Bad apartment: how to detect encumbrances on real estate

When choosing a future home, the first thing a buyer pays attention to is its geographical location and size. To decide on a purchase without wasting extra time examining all available options, you can find out the area of ​​the apartment at the address online. We tell you how to do this simply and quickly.

Apartment area - what will the indicator affect?

The area of ​​the purchased apartment is an official technical indicator that is freely available. It affects not only the comfort and convenience of future residents. The footage of housing turns into a serious economic indicator for the family budget:

• The cadastral value is calculated from the size of the area - the amount of property tax directly depends on it;
• Some utility bills (for example, heating or maintenance) are calculated based on the area.

In addition, when purchasing housing with an open plan from a developer, the total area will help you determine in advance the number of possible rooms and other premises.

Obligation to pay

The main document regulating the procedure for citizens to live in residential premises is the Housing Code of the Russian Federation. It notes the rights and responsibilities of people who have moved into city apartments. It does not take into account whether there are documents of title to the housing or whether the premises are occupied in accordance with the lease agreement.

Every person should remember:

• maintaining silence so as not to disturb neighbors;
• maintaining the proper condition of the living space;
• timely transfer of funds for the use of utilities.

Every month a person is obliged to transfer the debt for the consumption of housing and communal services resources to organizations that are their suppliers. The rule applies to owners of both private and municipal property. Moreover, the rules apply throughout the Russian Federation. The amount that needs to be paid is determined in accordance with the tariffs in force in the state and regions.

Every month the citizen receives payment receipts. It notes the amount of payment for the use of various resources.

Among them are:

• electricity;
• use of sewerage;
• cold and hot water;
• gas removal;
• removal of household waste;
• space heating;
• general house expenses;
• telephone line payment;
• elevator maintenance;
• radio point.

These utilities are not paid by all consumers. In this regard, there is a violation of legal norms and citizens are held accountable.

How to get information about an apartment with only an address

The area of ​​an apartment is one of its main technical characteristics. It must appear in the housing cadastral passport, and you can recognize it using a unique identifier - the cadastral number. There are several ways to obtain information about a property of interest.

To obtain a cadastral number and gain access to the cadastral passport, you must know the exact address of the property. In a special section of the Rosreestr online service, you must enter data on the location of the apartment:

• region of location;
• name of the locality;
• street name, house and apartment number.

The system will show the identifier under which the property was registered. You can find out the area of ​​an apartment by address by accessing the information in the cadastral passport.

Get information for free

Online verification of real estate through Rosreestr is carried out free of charge in the following way:

1. Enter the cadastral number (or verification code).
2. Click on the button to create a request.
3. A window will appear with suggested options - select the one marked in blue.

After the completed manipulations, information about the requested object will appear. There is some data that will not be available, but the main technical points can be found out for free.

Three ways to find out the square footage of an apartment

You can find out or check the area of ​​a future purchase in different ways:

• get an extract from the Unified State Register of Real Estate - the downside is that the service will be paid and not fast. Even if you access the State Services website, you will have to wait at least three days;
• use a public service – cadastral map;
• contact EGRN.Reestr and get an extract quickly from 200 rubles.

The second and third options are most often used.

Public cadastral map. This service contains data on all real estate objects. To find the necessary information you need:

• go to the service website;
• find search function;
• Enter the cadastral number of the apartment.

Based on the selection results, the service will provide publicly available information, including the area of ​​housing.

On the website of the Unified State Register of Real Estate. Here you can get extended data on the housing you are interested in. To do this, you will need to fill in the address of the apartment you are interested in in the address bar.

Important! Until 2007, apartments were assigned conditional identification numbers, which are also stored in the Rosreest database. If such a number is known, you can use it when searching.

Why are not all real estate objects listed in the Rosreestr database?

The main reasons are related to the fact that the electronic database of Rosreestr appeared only in 1998.

• until 1998, records of land plots and buildings were kept in the BTI, and then the entire huge archive of documents was transferred to the Registration Chamber;
• information was entered manually from paper;
• not all real estate transactions between individuals began to be registered since 1998; some people, out of ignorance, still continue to enter into simple written agreements without registration;
• real estate transactions before 1998 are considered valid regardless of the fact of registration, but such objects may not be in the Rosreestr database.

