The acquisition of real estate is an important issue that requires special attention, since there are many fraudulent schemes and unreliable sellers. In order for the cherished purchase not to be overshadowed by financial losses, it is worth preparing for the process in advance, and accordingly, checking the apartment before buying is important here.

Any real estate objects require a comprehensive inspection so that the buyer does not encounter problems in the future. It is quite difficult to conduct it independently, especially if there is no knowledge of the current legislation, because a superficial visual inspection is not enough to formalize a transaction. Here it is important to study the title documents, technical documentation and many other legal nuances.

The competent specialists of the Arten company will conduct a high-quality and complete inspection of real estate before buying both in a new building and in the secondary housing market.

Features of real estate inspections in the primary housing market

A legal check of an apartment before buying is primarily important to identify potential problems when buying real estate. It will prevent the danger of freezing the funds invested in the direct construction of the facility and not becoming a victim of fraudulent schemes.

The comprehensive service of a real estate lawyer consists of:

  • Direct verification of information about the developer, contractors and the construction object. At this stage, the specialist checks the history of the developer and related enterprises, analyzes their registration documents, checks for arrests, mortgages, judicial and enforcement proceedings against milestones of legal entities related to construction, and also studies all permits for construction. First of all, the issue concerns the availability of licenses, technical conditions for summing up all necessary communications. The issue of legality of construction, verification of the right to use the land plot and its terms specified in the relevant document falls into his field of view.
  • Analysis of the main sales scheme and contract terms proposed by the developer. The acquisition scheme is fully studied and to what extent the developer's proposal complies with the current legislation, and the conditions stipulated in investment agreements, preliminary agreements, property rights purchase and sale agreements, forward contracts, joint activity agreements and real estate assignment are taken into account to determine how they protect the investor, as well as his rights and interests.
  • The presence of all documents that allow construction.
  • Whether the legal entities involved in the construction have tax arrears.
  • Whether the developer and contractors are bankrupt.

This process is important when buying not only an apartment, but also any real estate, so it is important to check the house before buying, land, warehouse or office space in order to protect yourself from the loss of financial resources or the rights of third parties to this property.

To start checking, a potential buyer must specify the name of the developer, where the purchase is planned and, if possible, the documents that the developer himself gave for review. All subsequent issues that arise during the verification process are resolved by lawyers directly with the real estate seller.

Checking of secondary housing for registration of purchase and sale

To carry out the inspection, it is necessary to provide copies of the title documents for the purchased property that the seller has. This is a contract of sale, a technical passport, a certificate of ownership, a certificate of registered family members in the apartment being sold, including children, and other available data about the property.

Information and documents of the seller and his family members will also be required to conduct a thorough analysis of possible risks. If children under the age of majority or persons with limited legal capacity are registered in the apartment, the purchase and sale transaction is carried out only with the consent of the guardianship and guardianship authorities. Among other things, we need information about the expected terms of the transaction, which the parties have agreed on, in order to assess all possible risks and conditions of the proposed transaction.

The service for checking housing in the secondary market consists of:

  • Studying the full information about the object. The property right and its legality are checked - the contract of sale, barter, gift agreement, will, court decision, document on privatization. As well as the presence of encumbrances, judicial or enforcement proceedings in relation to the property, checking for arrests and mortgages.
  • Checking the seller. Here, all the seller's data is fully checked, all possible claims of third parties in the person of children and spouses are analyzed. It is mandatory to check for the presence of encumbrances, judicial or enforcement proceedings against the owner, the presence of an arrest or mortgage.
  • The debt on utility bills is checked. To do this, certificates are requested from the service organization about the absence of arrears for all utilities, which necessarily indicates the indicators of all meters on the date of issue of the certificate.
  • Checking the technical condition and its compliance with the established standards. The actual layout of the apartment is checked for compliance with the technical passport.
  • Analysis of the contract and terms of sale. A full analysis of the preliminary or main contract, but also the scheme, as well as all the conditions of sale, is carried out. In the process of which edits can be made or a new agreement is drawn up with the approval of the conditions for making a deposit and the principal amount of payment.

Additionally, it is recommended to check the history of the transfer of ownership of the apartment, the imposition and removal of encumbrances on it. These are bans, arrests, mortgages. This check allows you to find out the entire history of the apartment: how many owners there were, on the basis of what the ownership right was, when and by whom encumbrances were imposed and removed. It is also important to know whether the seller is legally married, and whether the spouse agrees to the alienation of the apartment.
