“Real estate educational program”: Buying a room is the first step to independent living

People resort to buying housing in a hostel only in extreme cases. Some urgently need their own living space, but do not have the money to buy an apartment, others do this because they are moving to another city for work, and others have just started a family and want to get out from under their parents’ wing as soon as possible. There may be other reasons, but regardless of them, it is important to know how to properly purchase a dorm room. Let's look at this issue in more detail and find out what pitfalls should be taken into account.

general information

A dormitory is considered a place for temporary residence . Dormitories are student, work and family. It is almost impossible to buy a room in a student dormitory, since the building belongs to the educational institution and is intended for housing students, graduate students and teachers. Recently, rooms in workers' and family dormitories have been allowed to be purchased into ownership . The department usually reserves a few rooms to accommodate traveling specialists, and sells the rest of the housing to employees who have lived there for a long time. This does not contradict the law. The owners of dorm rooms, in turn, want to improve their living conditions and, when buying new housing, put the rooms up for sale.

The difference between workers' and family dormitories lies in their amenities and comfort . A room in a workers' dormitory is a separate living space with a shared kitchen and bathroom on the floor or in the block. In a “small family”, the room usually contains at least a washbasin and a toilet, and at a maximum – a separate kitchen, a combined bathroom and a small hallway. The cost of rooms varies depending on the size and living conditions. When considering offers to sell a room, you should pay attention to these aspects.

Purchasing a dorm room is similar to purchasing any other home . If the sale is carried out by the organization that owns the building, then all the documents necessary for the transaction are prepared by the property department of the enterprise. If the purchase is made from a private person, then it is necessary to clarify his right to this living space, and also ask for an extract from his personal account, a certificate of absence of debts for payment of utility bills. If children under age are registered in the room, permission from the guardianship authorities will be required.

What should you pay attention to?

First of all, you need to pay attention to the presence in the set of documents of a notarized waiver of the right to purchase by the co-owners of the apartment.

It should be borne in mind that if the next room is not privatized , then its owner is the city, therefore, the refusal must be from the relevant municipality.

In addition, you need to make sure that the price at which you purchase the room is not lower than that indicated in the refusal.

If there is a minor co-owner, permission from the guardianship authorities is required to conduct the transaction.

IMPORTANT! In the absence of a correctly executed refusal, the authorized body can register the transaction , and the buyer will receive a certificate of registration of ownership, and the seller will receive the money owed to him.

But subsequently, interested parties can challenge the deal in court . If their claim is successful, the buyer risks no property and an uncertain prospect of getting their money back.

It would be useful to check the presence of residents registered in the room at the time of privatization, but who did not participate in it, since they have the right to lifelong residence, regardless of who is the owner of this property. You can find out by reading the archival extract from the house register .

Unfortunately, problems may arise , since due to the law on the protection of personal data, it is often not issued even to the owner.

As a rule, realtors have

necessary connections , so in this case you can use their services.

If for some reason this is not possible, then it is advisable to talk with your neighbors about who lived here at the time of privatization; its date can be found from the title documents.

In some cases, encumbrances may be placed on the room in the form of a lien or seizure . The best way to make sure that they are absent is to contact the Registration Chamber and order an extract from the Unified State Register for the object you are interested in.

pros

Buying a dorm room can solve the problem of a person or small family staying for some time. In any case, the living space will have to be expanded. But you can start an independent adult life this way. The positive aspects of buying a dorm room include:

• Own housing . You don't have to pay rent for a rented apartment. Therefore, you can start saving money to buy a new home.
• A room is more affordable than a full-fledged apartment. You can do without a mortgage loan.
• Subsequently, the room can not be sold, but rented out . This will bring additional income to the family budget.
• Relatively low utility bills.
• The dormitory could be demolished at any time due to its disrepair. In this case, the owners of the rooms are required to pay compensation or provide other housing .
• A dorm room is easier to sell than a room in a communal apartment . The consent of the neighbors will not be required here, since the owner is the buyer and his desire to change living space depends only on the relatives living with him.

