Everyone knows the saying: «A real man must build a house, plant a tree and raise a son» We can say that in the modern interpretation, every adult, having matured and gained independence, dreams of buying or building his own home. To some extent, having your own «nest» is an indicator of success. It can be an apartment or a house, depending on personal preference and, of course, financial capabilities. What algorithm of actions and where can I get information about offers in the field of buying and selling residential buildings, we will highlight in more detail in this article.
Purchase of residential buildings in Minsk
Houses located within the boundaries of the city of Minsk, or no more than 10-15 km from the city, are in special demand. If you are going to buy a house in the city, then in this case it is important to find out with the help of the executive committee or the website of the Ministry of Architecture about plans for the development of the territory on which this object is located. It will be safer to apply with an official appeal to these structures in order to avoid unforeseen circumstances in the future, after the completion of the transaction. What to look for when buying a home:
1. The purity of the transaction in terms of legal registration (we will consider in more detail below);
2. The presence of neighbors and their personal characteristics in terms of the comfort of living next to these people;
3. Availability of such amenities as heating the house (gas, stove or electric), central sewerage;
4. The condition of the supporting structures of the house and especially if the roof is not leaking;
5. The presence of wall insulation and good windows in the building, these circumstances significantly affect the thermal efficiency of the building, which is proportionally related to the energy consumption for heating;
6. Availability of free land on the site (for lovers of the garden and garden), or if you plan to make an extension or build a bathhouse, garage, etc.
7. Evaluate the quality of repairs and the general condition of the house in order to roughly estimate the amount of financial investment for a comfortable stay in it for you and your family;
8. If you plan to buy a house in a dacha cooperative for year-round living in it, then consider the fact that the tariffs for paying utility bills there will be 2-3 times more expensive.
Execution of a contract of purchase and sale of a residential building
How to properly draw up a contract for the sale of a house? You can do it in the two most common ways: do everything yourself or contact a real estate agency, which will take risks for payment (usually from 1.5-5% of the transaction value) and perform all the necessary procedures on your behalf. Consider the option of self-registration: specialists of the Agency for Registration and Inventory of Real Estate (formerly BTI) or notaries have this right. When buying, you must provide a technical passport of the house and check for compliance of all buildings with its plan. It is also checked whether the house has been privatized, who exactly is its owner and whether there are still persons who have the right to this housing or part of it, whether there are any arrears in payment of utilities. To certify the contract, the presence of the buyer, the seller, and, if possible, all citizens who must give their consent to the transaction is required. It is also important to check if the seller has paid income, land and property taxes. This information is verified in the event that the seller is a citizen of the Republic of Belarus who does not permanently reside in Belarus, a foreign citizen, a stateless person or a foreign or international legal entity that is not located in Belarus.
Registration of real estate
State registration of a transaction with real estate is a legal act of recognition and confirmation by the state of the fact of the transaction. Territorial organizations for state registration carry out registration actions in relation to the following immovable property:
• Land plots;
• Capital structures (buildings, structures);
• Unfinished mothballed capital structures;
• Isolated premises, including residential;
• Parking spaces.
