Teresa Reinhardt Jul 17, 2006:
I would not necessarily expect that there is an equivalent since this is a German law; you may have to explain it (certification that the condos/flats are self-contained units, or sth. to that effect

Certificate required before an apartment can be sold as a condominium (Eigentumswohnung) under German law. (the explanation we used for the IZ real estate dictionary)
You could translate it as "certificate of self-containment" but that doesn't help the reader much.
