Registration of ownership in a new building is carried out in several ways: independently by the shareholder himself, through the developer, with the help of involved legal companies and through the court. Each design option has its own characteristics, involves the preparation of documents and affects the procedure for registering property rights. The absence of a legalized title is fraught for the shareholder with the loss of housing and other possible restrictions.

When purchasing an apartment in a new building, the buyer does not automatically become its owner. He has the right to live in it, but cannot dispose of it. This authority appears only after the ownership of the residential premises is officially registered by the relevant authorities.

The buyer has several options to register ownership of an apartment in a new building:

• on one's own;
• through the developer;
• with the help of an engaged realtor;
• through the court.

Self-registration

If a citizen relies only on himself in this matter, the first thing he needs to do is find out what documents he will need to register a new building. On the official portal of Rosreestr you can find their main list. However, some documents are not provided by all applicants, but only in special circumstances. For example, if minors were involved in the transaction, then you will need to provide permission received from the guardianship authorities. And if the housing was purchased with a mortgage, then the officials of the registration authority must provide a loan (mortgage) agreement with the bank.

However, citizens should not be afraid of providing an incomplete set of documents. According to the new law on state registration of real estate (218-FZ), the only reason for refusing to accept a package of collected papers and an application for registration of ownership is the absence of a passport from the submitter. If the buyer of the apartment does not have enough other documents, they will accept everything that is available, and will offer to deliver the rest later.

Obtaining ownership of an apartment with the help of a developer

It is possible to register ownership of an apartment through the developer if this condition is specified in the concluded agreement. Then registering the rights of shareholders to the purchased housing is the responsibility of the company conducting the construction. It will act in the interests of citizens, on the basis of powers of attorney received from them.

Involvement of third parties

This registration method is convenient because it allows owners of new apartments to save time on collecting documents and submitting them to the registration authority. All this will be handled by a law firm for a fee.

The client will need to issue a power of attorney to the company employee, upon presentation of which he will be able to act on his behalf. Since the buyer of real estate delegates part of his powers to an outside party, it is necessary to carefully check the reliability and reputation of the selected assistant organization.

Through the court

It is used when the developer does not fulfill his obligations to transfer documents, it is delayed, or problems have arisen with the implementation of mandatory procedures.

What should the developer do before registering apartments?

The ability to register ownership of an apartment largely depends on the actions of the developer. For registration to take place, he must do the following:

1. Draw up a special protocol on the distribution of commercial and residential real estate in the constructed house.
2. Put a residential building into operation, having received permission from the regulatory authority (its names vary, but it is usually called the Committee or the Department of Construction Supervision). Without this document, the building is considered unfinished, and registration will be denied to the potential owner.
3. Register the new building with cadastral registration in Rosreestr.
4. Obtain a technical passport for the constructed house from the Bureau of Technical Inventory (BTI).
5. Sign the transfer deed.
6. Assign an exact postal address to your new home.
7. Prepare apartment passports, if such an obligation is established by the agreement (on equity participation or purchase and sale). If there is no such provision in the document, buyers must resolve issues with the cadastre independently.

You can find out whether the developer has prepared the necessary documentation at the construction company’s office. At the request of the shareholder or buyer, its employees are obliged to issue copies of all documents required for registration of the apartment.

Preliminary actions for the purchaser of an apartment in a new building

The right of ownership of housing in a new building does not arise “by default”. Buying an apartment does not mean becoming its full owner. Having paid the developer, signed the acceptance certificate for the residential premises and received the keys, the shareholder (buyer) has the right to live in it. But he will not be able to dispose of the apartment or even register in it until the citizen has the right of ownership. To complete it, he needs to perform several actions in a certain sequence. Brief step-by-step instructions for purchasing an apartment in a new building are as follows:

• Prepare a package of documents required for submission to the registration authority.
• Pay the state fee for the required government service and be sure to keep the receipt confirming that the payment has been made.
• Choose where and in what way papers will be submitted to the authorized agency.
• Submit documents for registration of property rights.
• Receive them back along with an extract from the Unified State Register, where the applicant will be indicated as the owner of the apartment.