○ Advice from a lawyer:

✔ We bought a room in a communal apartment, but one of the residents filed a lawsuit because he was not offered to buy this room during the sale, what to do?

If the plaintiff is telling the truth, and the pre-emptive right was indeed not respected, he has the right to challenge the purchase and sale transaction. In this case, you can file a counterclaim for bad faith against the seller and demand a refund.

✔ After buying a room, the neighbors began to demand that we move out, since they used this room before, and it is now considered “theirs”, what should we do in such a situation?

If the apartment was purchased legally in compliance with the right of pre-emption, feel free to call the police. But first, collect evidence of violation of your personal space (photos and videos, testimony of witnesses are suitable) and contact the police. After an administrative fine is imposed, they are likely to reconsider their behavior.

What pitfalls can you encounter when buying a room ?

If the funds only allow you to buy a room in a communal apartment or in a dormitory, then you should know that the process of buying a room is not simple, it requires time and the collection of a decent package of documents (often even more than when buying an apartment), and there are pitfalls when buying a room can be encountered at every step.

There are especially many pitfalls when buying a dorm room. A dormitory usually has a corridor or block system. You will rarely find a room in a dorm where there are less than 5 neighbors according to the documents, usually from 8 to 20 (sometimes more).

In such a situation, realtors most often offer to carry out the transaction through a gift agreement, then the neighbors will not need to waive their right of first refusal to purchase the room. This is where the main pitfalls when buying a room lie: the gift agreement involves the gratuitous transfer of real estate, and you need to record the fact of the transfer of money. If this fact comes to light in the future, the contract will be considered void (invalid). It turns out to be a double-edged sword.

In such a situation, some lawyers suggest concluding an overdue loan agreement, when first a loan agreement is drawn up for the required amount, and then an agreement is drawn up that instead of money, ownership of the room is transferred. This option should definitely be discussed with an experienced real estate lawyer; it may not be suitable for you.

One more point: if the owner of the room has caused you even the slightest doubt on any aspects (for example, it seemed to you that he is a drinker), be sure to request that the transaction be accompanied by a certificate from a mental health clinic about his legal capacity (the certificate is valid for 1 day). Don’t be shy, set this condition firmly! There was a case when the owner subsequently provided the result of an examination, allegedly he was being treated for alcoholism at that time and could not realize his actions, although he was absolutely sober during the transaction and people confirmed this, and the court ruled in his favor and the room was returned to him.

Therefore, my advice, in order to avoid the pitfalls when buying a room, is to demand that the transaction be carried out only through a purchase and sale agreement, where the real value of the property should be indicated (in no case underestimated!).

It is better to wait a month from the moment of sending letters to neighbors notifying about the sale of the room (more precisely, from the moment the neighbors receive these letters) than to then go to court and prove your rights. If there are few neighbors, then you can send telegrams - this is a little more expensive than letters, but much more convenient. At the post office they will immediately give you a certified copy of the telegram, wear them for only three days, and from that moment you can already count down the month period (the period during which the neighbors are required by law to give an answer).

If you are not satisfied with the monthly period, then you can pay for the waiver of priority purchase of the room by your neighbors, certified by a notary. This is the most reliable option. But it is possible to come to an agreement with your neighbors and bring them to the transaction registration authority so that they give a refusal on the spot - this option is the cheapest, also reliable, but the most troublesome (it depends on what kind of neighbors you are). You can read about the waiver of preferential purchase of a room here.

What other pitfalls are there when buying a room? I came across a case when, when privatizing a room in a dorm, people independently built a partition in the room and separated the “hallway”. The technician from the BTI then considered that only the area after the partition was residential, and the “hallway” was not counted. As a result, for example, instead of 23 sq.m. According to the documents, they had 17 sq.m., and the buyer already bought a smaller area. The annexation of the rest of the “territory” is possible only through the courts.

