Co-ownership

How to buy a communal area

Do you want to buy your landing to extend your flat, part of the attic space in your building or a communal courtyard? You need to put your purchase proposal on the agenda for the next general meeting of co-owners. You'll need to provide the syndic with a complete file containing all the documents explaining your project (plans, diagrams, number of m² in question, etc.). As the purchase involves the creation of a new co-ownership lot, the charges will have to be redistributed. A property professional will be able to help you determine the purchase price of the common area. A majority of the members of the syndicate representing at least two-thirds of the co-owners' votes will vote in favour of the project, although unanimity is sometimes required.