Some preliminary stages should be described in more detail.

Preparation of documents

The main list of documents with which a citizen must come for registration looks like this:

1. Application requesting to register ownership of real estate.
2. Passport of a Russian citizen (if there are several co-owners in the apartment, then each person will need a passport). Originals and copies are needed.
3. Birth certificates of children-co-owners, if shares in the residential premises are planned to be registered in the name of minors who have not yet turned 14 years old.
4. 2 copies of the agreement with the construction company (on equity participation or purchase of a ready-made apartment).
5. 2 copies of the act of acceptance and transfer of the property, signed by both parties.
6. Documentary evidence of the fulfillment by the potential owner of monetary obligations to the construction organization (payments, receipts, etc.).
7. Receipt received upon payment of state duty.
8. A photocopy of the permit for putting the new building into operation.
9. A plan of the purchased apartment and its location (depending on the terms of the contract, it is drawn up either by the developer or by the applicant himself).
10. Power of attorney and passport of the authorized person, if registration of ownership of the apartment is entrusted to third parties.

The unified application form can be downloaded from the official website of Rosreestr. The downloaded sample can be filled out in advance or immediately before submission if the applicant has questions about certain fields. If a citizen has difficulty filling out an application, for example, has physical problems, the registrar is obliged to provide assistance to him using special software on his work computer.

If a citizen had to buy a home with a mortgage, the list of papers attached to the application is supplemented with two more documents:

• a targeted loan agreement concluded with the bank;
• mortgage on a mortgaged apartment.

Choosing an application method

Today, the applicant has the opportunity to choose the most convenient method and place for submitting documents for registration of an apartment in a new building:

• directly contact the Rosreestr authorities;
• submit an application and scans of the necessary documents through the official website of the department;
• visit the nearest one, which will act as an intermediary between the citizen and Rosreestr;
• use the services of a single portal of State Services.

Submitting documents for housing registration

If the buyer of an apartment in a new building decides to act remotely, then before he has the opportunity to register ownership through an electronic resource, he must first register on it himself. To successfully complete this procedure, you need to submit scans of documents identifying the applicant’s identity to the site, and also receive an electronic signature. After this, he will become the owner of a personal account and will be able to use extensive opportunities for remote interaction with various government agencies.

But for now, most citizens contact officials or intermediary workers personally. In this case, the order of their actions is as follows:

1. The collected documents along with the application are sent directly to the registrar or an employee of the multifunctional center.
2. The person accepting the application verifies the identity of the submitter and checks the completeness of the documents submitted with it. If something is missing, the citizen is given a notice indicating what needs to be reported.
3. The employee accepts the documents and issues a receipt listing them.
4. If the application was submitted through the MFC, it is obliged to send them to the registration authority within 1 day. If a citizen contacts Rosreestr directly, verification of their authenticity begins, as well as the “purity” of the transaction to purchase an apartment in a new building.
5. Information about a residential property is entered into the Unified State Register of Real Estate. It also indicates who owns it. A corresponding note is also made on the contract on the basis of which the applicant purchased the housing.
6. An extract from the Unified State Register is issued to the buyer of the apartment along with other documents that are returned to the citizen. It confirms his ownership of the purchased residential premises.

When is ownership registered?

The new law 218-FZ on state registration of real estate has established various deadlines during which the applicant either becomes the owner of a residential premises or receives a reasoned refusal from officials. The waiting time depends on the place where registration documents are submitted, as well as on the nuances of their execution.

Previously, Rosreestr was allowed to register ownership of housing within a month. Currently, the time allotted for this procedure has been significantly reduced (indicated in working days):

• 7 days – from the date of the citizen’s application directly to Rosreestr;
• 9 days – from the date of the applicant’s application to the multifunctional center;
• 5 days – if ownership of the apartment is registered on the basis of a court decision (through Rosreestr);
• 3 days – if the notarized transaction is registered in Rosreestr;
• 5 days – if a notarized transaction is registered through the MFC.