Be sure to check the footage in the documents and in fact!!!

For example, a room of 14 sq.m. was for sale, the share in the apartment according to the documents was 25/100. The neighbors have a room of 18 sq.m. is also indicated as a share of 25/100. It turned out that these two rooms were adjacent, both 18 sq.m. and originally belonged to these neighbors. Then they made a partition, which created a corridor and the passage room became isolated, but with a smaller area. The room was sold as a separate room, but the share remained the same. That is, the new owners of the smaller room have to pay for the common corridor, which the neighbors also use.

In addition, do not be stingy and order extracts from the State Register about all owners, because some rooms may turn out to be municipal, and this is a special matter.

Conclusion: to avoid all the pitfalls when buying a room, it is better to contact an experienced realtor who will check the documents, verify the area, help the owner collect the necessary information and conduct the transaction.

Buying a home is often the most important purchase a person will make in life.

It’s great if you can buy the property of your dreams right away, but sometimes you have to move towards your goal gradually.

Buying a room in a communal apartment can be the first step in fulfilling the desire to have separate housing.

In addition, this is a good investment . In order for this acquisition to be profitable, you need to carefully think through everything and take some actions. We will talk about this in more detail.

Minuses

Unfortunately, there are more negative aspects than positive ones. When moving into a hostel, people have to face the following problems:

• Contingent living in the house . The neighbors in such buildings are not the best. These could be people suffering from alcohol addiction, former prisoners, drug addicts. People who rent rooms from owners, as a rule, do not always comply with the rules of living in a hostel. Because of this, conflicts often arise.
• Deterioration of the building's engineering systems . Old wiring, rusty pipes, lack of an elevator, problematic sewage system, clogged garbage disposal - these are just a few of the everyday difficulties that hostel residents face. These houses are repaired and reconstructed on a residual basis. Therefore, dirty entrances and areas on floors are a common occurrence and can irritate calm, clean people.
• Inflated cost per square meter . It’s a paradox, but one square meter of living space in a dormitory often costs more than the same meter in an apartment.
• Difficulty in further selling . Selling a dorm room is always more difficult than purchasing one. People consider buying rooms as one of the latest options. If the hostel is located in the city center, then the sale will happen quickly. But dormitories were usually built on the outskirts, close to departmental enterprises. Therefore, the location of the house can play a decisive role in the sale.
• Repair work . To make the room more comfortable, many families do major renovations, turning it into a mini-studio. They install a separate bathroom and separate a section of the room for the kitchen. Such innovations not only make life more comfortable for owners, but also reduce communication with neighbors to a minimum. In the future, it will be easier to sell a well-appointed room.

Room or apartment: which is better?

Let's look at this in more detail. It is not worth saving on the purchase of housing, since this can subsequently result in very large costs. The cost of real estate is largely determined by its technical condition and convenience for living. At the same time, the price of cheap rooms and apartments does not differ too much from the market average.

You should never trust sellers because they will not provide information that corresponds to reality, especially if they urgently need money. As practice shows, buying an apartment in a hostel often ends in resettlement in worse options. Therefore, you need to carefully weigh everything, study the current state of affairs on the secondary market and carefully carry out calculations for your future acquisition.

As for the choice - a room or an apartment - the first option is less preferable, since it significantly limits the possibilities. Firstly, the area will be very small, and secondly, you will have to put up with your neighbors, not all of whom are peace-loving people. And financial feasibility is not one of the best. The cost per square meter of a room is higher than in an apartment.

Conclusions and recommendations

Investing in a dorm room can be a good deal if you have specific goals in mind. Young people solve the problem of their own housing in this way. If necessary, a room in a dormitory can be exchanged for other housing with an additional payment. When purchasing a room in a dorm, it is advisable to pay attention to the location of the building, the accessibility of a school, kindergarten, transport stop, shops and other socially significant facilities.

