The owner is an individual or organization that has the right to use, own and dispose of it (Article 209 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation). When selling property, this right passes to the buyer on the basis of a purchase and sale agreement. If the information in the contract is not true, the transaction may be considered void.
Before concluding a transaction, it is especially important to check whether the name of the owner and their number are correctly indicated in the contract. This will help avoid problems in the following cases:
- The apartment is being sold by a third party, and the contract indicates a false owner;
- The apartment is in shared ownership, but only one owner is mentioned in the contract;
- One of the owners is a minor/incapacitated citizen, but the contract does not say this. To sell such property, permission from the guardianship authorities is required.
To find out who is the owner of the apartment, you need to submit a request to the Unified State Register of Real Estate (USRN). The Unified State Register of Real Estate stores all information about real estate starting from 1998. Earlier data can be found in the BTI, but they are issued only to copyright holders.
How to find out the owner of an apartment by address
Any interested person can obtain information about the owner of the apartment from the Unified State Register (USRN). A request to the registry is submitted in one of the following ways:
- in person at a branch of the registration authority or MFC;
- in paper form by mail;
- online on the portal www.rosreestr.ru or on State Services;
- using the online service.
The search for information is carried out both by address and by cadastral number of the apartment.
If you want to check what information about an apartment is publicly available, you can use the online real estate verification service of Rosreestr. For this:
- Enter the address in the search bar;
- Select the desired object and go to its page.
You will see general information about the apartment: full address, cadastral number, cost, floor, area, date of registration and form of ownership, as well as the number of owners. To find out the name of the owner, order an extract from the Unified State Register of Real Estate.
Rosreestr issues various types of statements depending on the availability of the information provided. Public information about real estate is contained in the statement of basic characteristics. In addition to the full name of the apartment owner, such a document contains information about the presence of restrictions, encumbrances or legal claims. To obtain the document you need to pay a state fee.
Important: Detailed information about the owners is issued only to persons from the list in parts 13, 14 of Art. 62 No. 218-FZ.
How to find a debtor's property in another city
The problem with the work of the FSSP is that it is built on a territorial principle. That is, every city and every district has its own FSSP departments. Often, they interact with each other not very productively. Bailiffs working in a specific locality have no problem identifying the debtor’s property located “locally”, but they cannot always find the debtor’s property in another city. In principle, nothing prevents you from making a request to the traffic police or a division of Rosreestr in another city. But you can’t make requests to all cities.
Reasons are needed to believe that the debtor has some valuables in a certain locality. Here, in fact, it is necessary to take measures to try to find the debtor’s property yourself, and then “involve” the bailiffs. However, the development of high technology works wonders. Many government agencies have electronic databases and registers. Nowadays it is not always necessary to send a bunch of “paper” requests; it is enough to make several electronic ones.
How to make an order
To obtain the necessary information you need:
- contact us in any convenient way;
- provide initial data, select the appropriate tariff;
- pay for the service.
ATTENTION: In 2-4 days you will receive the necessary information in the form of an extract with detailed comments. The cost and lead time of the order depend on the chosen tariff. Data on owned movable and immovable property received from the Federal Tax Service - 5,000 rubles, two days. Extract from the Federal Tax Service + Rosreestr - 10,000 rubles, 4 days.
Possible difficulties in finding property information
One of the difficulties in obtaining data from Rosreestr and the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate is that these departments can only confirm the data that will be presented in the request. That is, if a person suspects that a specific object belongs to the person of interest, knows the necessary data about it, then thanks to an official request these suspicions will turn into confidence. Moreover, to obtain information about each object, it is necessary to make a separate request and pay a fee each time.
It will not be possible to find out more detailed information - the registration law strictly protects the personal information of citizens.
Find out the owner's property.
Are there any free ways to find out the owners?
Property owners must have a document on hand that confirms ownership. Just ask to see this document. This may be a certificate of registration of rights (
) or an extract from the Unified State Register of Real Estate (
). If there is no desire and opportunity to contact the owners, then you can get an extract from the Unified State Register yourself and do not need to go anywhere - more details.
I also want to dispel a popular myth that is circulating on many forums and even legal websites. Allegedly, the tax office / housing office / passport office will name the owners of other people's real estate if you convince the employee that you want to buy this property and are checking it. Allegedly, the employees will get into the situation and tell you everything. This is complete nonsense. Owners will not simply be named for free either in these organizations, or on the Internet, or anywhere else. Information about property rights holders is stored in the Unified State Real Estate Register (USRN). According to paragraph 2 of Art. 63 of the Law on State Registration, a free request to the Unified State Register can be made by law enforcement officers, prosecutors, bailiffs, notaries, etc. Ordinary citizens can make a paid request and receive an extract or report. They show the owners - all the details are below.

