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.
