So, is that gridded space on your lot? Or is it that some of your lot is not gridded?
If you can't tell you can count the squares with flooring (You know the trick right? you click hold and drag and look at the numbers that appear.)

How did you make the basement in the first place? Please take above ground photos here and at the old house, and below ground photo there to if you can.
(sorry didn't read thoroughly enough.)

Like Swirl-girl asked, if you can post a picture taken from ground level that would help a great deal. 

Right now, it looks like you've got a hot tub where the smaller green square is, which would be why you can't build a basement there.  Also, you do have a basement in the larger green square - it appears to be a room on basement level 2.  Are you trying to use the basement tool at this level (that is, the same view you took this picture)?  The basement tool creates rooms under the active level, not on it.  You'd have to be one level up, at the grass/ground level, and then you should be able to draw your basement rooms using the tool.

Personally I've never seen anything other than ungridded black space around a basement room in my games, so it looks perfectly normal to me.

You can put floor tiles in the tile-less basements, I think. I've done that before. Or you could delete-undo it.

And to Vinyl: often times there will be grid around your basement if you are putting more in, or have fountains, or extensive landscaping.
Okay, so I think that the gridded space was not given on the first floor of basement. but it was given on all of the other floors.
The game is probably confused about the size of the lot on that floor, for now I think you'll have to make do with 40x40 on that floor until we get professional attention.