If you are purchasing a room from a private person, it is advisable to seek help from a professional realtor. This will help avoid many of the pitfalls that usually accompany such transactions. The legal aspect should become fundamental when purchasing living space.

Rooms in dormitories belong to the specialized housing stock of municipal ownership or government institutions. According to its purpose, this is temporary housing provided to citizens for the period of their training, service or work. In accordance with this, a rental agreement for residential premises in the hostel is drawn up.

But by coincidence, citizens can continue to live in the hostel even after the employment relationship on the basis of which the housing was provided has already been terminated.

In this case, the question arises: is it possible to sell a dorm room and how to do it?

Selling such real estate cannot be called simple and quick. After all, it cannot be accomplished without privatizing the room.

Residential premises located in the state or municipal fund and provided to citizens under a social tenancy agreement are subject to privatization (Article 2 of Law No. 1541-1 of July 4, 1991, Chapter 8 of the Housing Code). Therefore, the hostel must be located in a residential building, the owner of which is a state or municipal enterprise, or transferred to the ownership of the municipality. Only in this case, citizens living in it will be able to exercise the right to privatize the room (Article 18 of Law No. 1541-1).

Before you start selling a room, you must:

• clarify whether the house belongs to the municipal fund. To do this, you can make a request to the local administration and receive an extract from the Unified State Register of Real Estate;
• then prepare all the documents necessary for privatization and submit them to the local authority;
• wait for the administration's decision and sign an agreement to transfer ownership of the room.

The document will be submitted to the Rosreestr authority for state registration of the transfer of ownership. At the end, you will receive an extract from the Unified State Register, where your data will be indicated in the owner line.

The transaction for the sale of the room must be completed in the presence of a notary.

Possible loopholes

If there are harmful neighbors living in a communal apartment who do not want to sell the room, this does not mean that you will not be able to buy a home. The issue can be resolved by donating real estate. However, such a loophole also has a downside. There is no guarantee that other residents will accept you normally and not start plotting various intrigues.

There are also certain pitfalls in purchasing a room in a former dormitory through donation. Here, ill-wishers can take advantage of Article 170 of the Civil Code, which deals with one transaction acting as a sham and covering up another.

Therefore, the best option is a peaceful settlement of the issue when all parties come to an agreement. This is the only way to avoid various problems in the future.

Pre-emptive right to purchase a room

At its core, a dorm room is a living space with common areas shared with other neighbors. The situation is similar to a communal apartment, therefore, upon sale, the provisions of Art. 42 Housing Code of the Russian Federation. Where it is said that the owners of other rooms have a pre-emptive right to buy the room being sold.

Guided by this norm, the seller is obliged to notify neighbors in writing about the sale of his living space. This can be done by personal delivery, by mail with acknowledgment of receipt, or by a notary.

The notice must indicate the price of the room and set out the main terms of the transaction. Moreover, if all neighbors refuse to purchase, it cannot be sold to a third party for a price lower than that specified in the notice.

Sample notice to neighbors about the sale of a dorm room

To comply with legal regulations, neighbors are given 30 calendar days from the date of receipt of the notification to make a decision. Before this date, you can look for another buyer only if there are written refusals from all neighbors to purchase.

Several neighbors can apply for a purchase at the same time. Then the principle of offering the best price or completing a transaction with the one who expressed his desire earlier will apply. This is at the discretion of the seller.

Do you need a realtor?

First of all, you need to decide who will select the room, check the documents and complete the transaction.
You can do this yourself or contact a real estate agency .

It is worth assessing whether you have enough knowledge and time to carry out this process.

IMPORTANT! Remember that the seller's realtor is not your realtor . He protects only the interests of his client, and they are often contrary to your interests.

When working with a real estate agency, it is important to discuss your requirements for the selected property with the agent in as much detail as possible.

This way your cooperation will be most fruitful.

