Are you planning to buy or sell a property in a condominium? The condominium register is an essential tool to secure your real estate project. This guide is intended for buyers and selling owners to understand this system: its definition, legal obligations, and how to consult it. If you have any questions about a buying or selling project, contact your local Capifrance advisor.
What is the national condominium register introduced by the alur law?
The national registration register was created by the Alur law of March 24, 2014 to list all residential condominiums in France. Managed by the National Housing Agency (ANAH), this register is accessible online via the portal registre-coproprietes.gouv.fr. Its objective is to improve knowledge of the condominium stock in order to better identify weaknesses and prevent situations of deterioration.

Why is registration with anah mandatory for each property manager?
Registration in the national condominium register is a legal obligation for all condominiums in France, including small condominiums with fewer than 10 units. It is the legal representative, whether a professional property manager or a volunteer manager, who carries out this process on behalf of the association of co-owners.
The property manager must also carry out an annual update within two months after the general meeting during which the accounts have been approved. In the absence of registration, the National Housing Agency (ANAH) may formally notify the property manager and, in the event of non-compliance, request that the court appoint a representative to carry out the process.

How to consult the directory and the summary sheet of a condominium?
The condominium directory is accessible online on the portal registre-coproprietes.gouv.fr. You can consult public information such as the number of units, the nature of the units, the type of heating or the energy rating of the condominium. The summary sheet includes essential financial data: charges for current operations, reserve funds and accounting period.
Notaries have full access to the register to secure sales deeds, which reassures buyers. As a co-owner or future buyer, you can obtain an extract from the register by providing the registration number and the cadastral references of the property.
