You can apply for the registration of ownership with a statement from the housing company's board if the company has never printed share certificates or issued temporary certificates.. You can only request a statement from the board if you want to register the ownership of your flat and you are the owner listed in the list of shares. You can use the board’s statement when the flat’s ownership has not been registered electronically. The board’s statement cannot be transferred in the same way as a share certificate.
The board’s statement must be in writing and dated and signed by the members of the housing company’s board of directors, and it must indicate that no share certificates have been printed for the apartment and no temporary certificates have been issued. In addition, the statement must indicate the owner as recorded in the list of shares. The statement is only valid when signed by the number of housing company’s board members required to reach a quorum (more than half of the members). Electronic signatures are accepted for the board’s statement. The property manager cannot provide the report.
Please note: In a housing company established on or after 1 January 1992, the registration of ownership cannot be made with a statement from the board. In such cases, the board of the housing company can issue a temporary share certificate to the owner of the apartment for the purpose of registering ownership.
