The establishment or amendment of condominium ownership is a key legal instrument in multi-unit buildings, regardless of whether the property is a classic apartment building or a mixed-use development. It creates the basis for clear ownership structures and a functioning ownership framework. Typical situations include the initial establishment of condominium ownership, the subdivision or merger of units, or the incorporation of previously common areas such as attic spaces or storage rooms.
Services and Offer on Residential Property Law
A well-thought-out and legally compliant condominium and homeowners' association governing document is more than just a formal document: it gives structure to the community of owners, secures the administration, and reduces future conflicts. GIBEL ZIRM supports you from the initial legal assessment through to entry in the land register – reliably, efficiently, and with an eye on what is feasible.
Parification and Utility Value Appraisals
At the heart of every establishment of condominium ownership lies the utility value appraisal. Authorized civil engineers objectively assess the individual units in a building – such as apartments, commercial premises, parking spaces, or basement compartments – and determine their relative value. The corresponding co-ownership shares are then allocated on the basis of legally defined criteria.
This data is then translated into a legal framework. The aim is an agreement that not only reflects the actual circumstances of the property, but also satisfies the requirements of the land register.
A revised utility value appraisal and an amended condominium agreement may also be required where subsequent changes occur, such as extensions or structural alterations. Our law firm coordinates these steps professionally, with legal certainty and with due regard to the interests of all parties involved.
The Condominium Agreement: A Legal Framework for Cooperation
The condominium agreement does not merely determine which unit belongs to whom. It also regulates important aspects of ongoing management, including the allocation of costs, the use of common areas, and the extent to which structural alterations by individual owners are permitted.
Because each property has its own specific characteristics, every agreement must be individually drafted. One of the main challenges often lies in reaching agreement on a common text among numerous co-owners. This is where our experience makes the difference: we guide you through the process, explain the legal framework, mediate where necessary, and develop workable solutions.
