Do you want to divide a property into condominiums or create a shared ownership?
Do you intend to convert shared ownership into residential ownership*?
Or do you want to change the declaration of division, including the separate ownership?
In that case, you will need a certificate of separate ownership in accordance with the German Condominium Act (WEG).
We will support you from the initial inventory to the application to the building authority – quickly, accurately, and reliably.
Because real estate is also about sharing ownership
A certificate of separation is essential for the division of a property in the land register. The certificate of separation confirms that each unit in a building is structurally separated from other units – for example, by walls, ceilings, and locked entrances, which ensure exclusive use by the respective owner. Assigned rooms such as basements, attics, or parking spaces can also be part of the separate property, provided they are appropriately demarcated. Residential property or partial ownership is therefore considered separate if it is structurally clearly separated from other units.
The self-contained nature of a separate unit is also a legal prerequisite for the establishment of independent condominium ownership. The requirements regarding self-containedness are set forth, in particular, in Section 3(3) of the Condominium Act (WEG). Pursuant to Section 7(4) of the Condominium Act (WEG), registration in the land registry requires, among other things, a certificate from the competent building authority confirming that the requirements of Section 3(3) of the Condominium Act (WEG) have been met.
The local building authority is responsible for issuing a certificate of separation upon request. This request must be accompanied by plans, floor plans on a scale of 1:100, and a suitable representation of the special and common property.
The certificate of separation thus certifies that each unit can be used independently and can be legally registered in the land register as residential property or partial ownership. At the same time, it forms the basis of the deed of division, which is drawn up by a notary.
ESTATE ENGINEERS supports you in dividing your property and is happy to take care of preparing the complete application documents for the certificate of separation.
* In the event of a change of use, you may need to apply for an exemption from approval (§ 62 SächsBO) or even for a building permit (§§ 63 or 64 SächsBO). ESTATE ENGINEERS will be happy to assist you with this as well.
