Important Considerations regarding Condominium Ownership

First and foremost, it’s important to remember that condominium ownership differs from traditional property ownership in that it’s a form of “shared ownership.” When you buy a new unit, there are often different fees and unexpected closing costs involved. Also, there will be strict guidelines and rules that must be followed. Some condominiums may not allow pets while others may restrict the number of occupants permitted in their units. You might even encounter restrictions on common exclusive use elements such as:

  • Balconies
  • Parking spaces
  • Patios
  • Terraces

Furthermore, there may be restrictions placed on renovations or structural alterations to the units. Therefore, it’s extremely important that prospective condominium buyers consult with knowledgeable legal professionals such as the Makaronets Real Estate Law Firm. We specialize in Condominium Law. We review cases that are brought to our legal team and advise the client on by-laws and declarations as well as purchase and sale agreements so as to facilitate a hassle and stress-free real estate transaction.
