Repair fund and works
The repair fund is the association's savings for the roof, pipes, façade and so on. When it grows, more is saved than spent; when it shrinks, the money has gone into repairs.
Loans
An association loan is shared by all owners: when a flat is sold, its share stays with the building, not the seller. That is why a buyer should know the balance and the end date.
The association had no loan at the end of 2025.

- Repair fund balance (€ at year end)
- Money saved for future repairs and not yet spent, at the end of the financial year.
- Repair fund balance (€ per m² of flats)