As can be seen from the list, registering property rights through a multifunctional center takes an extra two days compared to directly contacting the authorized body. This is due to the fact that the MFC is given 1 day to send the application and documents to Rosreestr, and the same period is set for sending them back.

Appeal to judicial authorities

Registration of ownership of an apartment in a new building occurs in such an unpleasant way in the following cases:

• if the developer did not transfer the documents to Rosreestr within the period established by the contract;
• if the construction company does not issue the buyer with the documents required by the registration authority (for example, a cadastral passport);
• if registration is delayed because the developer is unable to obtain a postal address for the built house.

Before going to court, the buyer of an apartment in a new building should send a claim to the developer. In it, he points out the existing shortcomings and indicates the period within which the company must eliminate them. If the developer remains silent or refuses to comply with the shareholder’s demands, there is a reason to go to court.

A claim, like a lawsuit, can be filed either by one resident of the house or collectively.

Registration of property rights is carried out on the basis of an application from the shareholder and a decision that has entered into legal force.

Consequences of failure to register home ownership

The buyer of an apartment in a new building is interested in registering ownership of it as quickly as possible. The absence of a title document for real estate is fraught with unpleasant consequences:

• the inability to freely dispose of residential premises (it cannot be bequeathed, donated, exchanged or carried out any other transaction with its participation);
• there are no grounds for registering the buyer and his family members in the purchased apartment;
• the starting point of the three-year period is postponed indefinitely, at the end of which, when selling housing, its owner does not have to pay tax on income received (NDFL), no matter what price he sells it at;
• if the apartment was purchased with a mortgage, the bank will not reduce the interest rate until the borrower becomes the full owner of the residential premises (which is often specified in the terms of the loan agreement).

Information on registering ownership of an apartment is available in the video:

Citizens do not often carry out legal transactions with real estate, so legal knowledge and practical experience are sometimes lacking. Registration of ownership of an apartment is strictly regulated; failure to comply with one or more points can lead to significant material losses. Sometimes inattention requires turning to the courts to defend your interests. Such unpleasant nuances can be avoided if you familiarize yourself with the conditions for the purchase/sale of real estate in advance.

The procedure for registering ownership of an apartment

Ownership of a property is registered with the state registration authority, and a record of the apartment and owner is entered into the Unified State Register of Real Estate. Re-registration from one owner to another will be required for all transactions, such as donation, inheritance, purchase or. The basis for contacting the administrative body is the purchase/sale agreement of the monetary contract between the participants in the procedure.

The concluded agreement proves the right to own the property, but does not allow them to dispose of it at their own discretion. Thus, the agreement has legal significance even before changes are made to the state register.

According to Article 305 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, the buyer’s rights arise immediately after signing the contract; he can live in the living space and make repairs. But the owner remains the former owner, that is, the seller.

An agreement can be drawn up between interested parties without notarization. When contacting a notary, the specialist will require you to provide an extract from the Unified State Register, valid for 10 days, and a technical passport for the object. The certified agreement is registered in the notary register, after which it can be submitted for registration of ownership rights to the state register.

You will need to pay state fees, to the notary and to the registry, after which the real estate documents are accepted for consideration. The cost of registering ownership of an apartment is 2 thousand rubles. Do not forget that obtaining a cadastral and technical passport urgently significantly increases the payment.

The procedure is quite transparent and simple. The package of documents is submitted for verification, the maximum period of which is 30 days. The period for registering ownership of an apartment can be reduced if the property is a collateral for mortgage lending. Documents may be returned for revision or registration of rights will be denied. Poorly readable certificates, corrections and erasures, doubts about the authenticity of personal documents will cause suspension of registration.

The agreement and the acceptance/transfer certificate are mandatory documents; if they are provided by an authorized representative, you will need to attach a power of attorney to carry out the re-registration. The certificate is issued in two copies, one is given to the owner, the second version remains in the archive. An application for registration can be accepted by registered mail with a list of attachments; in such a situation, the signature of the interested person must be notarized.

