A condominium is a form of shared ownership in which several people have ownership rights to a dwelling unit or common space.
The term is commonly used to describe apartment buildings or residential complexes in which multiple units are under shared ownership. Individual unit owners share ownership and responsibility for common areas, such as swimming pools, recreation areas and walkways.
While condominiums can be an attractive form of ownership, they also have complexities that must be prevented and addressed.
Owners must pay a monthly maintenance fee to cover the costs of maintenance and repair of the common areas, which can increase the total cost of the property.
In addition, owners may have less privacy than in a single-family home, as they share common areas with other residents.
In our team you will find highly trained professionals with extensive experience in handling legal and administrative issues related to condominium properties.

Are you looking for an efficient and reliable service to incorporate your condominium in subsidiary farms in the Maritime Terrestrial Zone?
At Arista, you will find a group of highly trained specialists in condominium management that will allow you to complete your project with the highest standards of productivity.
A condominium in the maritime-terrestrial zone refers to a shared property located in the strip of land contiguous to the sea, known as the maritime-terrestrial zone. This area is regulated by special laws and regulations, and is generally considered state property, although some parts of it may be concessioned for private use.
In the case of a condominium in the land marine zone, the owners share ownership and responsibility for a dwelling unit in this zone. This shared ownership may include a house, apartment, villa or any other construction that is permitted in the inland maritime zone, and the owners share the ownership and maintenance costs of the common areas, such as gardens, swimming pools and recreational areas. However, it is important to note that access to the maritime land zone may be restricted or regulated in a very specific way, so it is important that developers, buyers, owners and/or lessees of a condominium in this zone, get informed and have a correct advice about the regulations that apply in their specific location.
Due to the coastal location, owners may be exposed to natural hazards such as flooding, storms and coastal erosion, so it is important that the condominium has adequate safety and security measures in place.
The purchase of condominium property refers to the acquisition of a dwelling unit within a building or complex of buildings that is owned jointly by all the owners of the individual units. In a condominium, each owner has the right to use and enjoy his own unit, as well as the common areas of the building or complex, such as the recreational areas, the swimming pool, the gymnasium, among others.
Condominium ownership also implies that the owners share responsibility for the maintenance and management of the building or complex, and must pay a monthly or annual fee to the condominium owners' association to cover common expenses, such as maintenance of common areas and building security.
Buying a condominium property can be a good option for those who wish to own a property, but prefer not to deal with the responsibilities and costs of maintaining a single-family home. In addition, living in a condominium can offer a tighter community and greater security than living in a detached home.
