What matters in HafenCity
Sell land: preparation for the specific location and property.
Define the area physically and legally
Compare cadastral information, ownership evidence and existing site plans. Check whether access routes, equipment or outdoor areas serve other buildings. If selling part of a site, establish how the retained property would continue to function. Commission detailed subdivision design only once the intended scope and principal dependencies have become clear enough to assess.
Trace actual servicing
A central address says little about which connections and access rights belong to the particular plot. Identify known services, their routes and unresolved connection points. Buyers need to understand whether existing supplies can continue to be used or whether a separate technical investigation and associated cost assessment remain necessary for the intended transaction.
Record the site before designing
Describe existing structures, surfaced areas and visible equipment together with their documented condition. Keep proposed redevelopment separate. Before spending on design, identify missing information about current occupation, removal work or structural dependencies; these questions may influence the sale strategy more strongly than a persuasive architectural visualisation of a possible future scheme.
Turn planning into explicit questions
Separate evidenced planning status from the proposed project. Obtain suitable professional guidance on the address-specific checks before presenting an area or use as established. Alternatively, market the property in its existing condition, naming the unresolved matters that purchasers would need to investigate further when assessing their own development or occupation concept.
