Registration of a Condominium and Amendment of a Condominium Order

The legal significance of registering a condominium and amending an existing condominium order is substantial for all rights holders in a building. This process defines the legal relationships between the residents, regulates and limits the permitted uses of the common property, preserves both current and future building rights for each unit, and establishes a clear and stable proprietary framework for all apartments and assets within the building.
Ken-Tor & Akko Law Firm regards accurate registration and proper amendment of condominium orders as a central component in safeguarding its clients, rights, and acts with professionalism and determination to achieve long-term legal certainty and property stability.

In addition, we provide comprehensive legal solutions for foreign residents who own assets in multi-unit buildings, particularly when registration irregularities arise due to foreign ownership. We handle the necessary legal procedures to secure their rights and establish clarity in the Land Registry.

The Role of Condominium Registration

Registering a condominium order is a central and essential stage in the legal regulation of property rights in residential buildings. When a building contains several apartments or units, it is not possible to register individual ownership of each buyer unless the building is first registered as a condominium in the Condominium Register maintained by the Land Registry Office (the Tabu).
This registration grants statutory validity to the structure and to the ownership of each registered unit. A condominium order clearly distinguishes between common property and the private property of each unit, whether residential, commercial, or otherwise.

We place special emphasis on advance planning of the division between common and private property, ensuring that the rights of purchasers and owners are explicitly and accurately protected.

Amending a Condominium Order

Amending an existing condominium order is a crucial legal step in buildings that were already registered but have undergone substantial changes over the years. These may include building additions, apartment subdivisions, structural modifications, or changes in the composition of ownership.
In such cases, the amendment reflects the updated physical condition of the building, as approved by planning authorities, and aligns the registered legal status of each unit with its current state in the Condominium Register (the Tabu).

The Real Estate Department at Ken-Tor & Akko provides full legal support throughout the amendment process. Our services include:
