Applying for a certificate of completion to subdivide a building
The certificate of separate ownership is one of the prerequisites for being able to divide a property and the building on it into condominiums.
With the certificate of separate ownership, the competent authority certifies which rooms of a flat, separate cellars or garages form self-contained units of the residential building and are therefore eligible for separate ownership.
You need a certificate of separate ownership if you intend to
- to sell one or more flats in your apartment block individually or
- transfer a flat in your apartment block to your child.