The owner, in case of concerns for the real estate he owns, can contact the Rosreestr office with a statement about the impossibility of state registration of the transfer, restriction (encumbrance), or termination of the right to such real estate without the personal participation of the owner (his legal representative). How to obtain reference information about a real estate property The "" service can be used on the Rosreestr website if you need to obtain up-to-date information about a real estate property: a description of the property, its address, information about the presence or absence of registered rights, restrictions or encumbrances of rights.
The search for information is carried out according to one of the criteria: cadastral number, conditional number, address, number of state registration of rights, restrictions (encumbrances) of rights.

The service is provided to the applicant free of charge in real time.
What you should pay attention to when purchasing a property The Seller must provide documents - originals (for example, contracts) or duly certified copies (for example, an act of a local government body), on the basis of which he owns the alienated property.
The buyer should pay attention to the frequent resale of the property.

Ways to find out the owner's property
A person can own real estate and movable property. All property is registered with certain departments. For example:
- Rosreestr - the database of this department contains information about all residential real estate, land plots, garages, non-residential premises;
- Traffic police - there is information about personal transport owned;
- GIMS and Rosaviation - information about watercraft and aircraft, respectively;
- Federal Tax Service - any property is subject to tax, therefore, based on accrued and paid fees, one can draw a conclusion about the existing property.
Where the information is stored is clear, but is it possible to find out a person’s property using the TIN or having other data? And if possible, how?
OKFS code structure
Before the introduction of OKFS, FSC was widely used in the economic sphere (until 2000). In the new classifier, the previous code designations of forms of ownership were retained.
OKFS consists of two numbers. The first designates the group to which the object is assigned. The second indicates the serial number within the group. There are 4 groups:
- forms of ownership belonging to Russia and located on the territory of the country;
- property of foreign states located and operating on the territory of Russia;
- joint ownership of Russia and foreign states;
- mixed property of the Russian Federation, owned by the state and citizens.
To simplify the use of the classifier, all of the listed codes are deciphered in Appendix A on the basis of articles of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation and the relevant Federal Laws. Appendix B contains codes in alphabetical order, B – in ascending order.
The use of OKFS will allow you to assess the competitiveness and efficiency of the enterprise. Organizations in the same industry may have different forms of ownership. For example, an agricultural enterprise can be a private “16” or a state agricultural holding “11”.
Get reliable information quickly
The above information allows us to conclude that it is almost impossible to find out information about property if a person is not the owner of this property or is not one of the list of those who have the right to it. What to do if such information is needed by third parties? We offer to solve the problem quickly and simply.
By ordering a search service from us, you can:
- receive ownership of all the property to which you are entitled by inheritance;
- upon divorce, count on half of all property owned by the spouse;
- sue the debtor, knowing that he has real estate or a car that can be collected against the debt;
- lend money against property, knowing for sure that the person has it.
Why and when do you need to find out the availability of real estate by TIN and other property?
What reason, other than simple curiosity, could lead to the need to search for the property of an individual? The reasons can be very diverse. Here are the ones that arise most often:
- Resolving inheritance issues and disputes. When a person does not leave a will, sometimes it becomes necessary to find out how much property he owned.
- Resolution of divorce disputes. When family ties are dissolved, all property acquired jointly must be divided in half. Sometimes one of the parties does not know that the spouse has any property. Having reliable data will be very helpful.
- Resolving disputes with debtors. You borrowed money, but you can’t get it back? The debtor declares that he is on the verge of bankruptcy and has nothing to repay the loan? Is this really true and is it worth suing him?
IMPORTANT: This is not all, but the most basic reasons for searching for property using the TIN of an individual.
