Residential property is the ownership of an apartment in conjunction with the co-ownership share of the common property.

Condominium ownership is the ownership (special property; also called spatial ownership) of an apartment in connection with the co-ownership share of the common property (land and the building, insofar as they are not in the special property or in the property of a third party).

If you want to establish residential property, it is necessary to enter it in the land register. For this purpose, housing land registers are created. Before this can be done, however, you must first create the conditions for condominium ownership. This can be done in two ways:

• If you are a co-owner of a property, a notarized partition agreement of all co-owners in accordance with § 3 WEG is required for this. In doing so, you agree with all co-owners and grant each other condominium ownership by dividing. Each of you then receives the ownership (special property; also called room ownership) of a certain apartment in a building already built or to be built on the property.
• You can make a division according to § 8 WEG by means of a notarized declaration if you are the sole owner of a property. With the declaration you make to the land registry office, you divide the ownership of the property (so-called declaration of division). You associate each share with the ownership (special property; also called room ownership) of an already existing or future apartment. In addition, you assign each share a fraction of the co-ownership share of the property.
• The entry in the land register is carried out by creating the housing land registers by the responsible land registry office. This means that a separate, special land register sheet is created for each apartment. As a result, a condominium can be sold like any other property, encumbered with liens or other rights or inherited. The previous land register sheet for the property will be closed.

• written application for registration
• Registration permit
• Distribution plan (construction drawing signed and sealed or stamped by the building authority, showing the division of the building as well as the location and size of the parts of the building owned by the special property and the parts of the building in the community)
• Certificate of completion (certificate from the competent building authority that the rooms on which special ownership is to be established are self-contained)
• possibly the clearance certificate from the tax office (you can get more information about this from the notary working in your case or .dem notary working in your case)
• notarized declaration of division or notarized contract for the agreement of all co-owners

For the establishment of residential property, an application for registration must be made by you or the notary notary. The creation of the land registers takes place when all necessary documents have been submitted in due form and there are no grounds for refusal.