When making your own selection, you need to view all advertising platforms in the city in a timely manner. Do not neglect the possible help of friends. Maybe one of them or their friends sells just what you need. place advertisements yourself .

Algorithm for selling a dorm room

When selling a dorm room, you should adhere to the following procedure:

1. Privatize the room, confirm ownership with an extract from the Unified State Register of Real Estate.
2. Send written notices to your dorm neighbors of your intention to sell your room and offer to buy it back at the specified price.
3. If a neighbor has expressed a desire to purchase, then the transaction is concluded with him. When neighbors show no interest in purchasing, you should wait until the end of the 30-day period and begin searching for a buyer. This can be done by submitting advertisements to private classifieds websites, local periodicals, or contacting a realtor.
4. Preparation of all documents for the transaction.
5. Deregistration of all those registered in the property being sold.
6. Drawing up a purchase and sale agreement, sealing it with the signatures of the parties to the transaction.
7. Transfer of an agreement for state registration of transfer of ownership.
8. Carrying out payments and signing the room acceptance certificate.

You can sell a dorm room yourself or turn to a real estate agency for help, but then you will have to pay for their services.

What problems do people face when choosing communal housing?

Ignorance of legal issues can play a cruel joke when purchasing real estate. This is especially true in cases where a room or apartment was previously privatized, but then, due to changes in legislation, the procedure must be repeated. In this case, it will not be possible to resettle the residents, and therefore, the purchase/sale agreement cannot be concluded. In this situation, the stagnant process may drag on for many months, or even years, and the terms of redemption will be less favorable. Therefore, the best option is to come to an agreement with your neighbors.

Necessary documents for selling a dorm room in 2021

To draw up a contract for the sale and purchase of a dorm room, the seller will need to have the following documents on hand:

• passports of all owners to whom the right to own the room is registered (when property is alienated by all at the same time) or a passport of one of the owners (consent from the others is provided);
• notifications of delivery of notices of intent to sell a room sent to neighbors in the dorm;
• if one of the owners is a minor child, consent to the sale from the guardianship and trusteeship authorities will be required;
• in the case where there are several owners, and in the purchase and sale agreement there is only one on the part of the seller, it is necessary to have consent to the sale from the remaining owners;
• a document on the basis of which ownership of the room is registered (agreement with the administration on the transfer of ownership of housing);
• technical and cadastral passports for residential premises;
• a certificate of deregistration of everyone who was registered in the room;
• certificate of absence of debt for housing and communal services.

Choosing a room

One of the main criteria for choosing a room is the adequacy of future neighbors . When inspecting the property you are purchasing, it is advisable to communicate with them and discuss the rules of cohabitation. If they do not make contact or behave aggressively, then it is better to choose another option for purchase.

The infrastructure of the region
is no less important .

A short distance from public transport stops, the presence of a school, hospital and shops within walking distance, a well-kept yard - all this will not only make your stay here more comfortable , but will also help, if necessary, quickly and profitably sell the room.

In addition, you should carefully inspect the house, apartment and the room itself. Unpleasant odors and broken mailboxes in the entrance can significantly worsen the quality of life and become an obstacle to the successful sale or rental of a room.

In the apartment, it is necessary to assess the condition of communications in common areas.

Since it is almost impossible , and you may have to either redo everything at your own expense, or live among sparking wiring and leaking plumbing.

If you don’t have enough money for a separate apartment, there is only one right way out - buying a room. The choice of rooms is huge in terms of quality, location, and price. Rooms are the most affordable type of housing and are in stable demand.

Nuances

When answering the question of how to sell a room in a dorm, it should be borne in mind that such transactions cannot be carried out with living space if it is part of a specialized fund. But even from this situation there is a way out of the Housing Code of the Russian Federation. For example, it will be possible to sell the premises on the condition that after this it will become private property and will not be on the balance sheet of the municipality.

