Sonderumlage Referenced in the Statement
What does it mean?
The annual statement references a Sonderumlage (one-off special assessment on top of the regular Hausgeld). It funds a cost the reserve couldn't cover. Confirm whether it is already paid, still outstanding, and who is liable as of the sale date.
Is this a problem when buying?
Something to clarify before buying. Not an automatic deal-breaker, but worth checking.
What you should do as a buyer
Get the Sonderumlage resolution and amount, and clarify in the purchase contract whether the seller or you bear any instalments falling due after completion.