The stages of registration of ownership of an apartment are the same for all its types and forms; in each specific case, additional information may be requested. Since 2015, the certificate has changed its appearance, the hologram has been removed and not the owner’s passport data is indicated, but the date and place of birth, SNILS. The number and series of the certificate are indicated on the form, a copy is signed by the state registrar. You can receive the document via the Internet, certified by the electronic signature of the registrar.

Legal rights during shared construction are of concern to most shareholders. They can become owners after the house is accepted by the state commission. Typically, the developer independently submits the documents establishing the right; shareholders will need to personally apply for a certificate. The time for consideration and decision-making depends on well-written documentation.

Registration of ownership of a new apartment will require the provision of an apartment acceptance certificate, an agreement for the investment of funds by the future owner, and a copy of the conclusion of the state commission on all the necessary parameters. Independent application does not require changes in the procedure or special documents for registration, it takes place within the established time frame, on average it takes 30 days.

Disputes arising between the developer and the client are resolved in court. The court order is attached to the application for a certificate. For example, there are often cases when the total living space according to documents and actually does not coincide, which requires special consideration.

Disagreement forces the shareholder to file a claim in court. The discrepancy between the provided housing and its technical description must be completely eliminated at the construction stage, since after signing the acceptance certificate it will be difficult to challenge the quality of the provided property. Comments on the applicants’ personal documents may delay the procedure for obtaining a certificate of ownership, which is resolved on a routine basis.

Registration of ownership of an apartment: mortgage

When concluding a mortgage agreement with a bank, the real estate for which the loan is issued becomes physical collateral. The registration procedure is carried out according to the standard scheme, with the registry staff making a corresponding note about the imposed encumbrance. This makes it impossible to dispose of the property without the approval of the mortgage lender.

After repaying the loan obligations, the owner can apply for a new certificate, which will no longer be marked with a ban on the disposal of real estate. Information in the form of a mortgage agreement and a mortgage note with all attachments is added to the main package.

What documents are needed to register an apartment, and where should I apply?

The basis for registering ownership is documents proving that the house has been built and the apartment has been put into operation.

Registration issues are regulated by the Federal Law “On State Registration of Rights to Real Estate and Transactions with It” dated July 21, 1997 N 122-FZ (hereinafter referred to as the Law). It is completely understandable that a person who has encountered this document for the first time finds it difficult to understand it and understand what documents need to be submitted. Let's give some clarifications.

List of documents submitted when registering ownership of an apartment

Documents are submitted at the place of residence. Here are the main ones:

1. One of the important documents submitted during registration is the “basis document” (donation agreement, certificate of inheritance rights, apartment exchange agreement, investment agreement in construction, privatization agreement, resolution of a local government body, etc., that is, a document on on the basis of which the property right subject to registration arises.)

2. The next document, technical description of the object - cadastral passport
There are some nuances here.

• If the cadastral passport has already been submitted to the registration authority, i.e. The Unified State Register of Rights to Real Estate and Transactions therewith (USRP) already contains information about the object (apartment); there is no need to submit a cadastral passport again.
• You should pay attention to the description of the apartment; it must match both the base document and the cadastral passport.
• When contacting the BTI, you should also request an extract from the house register, which will contain information about the citizens registered in the apartment. It is necessary to pay attention to the fact that the extract from the House Register has a short validity period, so you should request it right before submitting documents to the registration authority, when the remaining documents have already been collected.

3. A necessary document is also a certificate of absence of debt on utility bills. It can be obtained from the Management Company servicing the building in which the apartment is located.

4. To register property rights, you must pay a state fee. Its size depends on the basis for the emergence of property rights and may vary. On state registration, you must provide a receipt for state payment. duties

5. You must have a passport or other identification document with you in accordance with the legislation of the Russian Federation.

6. The Law specifies the need to submit an application for registration, however, in practice, as a rule, the application is filled out by the employees of the registration authority themselves, who accept documents for registration.

All documents are submitted in a sufficient number of copies. Each document must have a copy, which is certified by the registration authority when submitting the application.

Conclusion:

When deciding to register ownership of an apartment, you need to collect the necessary list of documents and submit it to the Federal Service for Registration of Cadastre and Cartography at the location of the apartment.

