If you need to prove that an apartment or other space is self-contained, you will need a certificate of self-containedness.

If you want to divide a property into individual, legally separate rooms (e.g. residential units), you need a so-called certificate of completion. You must apply for the certificate of completion from the responsible authority.

With the certificate of completeness, the responsible authority certifies that a room is structurally sufficiently separated from other rooms. The certificate is required, for example, in order to divide an apartment building into several condominiums and then sell it. The certificate of completeness is also necessary for the entry of the ownership shares in the land register.

A self-contained space may include additional lockable rooms outside the respective enclosure (for example, storage rooms in the basement, parking spaces and parts of the property outside the building such as terraces and garden areas).

• Distribution plans (2x)
• If applicable: existing notifications or notices

The documents must correspond to the approved building plans of the last building permit.

• You must prove that you are either the owner of the premises or have a building lease. Alternatively, you must provide evidence of your legitimate interest (e.g. purchase).
• You must prove that the premises are self-contained. This is the case if
  • the premises are structurally separated from other rooms, for example by walls and ceilings, and
  • they have their own lockable access directly from the outside, from a staircase or an anteroom
• Parking spaces and parts of the property outside the building (terraces and garden areas) must be clearly identified by dimensions in the construction drawing or in the division plan.
