Checking an apartment is an important stage both at the stage of purchasing an apartment and in a situation where you are planning a long-term rental property. It is not enough to simply select an object and inspect it; it is important that the documents are in order and that the seller is a bona fide owner or lessor. When signing a purchase and sale or lease agreement, you not only have to check the papers that are presented to you, you also need to compare them with data from Rosreestr.
What is Rosreestr
Rosreestr is a register of all recorded and registered real estate in Russia. And to obtain information about a specific property, you need to order only one document. This is an extract from the Unified State Register of Real Estate. In short, an extract from the Unified State Register of Real Estate. Today it serves as the main document confirming the ownership of housing.
Online verification of document readiness by application number
The document readiness check service is available only on the official FSR portal. For detailed information about the reasons for suspension, you should contact the Rosreestr branch at the location of the property.
After submitting an application for the provision of a service, a registration number is assigned.
How to check the readiness of documents online? (read more…)
The services of the section for checking the readiness of all necessary documents in Rosreestr are provided free of charge to all categories of applicants.
What can you check using an extract from the Unified State Register of Real Estate?
- Current owner. Here you need to pay attention to the column “copyright holder”. You can check who is really selling you a home if you compare the extract with the person’s passport and other documents for the apartment. The same is true if you decide to rent a house and have doubts about the landlord. This way you will protect yourself from scammers who sell other people’s real estate, passing it off as their own. Important! If the line “copyright holder” is not filled in, this means that the property was purchased recently or was completely inherited.
- History of previous owners. This information can be obtained by reading the extract “On the transfer of ownership rights”. The previous owners will be listed there. If the owners have changed too often, this is a reason to think about it. Perhaps there was something that didn’t suit them in their housing and everyone wanted to get rid of it as quickly as possible.
- Apartment parameters. The extract shows the cadastral value of the property, from which you will understand how much the seller is inflating the price. Or vice versa, it underestimates. The exact area of the object and name: residential or non-residential area. The latter includes apartments. You can live in them, but you cannot register. This is also important to consider when purchasing.
- Encumbrances on the apartment. They restrict some activities with real estate. For example, if the housing is still under mortgage, then it is pledged to the bank. This means that in all transactions there will be a third party - the bank; without its consent you cannot sell, much less donate, an apartment. There are more serious encumbrances that, in principle, prohibit the sale of an apartment. In case she is arrested, for example, for debts. Until the debt amount is paid, the housing cannot be disposed of.

The report contains information about plots of land, houses and apartments. Information about real estate objects can be obtained online if they have been entered into the register. In some cases, the data was entered into the register, but the applicant cannot receive it because the information is too recent. Rosreestr processes incoming applications within 14 working days. If you know that a transaction on an object took place recently, you should wait 2 weeks for the data in the system to be updated.

Validity
Reference information on real estate objects is valid for one month. However, you need to keep in mind that registering rights to an apartment or house takes a day. Therefore, the data in the report will lose its reliability at any time. Although the law does not establish a rule regarding the validity period of the certificate, the applicant needs to remember that the more recent the report, the greater the chance of its relevance. There is no point in storing a document for a long time.
Additional online ordering options

The report is an official document with a digital signature. An electronic signature replaces a handwritten signature and seal. In a technical sense, a digital signature consists of a set of digital codes that change the information of the document being certified. Thanks to an electronic signature, the document cannot be falsified. Thus, the USRN report sent by the service has the same legal force as a regular document, because contains digital signature. The data can be used at your own discretion - present it to government agencies, confirm rights to real estate in a purchase and sale transaction, apply for a loan from a bank, etc.

Relevance of information
And a little about the sad. Everyone has experienced failures of electronic resources in government agencies. Either the server cannot cope, then the database does not download, or the window does not open. Rosreestr is no exception. New information about cadastral registration and registration of rights in the country is added to the site every minute. Data changes and old printouts become irrelevant. Plots suddenly “disappear” from the public, information about the owner disappears. Yesterday there were red borders and information - today there are none. Sometimes houses are registered twice at the cadastral register, and the tax office issues two bills. There are many mistakes - the system is not improved. Perhaps this is a transition period and everything will work out. How soon is a rhetorical question.
Are all real estate properties in the Russian Federation registered in the Unified State Register of Real Estate (USRN) Rosreestr?
All property owners must register data on objects, regardless of the category of the transaction (donation, exchange, purchase under DDU). But if the owner has not personally applied, then Rosreestr does not independently carry out measures to obtain registration data. On the part of citizens, this is a violation and, until the owner’s name is corrected, he is not considered to have assumed ownership rights.
As practice shows, not all data is displayed in the archive today. To clarify the availability of information, you need to enter the address of the object of interest in the search window.
What real estate properties can you get information on online?
An extract can be created for all objects, information about which is in the register. All data is up-to-date, since the employees of the authority make timely corrections to the current data, guarantee quick updating of information, and monitor the correct formation of the register.
Public data about objects and operations carried out with them may not be provided free of charge. But such an extract will contain only general information, and for detailed information you will have to pay. This can be done online by debiting money from a bank card, mobile account balance or e-wallet.
Registration of rights to real estate
The Rosreestr directory allows citizens to use the main services of the site without an additional visit to the local branch of the authority. The main reason for contacting the chamber is the need to register property rights for a new property. At the end of the procedure, the contract is considered fulfilled and one party to the transaction becomes the full owner of the property, and the second loses all possible claims.
After reviewing the application for registration, the department’s employees prepare an extract from the Unified State Register, which is handed over to the new owner. The certificate of ownership is not being prepared today.
After sending the application, the applicant in his personal account can familiarize himself with the stage of the process, the approximate date of completion of the procedure and any difficulties that arise that require additional participation of the applicant.
Getting information
Rosreestr has a section with open data, that is, information that can be obtained on the basis of a handwritten written petition. For individuals, this data may be useful when selling or obtaining property rights to property. So, on the Internet, based on a letter, you can obtain the following groups of information:
- cadastral value;
- degree of technical wear and tear of the building;
- calculation by specialists of the upcoming tax.
The service’s website regulates the reception of citizens, so you can pre-register for an audience with an engineer or registrar to carry out the procedure.
Access to services is also available through the State Services portal. To do this, it will be correct to undergo full registration and gain access to government organizations and their services.
