        (c)  Substantial completion prerequisite to conveyance.--A
     unit which is part of or constitutes a structure shall not be

     declarant rights unless all structural components and common
     element mechanical systems of the structure containing or
     constituting such unit or units are substantially completed to
     the extent required of the declarant so as to permit the use of
     such unit or units and any limited common elements appurtenant
     thereto for their intended use. Such substantial completion
     shall be evidenced by a recorded certification of completion
     executed by an independent registered surveyor, architect or
     professional engineer with regard to any such structure.
        (d)  Substantial completion of unit.--No interest in a unit
     shall be conveyed to a person other than a successor to any

     declaration; all planned communities) and in the public offering
     statement under section 5402(a) (relating to public offering

     subpart shall prevent the offering for sale of a unit or
     interest in a unit or the execution of any agreement to sell and
     purchase a unit or any interest in a unit (as opposed to actual
     conveyance) prior to the completion of the unit or any other
     portion of the planned community.
