Not every basement is automatically common property. Special legislation also recognises individual ancillary premises; common-property rules concern spaces not individually owned. Examine the specific room’s history and registration.
Practical example
One neighbour uses a basement under an old document, while another occupies a common equipment room. Their legal status may differ.
What to do
Request the extract, building plan, historical records and association decisions. Keys alone do not prove ownership without a legal basis. Assess access to common services separately.
