2-room villas (absolute minimum
for this were 250m2.... advisable were something like 350m2 2nd - you
can't sell free standing properties separately if they are on the
same building lot. You are not allowed (no way!) to divide these
4.000m2 lots in smaller units. Of course
- all the villas we would build on the lots on Hill above Stoupa
would have nice sea views, towards the south AND towards the west! My proposal
- either your plans become smaller - or you purchase 2 lots, bordering
each other (I know exactly which ones - the highest ones). Bye
for Now
AN EXAMPLE A Double Development, suitable for any building lot of a certain size with an allowance to build 200m2 of net space in stone; preferable on a slight slope: Two buildings from stone, slim and long, stretched into the view: EVERY ROOM will have a maximum exposition towards the view: the sea: the west - in the case of our Proastion property! Both houses could have some basement with a garage and a store room for house-technique. Each building has a NET living space of 94m2. Both buildings are connected through a roofed arcade. As the developments are planned for a slight slope
(15%) GROUND FLOOR:
Most of what normally would be windows is replaced
by French doors: Each opening is a PICTURE! The ground floor consists of 2 sleeping rooms, a spacious living in kitchen, a bathroom and a stair case - towards the west a wonderful terrace in front of the 5 French doors, all opening towards the sea! In the east we have the main entrance, the kitchen
and bathroom - an on the outside wall an impressive staircase from
stone leading up to the spacious ROOF TERRACE. 1ST FLOOR:
Consisting of a master bedroom and master bathroom
- and of a 40m2 roof terrace, rounded by a wall from stone, accessible
either by the outside stair case or through the master bedroom. DETAILS AND MAIN FEATURES OF THE DRAWINGS COULD BE ALTERED.
1. Designing the house - 2. All IKA (Nat. Insurance payments - very important) 3. DEH (electricity connection and meter) - 4. Water connection and meter and reserve water tank - 5. Oil-fired central heating incl boiler etc - 6. Solar Panels 7. Double-glazed, aluminium doors and windows - 8. Gate - 9. Bathrooms with marble or fine Italian tiles and Ideal Standard, Duravit or Grohe fittings - 10. Flooring material, either tiles or pinewood. See Examples of Our Work to appreciate the high standards of materials and fixtures. Costs do not include the legal costs of purchasing a property (purchase tax, notary and lawyer) or items such as kitchen furniture, cupboards etc - as explained in Prices and Costing