It must be said that this article lays out only the general procedure for submitting documents. The amount of the fee and a more precise list of documents are determined for each case separately. The best way to make sure that your actions are correct is to seek advice from the registration authority, where a specialist will check your documents and inform you about the need for additional information and documents

To register your rights, you can contact them directly, or you can use the services of the MFC. What kind of organization is this? MFC is a multifunctional center for the provision of state and municipal services, where documents are received from citizens for their subsequent transfer to various state and municipal organizations for the preparation of various types of documents.

There are such centers in every city. By contacting the MFC, a person saves time and receives a number of other benefits, such as professional assistance in preparing the necessary documents and filling out applications. All MFCs have an electronic queue, but you can use a pre-registration for a specific day and time.

To save time and not have to wait in line for hours, you can make an appointment with the MFC staff in advance. You can do this in 3 ways:

• Official website of the MFC. You need to visit the center’s “My Documents” website and go to the “electronic reception” section. In it you should select a specific city and a nearby division of the center. A special window will open in which you must enter personal data and indicate the reason for your request. The appointment date will be scheduled 14 days from the date of registration. When visiting the MFC, you must provide the administrator with a passport and indicate how the registration was made.
• State Services Portal. This method is suitable for persons registered on the State Services portal. In your personal account, you must select the function of making an appointment at the MFC, specify the date and time of your visit to the specialist. Please note that this method is in testing mode, so the service is not available in all regions and localities.
• Telephone recording. The easiest way to make an appointment. To do this, you need to call the hotline numbers at the nearby MFC and make an appointment. The administrator on duty will record the user’s passport details, the reason for the request, and set a specific date and time.

Registration stages

Now let's look at the procedure for state registration of property rights. It consists of several stages:

1. Reception of documents by an MFC employee and their initial visual check for the absence of corrections, erasures, clerical errors and for compliance with other legal requirements.
2. Transfer of documents to the registration authority, where a legal examination is carried out, establishing the absence of grounds for refusing registration, such as arrest or other types of prohibition imposed on real estate, unreliability of the information provided, falsification of data, discrepancies in documents, etc.
3. If all documents meet the established requirements, the registrar makes an entry in the Unified State Register.
4. Registration of State Registration Certificates and issuance of them to the applicant.

Let us now dwell on some specific cases of registration of ownership of real estate.

How to register a donated apartment at the MFC

Let us first consider the essence of the donation procedure. A donation is a gratuitous transfer of property, in which the donor transfers it as a gift (i.e., without any conditions) to the recipient. This type of transaction is usually popular between close relatives.

The donation occurs on the basis of an agreement, which can be drawn up either independently or with a notary by paying a certain amount.

In the latter case, there will be a guarantee that the contract is drawn up correctly, as well as the possibility of its restoration in case of loss, because one copy of the deed of gift remains with the notary. In addition, notarization of the deed of gift confirms the legal capacity of all persons involved in the donation, which eliminates the possibility of declaring the invalidity of the gift due to the possible inadequacy of the donor, his coercion and other reasons.

Only legally capable citizens can act as parties to the contract., i.e. mentally healthy people who have not limited their rights by the judiciary and have reached the age of 14. If a citizen is incapacitated, a legal representative (parent, guardian) acts on his behalf.

In itself, the registration of a deed of gift is not an alienation/acquisition of property and becomes such only after state registration of the transfer of ownership of the object of donation. It is worth noting that no more than a year should pass from the moment of signing the deed of gift and submitting documents to the registering authority, otherwise everything will have to start all over again.

Let's focus on the necessary ones:

1. Certificate of state registration of the donor's property rights.
2. Cadastral (technical) passport.
3. Passports and/or birth certificates of all parties to the transaction.
4. Originals of gift agreements for the number of each party plus one copy for the registering authority.
5. Notarized consent for donation from other owners of the apartment if there are several of them (for example, the apartment is registered in equal shares to the mother and her sister, the mother gives her share to the child - her sister’s consent is required).
6. Certificate of registered persons (taken from the house management).
7. Permission from the guardianship and trusteeship authorities if the donee is a minor or incapacitated.

