Condominium ownership - Renovation fund and value of a share

The creation of a renovation fund is not required by law. However, if the regulations provide for the establishment of a renovation fund, this provision must be complied with. It is advisable to create the renovation fund already in the first year after completion of the property. The contributions paid in are earmarked and serve to maintain the value of the property. They are intended in particular for future renovation work, such as on the roof, building technology or on the building envelope.
