Dear customers,

A crazy year full of new and unexpected challenges lies behind us. Many things in the workflow, in the structures and above all in the cooperation had to change from one moment to the next. We have tried to find good answers to these and to go new ways.

Now we are taking the Christmas break to review the year behind us and to make plans for the new year.

The entire team wishes you and your loved ones a Merry Christmas and all the best for the New Year. We wish you and all of us a healthy new year 2021. We look forward to being at your side again, strengthened, from 04.01.2021.

The German Condominium Modernisation Act (WEMoG) came into force on 01.12.2020. This law will bring about fundamental changes to the WEG. This is a brief overview, which does not claim to be exhaustive:

• In future, there will always be a quorum for the owners' meeting, even if only one condominium owner is present or represented
• in special cases, circular resolutions may also be adopted by simple majority
• For powers of attorney for the owners' meeting, the text form instead of the written form will be sufficient in future
• in future, there is a right to have structural changes carried out, provided that these changes serve the purpose of accessibility, the loading of e-movables, protection against burglary and the expansion of fibre optic networks - in this case, the owners must tolerate the measure and can only have a say in its design
• Participation in an owners' meeting can now also take place digitally, provided that the owners' association has previously decided to do so

Dear Customers,

Also this year we close our office traditionally over the Christmas holidays until New Year's Eve. This year our office will be closed from 23.12.2020- 03.01.2021. From 04.01.2021 we will be at your disposal again during our usual office hours. Thank you for your understanding.

The Bundestag has decided that from probably December 2020 it will no longer be possible for the brokerage fee to be charged to the buyer alone if the seller has commissioned the broker. If the broker acts for both the buyer and the seller on the basis of two brokerage agreements, he can in future demand a fee from both parties in the same amount. This applies to the sale of single-family houses and condominiums. Furthermore, the brokerage agreement must be in text form. A verbal agreement or a handshake is no longer sufficient.

The Condominium Act is to be amended. To this end, the Federal Ministry of Justice and Consumer Protection wanted to present a draft law by the end of 2019. On 13.01.2020 the draft bill was published and sent to numerous associations for comments. The draft law contains the following essential changes:

• Renovation and modernisation are to be simplified
• The Community is to become the managing body
• More powers should be given to administrators
• Owners' meetings and resolutions should be simplified
• some more

The real estate associations now have time to comment on the draft law.
