Do you need a dated statement to sell a condominium unit?
Verified 25 June 2025 - Directorate for Legal and Administrative Information (Prime Minister)
Yes, if you wish to sell your condominium unit, you must provide the purchaser with a dated statement. This document specifies the financial situation of the condominium lot. It shows the amounts you owe to the co-owners' union and vice versa the amounts that the latter may owe you. In addition, it allows the purchaser to assess condominium expenses related to his future housing and to anticipate calls for funds from the condominium syndicate. We're doing an update on the regulations.
Only the trustee can establish the dated status. He sends it to the notary.
The dated status must be requested from trustee by the notary responsible for drafting thebill of sale or by the seller.
The dated report consists of 3 parts:
1Amounts owed by the seller to the co-owners' union
- Provisions due from provisional budget
- Provisions due for expenditure not included in the estimated budget (e.g. for non-maintenance work)
- Amount of unpaid charges on past financial years
- Amount of a collective loan signed on behalf of the co-ownership and any remaining due by the seller
- Amounts of payment of works per annuity obtained by the seller to finance his share of improvement works which he had opposed: the sums are immediately due when the lot is sold
- Cash advances due.
The notary or seller informs the registered creditors of these sums.
2Amounts owed by the syndicate of co-owners to the seller
- Cash advances or borrowing from the syndicate of co-owners to the selling co-owner
- Accruals for Periods after the current period and made due as a result of a formal notice for unpaid provisions of the provisional budget.
3Amounts payable by the purchaser
- Reconstitution of advances payable in cash or a borrowing of the trade union
- Provisions not yet due from provisional budget
- Provisions not yet due in expenditure not included in the provisional budget.
In the annex, the liquidator shall indicate:
- Sum of co-ownership charges and non-batch maintenance work for the last 2 financial years
- Subject matter and status of any legal proceedings pending in the condominium (unpaid charges for example).
Please note
All this information is given by way of indication pending the finalization of the accounts of the co-ownership.
The cost of the dated report is limited to €380 TTC: titleContent at the most.
It must be provided for in the trustee's contract under the heading "Costs and fees attributable solely to co-owners" and approved by thegeneral meeting of co-owners.
The trustee must bill the vendor for the dated statement.
You can dispute the cost of the dated report when it exceeds €380 and in the case of the sale of several condominium lots at the same time.
