Before buying an apartment, it is recommended to check the real estate itself so that the transaction is legal. This will require the following recommendations.
Check documents
Checking the objects of the secondary market should be started with the right-ending documents, that is, as a result of which the seller became the owner.
- The most common is the purchase and sale and donation; A little less often is a court decision that entered into force, the right to inheritance, as well as the rental contract. There should be no obstacles and corrections on these documents if the latter are present, their certificate must be confirmed by the signatures of the two Parties participating in the contract. All corrections must be certified by the notary signature.
- You also need to check the conditions of entry into property rights, because in the case of their non-compliance, the transaction can be terminated. For example, if the owner of the apartment, which he now sells, must pay money for real estate through time after the transaction. And if he does not pay them, then the contract is terminated.
- And most importantly, it is necessary to understand that when the apartment is given or entry into the inheritance, the new owner starts to sell it urgently, then it is worth thinking.
Check history
The next step is to study the discharge from a single state register of rights and real estate transactions. This document shows the entire history, namely the change of owners, the presence of arrest and ban on the transaction. When identifying a frequent sale of the apartment and in case of no accommodation in it, long time should be alerted about the purity of the object. Perhaps someone wants to sell not quite clean apartment. Even in this document, you can reveal the fact of various disputes or the imposition of arrests, if they were, then you need to pay attention to the date of their occurrence.
- If 3 years have passed since any situation, you can safely buy an apartment. If still the fact of the dispute is discovered during this period, the court decision will be required with the conclusions of legal ownership. In the absence of a decision, it is recommended to wait for it.
- Often the apartment is not listed in the registry (objects of the old residential foundation). In the case of its absence, it means that there were no transactions in the apartment. This is the perfect case and the apartment is clean.
Check the quality of the object
Next, you need to explore the documents of BTI. This will allow you to check the coherence of redevelopment if it is as available. All changes are necessary to agree on legally with the relevant authorities. With arbitrary redevelopment, this may threaten an administrative offense. If the object is converted, then it is considered illegal without permission.
Check the seller
The owner of the apartment also needs to be checked, namely the authenticity of the passport. This will help the portal of the federal migration service of Russia. This information is considered reference. Information of the Legal value can be obtained when contacting the FMS Department.
- If the transaction is carried out by proxy, the latter should be certified by a notary.
- You also need to find out so that no one withdraws.
- It is important to find out the list of actions that are permitted by a trusted person: the right to sign the contract, receiving payment, etc. The participation of a trustee is a risk in any case.
- It is very important to check the responsibility of the seller, namely mental state, whether it is either under drugs. To do this, you need to receive certificates in narcological and psychoneurological dispensaries.
Check third parties
And the last step is to extract from the house book. With it, you can learn about registered people at this address and what rights they have after the sale of the apartment.
- The most serious risk is challenging rights by third parties. This may happen because of a missing absent person (sits in prison, in a long business trip), which may appear through years.
- Also danger is to buy an object with prescribed minor children. In this case, there must be permission of the guardianship.
- In addition, you need to take into account the rights of spouses to the apartment, which is purchased in marriage. In this case, the contract must include the consent of the second spouse.
The concept of the transaction includes a lot of details: the content of the contract itself, the transfer of money, correctly composed of receipts, the transmission of the object. The real estate purchase process should be based on the documentary confirmation of each word, which is certified by the notary. For this reason, it is better to trust an experienced lawyer who knows a sense in the field of residential real estate.
