Property owners have to follow certain steps when transitioning from condominium easement to condominium ownership. Although there is no time limit in this process, the application must be made by a right holder or owner. In this article, the process of transition from condominium easement to condominium ownership, the necessary applications and the advantages offered by the zoning amnesty will be discussed.
What is the Transition from Condominium Easement to Condominium Ownership?
A condominium easement indicates that a building, in its unfinished state, is divided into independent sections and a right ownership is established for these sections in the land registry. Condominium ownership, on the other hand, means that when the building is completed and usable, ownership rights are recognized for these sections. The first step in this transition is to submit an application to the municipality by a right holder or owner.
Application Process and Requirements
Once the application is submitted to the municipality, it is reviewed for eligibility. Once approval is received from the municipality, other right holders and owners can also benefit from this advantage. Transition to condominium ownership provides many advantages to property owners, but there are some important points to be considered in this process.
- Zoning Status and Building License:
During the application process, it is necessary to examine the zoning status of the building and obtain a building license if it does not exist. In buildings with appropriate zoning status, this process progresses faster. - Municipality Approval:
The application to the municipality is examined in terms of the technical suitability of the building. In this process, the contribution of experienced architects and engineers is of great importance. After approval, the transition to condominium ownership can be officially completed.
Zoning Amnesty and Condominium
Especially in some cases, buildings that have not been condominiumized and have not been licensed for years may be considered within the scope of zoning amnesty. Zoning amnesty gives such structures an official status and provides property owners with the opportunity to obtain a certificate of occupancy and a building license to establish condominium ownership.
Advantages of Zoning Amnesty:
- Formalization It increases the value of real estate by giving official status to buildings.
- Accelerated Process: With the zoning amnesty, building owners can switch to condominium ownership more quickly.
Conclusion: The transition from condominium easement to condominium ownership offers significant advantages to real estate owners. In order to start this process, critical steps such as the application to the municipality, obtaining the necessary documents and zoning status should be considered. Zoning amnesty accelerates this process, especially for buildings that have not been formalized for a long time, and gives real estate owners the opportunity to provide condominium ownership.