How to register an apartment received as an inheritance

Another basis on which ownership of an apartment arises is inheritance, i.e. transfer of property of the deceased (testator) to the heirs, secured by law. There are two types of inheritance: by will and, if there is none, then by law. In both cases, the main document that will establish ownership is the Certificate of Inheritance, drawn up by a notary.

To receive it, you must, no later than six months from the date of death of the testator, contact the local notary with an application to accept the inheritance; If the heir lived with the deceased, such a statement does not need to be written; it is considered that the property has actually been accepted.

You need to have with you:

• death certificate of the testator (issued at the registry office);
• an extract from the personal account and a certificate of the place of registration of the testator at the time of death (taken from the house management after the testator is deregistered; the certificate indicates all persons registered at the time of his death);
• the basis for the emergence of rights to inheritance (a will or documents establishing family ties with the deceased: birth certificate, marriage certificate, etc.);
• documents on the ownership of the testator’s apartment;
• cadastral passport for the apartment and a certificate of value (issued at the BTI);
• funds to pay the notary fee (you can pay on the spot, or by receipt at the bank);
• extract from the Unified State Register (taken from the Federal Service for State Registration, Cadastre and Cartography).

The notary, having studied the available documents and making sure that there are no other heirs, six months after the death of the testator, opens an inheritance case and draws up a Certificate of Inheritance.

Now you can go to the MFC and register ownership, otherwise no actions (purchase and sale, donation, etc.) can be performed with inherited property.

Documents to be submitted to the MFC:

• Certificate of inheritance (plus one copy for the registering authority).
• Cadastral/technical passports (if the apartment is registered in Rosreestr for the first time).
• Passport for identification.
• Receipt for payment of state duty (original and copy).

In addition to the above, there are other situations when state registration of ownership of housing is required: purchase and sale of an apartment, registration of ownership upon completion of construction, amendments to previously registered rights during redevelopment, etc.

The list of documents is unified, but in each case it will differ slightly, for example, on the basis of the emergence of the right (barter agreement when exchanging housing, privatization agreement - when registering state property as ownership, agreement of participation in shared construction - when registering an apartment in a new building, etc.).

The general requirement will remain the number of copies for registration: the original must remain in Rosreestr, so you need to prepare one extra copy. You can represent your interests during registration yourself, or you can entrust this to another person, securing this decision with a notarized power of attorney.

The state fee is paid before submitting the application and is 2000 rubles; The application must be accompanied by a payment receipt and a copy thereof. If an object is registered for the first time, then a cadastral or technical passport is required. They are absolutely interchangeable, so if you have one on hand, then the design of the second is not necessary. The main thing is that the description of the object in it corresponds to reality and other documents.

The period allotted for verification of documents and completion of registration with the issuance of a certificate is 10 working days.

The procedure for registering ownership of a new building

Reading time: 7 minutes

“Without a piece of paper, you are a bug,” says a well-known saying. Until the treasured document on ownership of an apartment in a new building appears in hand, a person cannot consider himself a formal owner of housing. Even if you . How real estate registration occurs, how long the process can take, and what methods of paperwork there are, we will discuss in this article.

How does the apartment registration process work?

Housing registration is handled by the Federal Registration Service (FRS). The process itself looks like this:

1. The completed house is accepted into operation by the state commission, after which the shareholder is given a transfer deed. This document is proof of the developer’s compliance with his obligations, and also means the fact that the apartment has no flaws or defects that can be identified during inspection, its finishing complies with the contract. It is worth paying close attention to the information specified in the transfer and acceptance certificate, since a simple typo can lead to serious problems with registration of ownership of the apartment.
2. The Bureau of Technical Inventory (BTI) makes a floor plan of the house and an explication of the apartment.
3. Next, the documents (we will give a full list of them below) go to the Fed. Here they undergo a legal examination, as a result of which the future owner of the home will receive a certificate of state registration of rights to real estate. All records about the apartment are entered into the Unified State Register.