Is it possible to sell a dorm room if it is owned? Such a transaction is possible only if there are prepared documents and contracts. If the room is municipal, the owner needs to draw up a social tenancy agreement, which will be the basis for issuing a certificate of title in Rosreestr. Only with a certificate can transactions be concluded. You can sell your dorm room to intermediaries, who usually sell the property more profitably.

Not all at once, but in parts

The reasons why people buy rooms can vary. Some people don’t have enough money for a full-fledged apartment. And someone has the necessary amount, but for an apartment in a remote area, and he prefers to live in a communal apartment in the center closer to work, rather than travel from the outskirts every day. Rooms are purchased not only by parents for visiting students or for a young family, but also by married couples. “If you don’t have enough savings to buy a separate apartment all at once, but you can’t get a loan or borrow, then the problem is solved step by step,” says Tatyana Polyanichko, head of the department at the Zhilfond agency. – First, you buy a room in a communal apartment. Then, when the amount missing to the cost of a one-room apartment has accumulated, the room can be sold or exchanged with an additional payment for a one-room apartment. In Novosibirsk, rooms are sold both in communal apartments and in dormitories. The most inexpensive rooms can be bought in areas remote from the metro. The price for rooms in the South-Western and Western residential areas, as well as on Zatulinka, starts from 450 thousand rubles. There are offers for 350 thousand rubles. But this will be a room in an old wooden two-story house without hot water supply. Closer to the metro - in the Kalininsky, Leninsky and Dzerzhinsky districts you can buy a room for 600 thousand rubles. The most expensive rooms are sold in the Central, Zheleznodorozhny and Zaeltsovsky districts and their prices range from 700 thousand to 1 million rubles.

Start of registration

According to the law, the right to privatize a room that is needed for sale is exercised if:

1. The hostel is on the balance sheet of the municipality.

2. At first it was the property of the state.

3. The property is used for its intended purpose.

If 3 conditions are met, the individual needs to contact the municipality and conclude a social rent agreement, if it has not been drawn up before. Then the room needs to be privatized. The procedure is similar to the classic privatization of any real estate.

There will always be utilities

The history of communal apartments begins with the October Revolution, which equalized the citizens of the young Soviet republic in rights and responsibilities. At that time there was not enough housing for everyone, so in the cities spacious apartments in tenement buildings and manor apartments were occupied by a large number of workers and employees at the rate of 10 sq.m. per adult and 5 sq.m. per child under 12 years old. The heart of the communal apartment was considered to be the kitchen - the center of public life, a meeting place and communication between neighbors. They usually didn’t eat in the kitchen; they even put food on plates in the room. Prepared food was also stored there. There was no talk of any democracy or equality between the residents of the communal apartment. The highest status was given to the person who had more living space and had lived in an apartment for a long time. In addition to permanent residents, there were also temporary residents in the communal apartment - those who rented a room. They had a very low status and limited rights. But, of course, not everything was bad. There were also many communal apartments where everyone was friends and helped each other in any matter. They borrowed money from neighbors and rented things; they turned to them for moral support and when everyday problems arose. Communal apartments allowed people to survive. Let’s remember the old Soviet films “The meeting place cannot be changed” and “Pokrovsky Gate”, where the characters are such nice residents of communal apartments. “In Novosibirsk, apartments for several owners are not usually called communal apartments,” says Olga Prushkovskaya, a specialist at the Zhilfond real estate agency. “Apparently, because we have never had such communal apartments as in Moscow and St. Petersburg, and now we never will have them.” . We call this format of existence “shared living.” Living “in a shared apartment” is not an easy matter. After all, the most important thing in communal life is good relations with neighbors. If you managed to find a common language with people living in the same apartment with you, then that’s great. The cost of a room depends on the location of the house, usable area, number of residents and general condition. In addition, the presence of a balcony and the area of ​​common areas are taken into account. There will always be utilities. The main reason for this is the affordability of this type of housing.

Procedure and methods of payment

The most popular are payments using a safe deposit box .

