After the latest change in the horizontal property law in 2012, the new owner of an apartment has to pay any due community fees for the current year + 3 years back.
However, how does that work if the apartment is sold on an auction? Is the community debt a sort of first priority that the new owner has to pay regardless of that the price did not cover all mortgages? Or is it placed after the mortgages, so that the community might loose these 3+current years?
I assume the community would always have to get any due amounts registered at the land registry / notarys office? So they would appear on the nota simple and this way warn the potential buyer?
Thanks.
