Condominium ownership is the ownership of an apartment in connection with the co-ownership share in the common property.

Residential property is the property (special property; also called spatial property) in an apartment in connection with the co-ownership of the common property (property as well as the building, insofar as they are not owned by a third party).

If you want to establish residential property, you need to be entered 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 home ownership. This can be done in two ways:

• If you are a co-owner of a property, a notarised division contract of all co-owners in accordance with Section 3 WEG is required for this purpose. In doing so, you agree with all co-owners and grant each other home ownership by dividing up. Each of you then receives the property (special property; also called spatial property) in a particular apartment in a building already built or still to be built on the property.
• You can make a division according to Section 8 WEG by means of a notarised declaration if you are the sole owner of a property. With the declaration you make to the Land Registry, you divide the property (so-called division declaration). You combine each share with the property (special property; also called spatial property) in an existing or future apartment. You also assign to each share a co-ownership share of the property as a fraction.
• The registration in the land register is carried out by the creation of the housing land registers by the competent land registry office. This means that a special land register is created for each apartment. As a result, a condominium can be sold like any other property, charged with liens or other rights or inherited. The previous land register for the property will be closed.

• written application for registration
• Registration permit
• Distribution plan (building drawing signed and stamped by the building authority, showing the division of the building and the location and size of the parts of the building in the special property and the parts of the building owned jointly and in the Community)
• Certificate of completion (certificate from the competent building authority that the premises in which special property is to be established are self-contained)
• the certificate of safety of the tax office (for more information, please contact the notary working in your case or .dem notary working in your case)
• notarised declaration of division or notarised contract for the agreement of all co-owners

In order to establish home ownership, an application for registration by you or the notary or the notary who certifys must be made. The creation of the housing land registers takes place when all the necessary documents have been submitted in accordance with the form and there are no obstacles to registration.