In this case

no one risks being left without money , as the agreement with the bank stipulates special conditions for access to the depository.

The seller has the right to open the box only upon presentation of a canceled certificate of ownership, and the buyer can return the money only if the seller fails to appear within a certain time. This protects both of them from possible fraud by one of the parties.

In what case will it be impossible to win the case?

If the municipality did not approve privatization and the citizen went to court, this does not guarantee a positive outcome of the case. In practice, there are cases when even a judge refuses privatization. This usually happens:

• if the room is a passageway, that is, the room is not isolated from other rooms;
• the room was transferred to the municipality from a commercial company, but privatization is possible only if the premises previously belonged to a municipal or state institution;
• the tenant received his living space before March 2005 as service housing (before the Housing Code of the Russian Federation came into force).

There are other cases when the court may rule against the plaintiff. It is worth taking into account all the nuances so that the decision is made positively.

Note! If the case goes to court, it is better not to do it on your own, but to contact a lawyer. The legislation has a lot of nuances, and only a knowledgeable person can take them into account.

Of course, you will have to pay extra for a lawyer’s services, but when you contact a specialist, your chances of winning your case increase significantly. A lawyer will be able to tell you what documents are needed to build a case in court, and will also tell you how to behave at the meeting. In court, the privatization process takes much longer than is required when registering property through the municipality. In fact, a citizen can deal with this case for a standard period of 2 to 4 months, or through the court for 4 months to a year.

Summarizing the above, we can understand that privatizing a hostel building is not always easy. This can only be done under certain conditions. It is impossible to register the ownership of a dormitory from an educational institution.

If the municipality refuses, then the citizen can file a lawsuit in court to carry out the privatization procedure. When going to court, you should prepare and accept the help of a lawyer. The price for registering ownership of the premises through the court will be higher than under the usual procedure.

Package of documents

To privatize a room, the tenant must fill out an application. To design it, you can use a regular sheet of office paper.

The text should indicate the following:

1. Landlord's name. In this case it will be the local authority.
2. Employer details – last name, first name, patronymic, place of residence, passport details and telephone number for contacts.
3. Information about the privatization object - location, total area.
4. Consent of other registrants.
5. The request itself for the transfer of ownership.
6. List of attached documents and certificates.
7. Date, month and year of registration and signature of the employer.

The application must be accompanied by originals or certified copies of the passport, birth certificates of minor residents, and the rental agreement.

Sales procedure

After 30 days have passed, the property can be sold. The buyer can be either a neighbor or a third party if the other residents do not want to buy. If you receive refusals from the owners before a month, you can sell the room after receiving these papers. It also happens that several people want to buy a home. The right to choose a buyer remains with the seller.

The seller is not obliged to notify relatives and family members about the plans if they are not co-owners, but only residents/registered. But this is a matter of ethics and relationships between people. And the written consent of the co-owners is required. You can sell two dorm rooms this way.

Search for buyers

The following can be used to help sell a home:

1. Real estate firms. Although intermediaries charge money for their work, their assistance usually makes it easier to sell the property.

2. Social networks. You can publish messages on popular sites and groups.

3. Special sites. Advertisements are published free of charge, as well as communication. There are many platforms for selling real estate. Additional services can be ordered for money.

4. Contextual. If the housing is elite, then search engines will be required. They show an offer for a specific request; you can customize the results for the desired city and region.

5. Traditional methods. In small towns, regular advertisements, newspapers, and word of mouth are used.

The ad will be viewed by many interested parties, so it must attract attention. Therefore, it is important to assess the condition of the living space and indicate the advantages.

The speed of finding a buyer is influenced by many factors. It is much easier to sell a room located in an area with developed infrastructure. It will be easier to find a buyer if the property has all the amenities. To sell the room more profitably, renovations must be made. The view from the window is also of great importance. If you wish, you can sell furniture and appliances at a lower cost. But you should not reduce the price of the room, because then considerable funds will be lost.
