From large apartment buildings in big cities to terraced houses in rural areas, the Austrian Condominium Act (WEG) provides the legal framework for joint management and decision-making. This often poses complex legal problems for the individual condominium owner, the entire community of owners or the administrator. GIBEL ZIRM attorneys at law offer sound professional advice in the field of condominium ownership law in order to avoid disputes and solve difficult legal issues relating to the WEG for you.
Support from the First Step: Establishment of Condominium Ownership
The starting point of every owners’ association is the establishment of condominium ownership. In new development projects, this usually takes place once the residential building has been completed. In apartment buildings or multi-unit houses within existing properties, condominium ownership is often created only through parification, frequently in preparation for the sale of individual apartments. In any case, the first step in establishing condominium ownership is the condominium agreement, which is based on a utility value appraisal. It lays the groundwork for orderly coexistence among the future co-owners. In this process, you benefit from our many years of experience in implementing condominium ownership structures, ensuring that legal hurdles are addressed successfully from the outset.
