Housing in new buildings is distinguished by a healthy advantage, among which the main thing is the ability to become the owner of an object from the new fund. However, many buyers still prefer to buy the objects of the secondary real estate market. It is not necessary to wait a few years until the construction is over, there is no risk of cash loss due to the unprofitability of the developer or the danger of settlement in uncomfortable housing is minimal.
With all the advantages, secondary apartments are also fraught with certain dangers for inexperienced buyers attracted by the external attractiveness of the object. For example, it is difficult for any supporters of secondary housing to refrain from buying an apartment on Kutuzovsky Prospekt, where each house is an example of architectural perfection. And apartments in this part of the city are distinguished by spacious rooms, high ceilings, convenient layout. However, with all the impeccability of the appearance, all objects of the secondary housing sector are recommended to be checked, focusing on certain selection criteria.
Criteria for choosing or security guarantee
The main document reflecting all the details of the transaction is the contract of sale, at the same time serving as a reliable guarantor in the case of force majeure circumstances. For this reason, the study of the rules and the procedure for its design should pay close attention.
In case of implementation of the transaction through the real estate agency, it is necessary to carefully relate to the conclusion of the relevant agreement with it. A preliminary study of documents for an apartment can tell a lot about housing history. Frequent resale for a short period of time serve as a warning factor, guided by which it is better to immediately refuse to buy with all the attractiveness of the object.
Some nuances of the contract of sale
The legislation allows the conclusion of a simple contract between the seller and the buyer, but for security and reliability it is recommended to use the services of an experienced notary and enlist the official assumption of documents.
In the contract, when buying housing, it is better to indicate its real value-in the case of a trial after the conclusion of the transaction from the seller, the amount prescribed in the contract of sale will be charged.
The amount of money deposited at the initial stage of purchase of secondary housing should be documented in this form. Replacing the pledge with the term “advance” is considered erroneous, since the advance payment from a legal point of view is part of the payment for housing and therefore is not subject to refund. The bail, under any circumstances, remains the property of the owner of the owner and will be returned if necessary.
