Final reception of common areas in co-ownership
The final reception of common areas in a new building follows a specific regime. It involves the managing agent, the co-ownership association and often a collectively mandated expert.
1. Who signs?
The managing agent on behalf of the co-ownership association, following a general assembly decision. Individual co-owners do not sign for the common areas.
2. Scope
Lobby, lifts, common roof, façades, car park, shared garden. Strictly distinct from the private areas, which are handled separately.
3. Collective expert
Strongly recommended: a single expert mandated by the co-ownership association audits the whole and issues a report enforceable against the developer. Cost shared among co-owners.
Common questions
Who decides on signing?
The co-owners' general assembly decides; the managing agent executes.
Is a collective expert necessary?
Strongly advised: a single expert spreads the cost across all co-owners.
