(material updated on February 04, 2021) check the owner of the apartment in 2 simple ways.
1st method: check the apartment by cadastral number or address online, by obtaining an extract from the Unified State Register of Real Estate.
Let me remind you that from January 1, 2021, the extract from the Unified State Register has been replaced by an extract from the Unified State Register.
But essentially, they are the same eggs, only in profile.
2nd method : through the BTI, by obtaining an intricate certificate.
It should be noted that any citizen can check the owner, because information about the owners is public.
The easiest way is to check the owner or find out the owner by cadastral number online through Rosreestr, because an extract from the Unified State Register arrives online within 20 minutes.
So let's get started.
1st method.
Instructions for checking the owner of an apartment online.
Using the service is intuitive and easy.
Enter the address in the search bar: city, street, house number, apartment.
Please note that when writing an address, a drop-down list will appear from which you can select the full address of the object .
After clicking on Search , the system will check the availability of information in Rosreestr within 3 - 5 seconds.
If Rosreestr has records about the property, the system will display the cadastral number, address and area of the found apartment under the search line.
Does the cadastral number change when the owner changes?
If a purchase and sale transaction or any other actions NOT described below take place with the land plot, then unlike the cadastral passport, into which amended information is entered, the CADASTRAL NUMBER ITSELF DOES NOT CHANGE !
Changing the CN is possible only in the following cases:
- Changes in land status.
- Increasing/decreasing territory.
- When dividing a plot into several, in this case a new number is assigned to each plot.
Before a property transaction, it makes sense to double-check information about the owner of the plot, which will prevent dishonest and fraudulent actions directed at the buyer. With our instructions, the question of how to find the owner of a plot by cadastral number no longer seems so difficult, right?
How to check the owner through the BTI?
BTI is a technical inventory bureau. These bureaus are engaged in the production of technical passports for apartments, houses and other real estate.
Verifying the owner of a property through the bureau is a more labor-intensive procedure compared to an extract from the Unified State Register of Real Estate, because it cannot be done online.
To check the owner of the apartment, you need to contact the Bureau of Technical Inventory personally or through a representative.
For reference: Until 1998, all transactions with apartments and houses were registered with the BTI, because at that time Rosreestr had not yet been created.
After 1998, Rosreestr began to register transactions.
In theory, all bureaus were supposed to transfer transaction archives to Rosreestr. But as far as I understand, this did not happen.
For this reason,

About free methods
Let me answer briefly - there are none. To find out the owners of a particular land plot, you need to make a paid request to the Unified State Register of Real Estate (hereinafter referred to as EGRN), after which they will issue an extract or report. These documents list the owners - more details. For example, bailiffs can make a free request to the Unified State Register.
You can see for yourself that it’s free. In the Russian Federation there is such a service as Rosreestr. There they are filling in information in the Unified State Register of Real Estate. Rosreestr has an official website where you can get reference information from the Unified State Register of Real Estate about the real estate you need - https://lk.rosreestr.ru/eservices/real-estate-objects-online. Reference means free. For example, I want to find out about a land plot with cadastral number 63:01:0252002:652. This is the information I received.
(click on the picture to enlarge it)
As you can see, the reference information from the Unified State Register does not contain information about the owners. This happens when checking any other real estate. In addition, do not use third-party sites - they take all the same reference information from the Rosreestr website and simply display it on their own.
Why do you need to know the owner of the land?
With any legal actions regarding real estate, first of all it is necessary to find out the owner of the land plot . First of all, so as not to stumble upon unscrupulous owners or scammers. Let's consider several situations.
When purchasing a plot. Very often, scammers try to sell property to which they do not have ownership rights. After receiving the money, it disappears, and you are left without funds and without land. To avoid falling into the hands of scammers, it is better to make sure in advance and find out the real owners of the land.
If the plot has several owners. To avoid disputes and problems during the purchase and sale, find out information about all owners. There are situations when some owners sell a property without the knowledge of others.
If you like an abandoned area. At first glance, such a site may seem abandoned and abandoned. But this does not mean that he does not have an owner. Perhaps it is in the possession of a legal entity and is mothballed for several years. Or it is owned by the state. In any case, in order not to guess, it is worth finding the owner of the land plot.
Do you want to collect information about your neighbors? New tenants have moved into the neighboring house, about whom you know nothing. Moreover, they do not behave very decently and do not make contact. The first thing you need to do is find out the owner of the land.