Documents required for apartment registration

The full package of documents includes:

1. Floor plan and explication of the apartment, drawn up in the BTI;
2. Agreement with the developer;
3. Application for registration of property rights;
4. Passport + copy of significant pages;
5. A receipt confirming payment of the state duty;
6. Transfer deed.

Copies of other documents besides your passport will also be needed. But what quantity is better to clarify this question separately. If you are registering ownership yourself, then before taking the documents to the Federal Reserve System, you should go to the territorial office of the service and study the information on the stand. There you will learn about all the nuances of the paper submission process and find out how many copies are required for which documents.

Be very responsible about the condition and appearance of documents. According to Article 18 of the law “On State Registration of Rights to Real Estate and Transactions with It,” only whole (undamaged) papers that do not have erasures, additions, corrected and crossed out words, as well as phrases written in pencil are accepted for consideration by the Federal Reserve System.

How long does the procedure for registering property rights take?

Registration of ownership rights to an apartment in a new building at the Federal Reserve System is carried out within 30 working days. This is ideal. In practice, everything is different, and the process of obtaining a “piece of paper” can drag on for years. Delays occur for various reasons. For example, the state registrar may have doubts about the documentation provided by the developer. To clarify the issues, the registration procedure is suspended by officials for a month. For some reason, one of two parties - the developer or the equity holder - can pause the process. Often, the duration of the paperwork procedure is influenced by the personal relationships of officials and representatives of the developer.

What is the fastest way to register ownership of an apartment in a new building?

Registration of home ownership through the court is the longest and most expensive process

There are three ways to register housing ownership: through the developer, independently or through the court. Let's consider all the options for their duration and cost.

• Designed by the developer.

Most often, equity holders transfer the right to draw up documents for apartments in a new building. For this service, the company takes a certain percentage of the cost of housing or a fixed amount. At first glance, everything is very simple: developers immediately transfer to the Federal Reserve a complete package of documents for apartments in a new building, and after a certain period of time they distribute certificates of ownership to new residents. In practice, when documents are prepared en masse, sometimes you have to wait for months until all the residents of the new house finally hand over the necessary papers to the company representative. There is a way out: when signing an agreement with a company to transfer the rights to draw up documents to it, make sure that there is a penalty clause for those who violate the time frame for submitting papers to a company representative. Then there is hope that the process of registering property rights will go more smoothly.

• Registration of a certificate of ownership yourself.

For those who are counting money, the option of obtaining a certificate of ownership on their own is suitable. Cheap doesn't mean fast. Get ready to stand in line and collect stacks of documents and their copies. You can begin the paperwork after the developer has registered ownership of the first apartment in the house. This fact will mean that the address is open, that is, for officials the new object begins to formally exist. To obtain a package of documents, the buyer will have to contact the developer. Moreover, you need to be prepared for the fact that the company will refuse this matter or require you to pay extra for preparing the papers. In some cases, developers provide documents, but not the complete set, and the buyer has to obtain the remaining documents for a long time. After everything necessary is in hand, the person needs to submit the documents to the Federal Reserve System and wait for them to be processed.

• Registration of property rights through the court.

Registration of property rights through the court is necessary when the developer, for one reason or another, refuses to register the property himself. This is perhaps the longest and most expensive process of obtaining documents. Depending on the region, the amount of legal costs will vary, but on average it will be about 30,000 rubles. In terms of time, paperwork for an apartment in a new house through the court will take approximately 1.5 years.

Having received the keys to an apartment, some people prefer to postpone registration indefinitely, when there is time and money for this. Indeed, you can delay obtaining a certificate as long as you like. Due to the lack of a “crust”, no one will kick a person out onto the street from an apartment that he purchased with his own money. The consequences of under-registration of an apartment can be only some very noticeable inconveniences: the inability to obtain a residence permit, issue a foreign passport, register a car, receive benefits for utilities, etc. It will be extremely difficult to send a child to a school or kindergarten at the place of residence. The sale, exchange, will, etc. of an apartment that has not gone through the registration procedure will also turn out to be very labor-intensive.