As a result, many errors and gaps appeared, many of which exist to this day. It is not surprising that you can live in your house all your life, and then order an extract from the Unified State Register of Real Estate and see that this house does not exist in the Rosreestr database. Or be shocked that your home has an owner, and it’s not you.

What footage can be found at the address

When receiving information from official sources, you need to remember that the footage of the apartment in them is indicated by the area of ​​​​the capital construction project. In other words, this will be the total area of ​​the housing. The Housing Code includes in this concept all premises, both residential and non-residential. Only balconies, loggias and verandas are excluded.

The total area of ​​the apartment is the main technical parameter from which the cost of housing, the price of its maintenance, and the amount of tax payments are calculated. The buyer rarely needs the living space indicator, most often to determine the size of the rooms and understand the approximate layout. If you want to know the residential footage:

• you will have to submit a request to Rosreestr and pay for the ordered information:
• If you have a technical plan, independently calculate the size of the living quarters by measuring and scaling them.

Methods of searching for heirs

The heirs may theoretically not know that they are such. For example:

1. Potential heirs do not know what was indicated in the will. Then, after the death of a relative, within six months , all applicants can submit an application to a notary. He will identify the persons designated by the will, open the inheritance case, clarify everything about the amount due, and explain the rights and obligations.
2. Receivers are not notified that the person has died. Here, if there is a will, a notary can search for the heirs and send them a corresponding notification. After all, he will know that it is time to open a case, since he may receive a death notification. Next, they are given an appointment – ​​no later than 15 days after the death. There, applicants must present a letter from him with his signature.

What other data can be obtained by knowing the address of the apartment?

By determining the area of ​​an apartment by address using public services, you can obtain additional information about the property, which can significantly influence the decision to purchase it. These include:

• type of premises - residential or non-residential;
• cadastral value – the date of its determination and revision. If you wish, you can find out the tax amount immediately by following the link to the Federal Tax Service website;
• form of ownership of the apartment - municipal or private;
• imposed burdens and restrictions.

What to do if there is no house, apartment or land plot in Rosreestr

Regardless of why there is no house, apartment or land plot in Rosreestr, you cannot let things take their course. We need to act systematically and finish what we started.

So, what to do if your real estate is not included in the Unified State Register of Real Estate:

1. Raise all available documents and assess the situation.
2. If the property was privatized or obtained in another way before the introduction of Law No. 122-FZ in 1998, then obtain a certificate from the BTI about the status of the object.
3. Register property rights in Rosreestr, if necessary - through the court.

The problem can be considered resolved only when you receive an extract from the Unified State Register of Real Estate for your property with complete and reliable information:

• about the apartment itself, land, house, garage;
• about the owner of the property;
• on the basis for the acquisition of real estate.

Reasons for checking the availability of real estate owned by another person

All people are different. Some citizens do not want others to know what they own. Perhaps the person is closed by nature, only people who know him can understand what he is hiding. Based on personality characteristics, certain questions may arise from the heirs. Relatives may be trying to figure out what remains of their assets after a person's death. An example would be a situation where a man had two families. The second wife may try to hide from her husband's children the fortune she plans to receive. His sons from his first marriage tried to determine what their father had. Controversial issues arise especially often if there is no will. In this case, the notary is engaged in finding out what kind of property the person had. All information of this kind is considered confidential.

A citizen could take out a loan and not repay it. There are times when a debtor disappears. Creditors are trying to find out what is on him. If there is any property, then there is a chance to get your money through the court.

The reason for the check may be a situation where you are asked to borrow a large amount of money secured by property. If there are doubts about the reliability of the information, then there is a desire to personally look at the ownership documents.

Very often, during a divorce, one of the spouses tries to hide his secret property, which is supposed to be divided in half. The other half is interested in finding out what is being hidden from her or him.

Who has the right to make a request?

To find out what kind of property a person has, you can contact the Unified State Register of Rights (USRE). Anyone can make a request and receive information. You can come to the institution in person. It is also possible to send a request by mail or leave a message on the official website. You will need to pay a state fee. After this, you can become the owner of information about real estate that the citizen has. This check has its own nuances. The request is free.

The information obtained affects only the owner of a specific property, and not the entire property. The check is carried out at one address, the last name is not indicated.

Is it possible to search for a person's passport data by last name?

The reasons why you may urgently need your passport data can be very diverse. From a banal complaint to a store to employment. Let's consider how you can find out a person's passport data and whether this act is legal if the owner himself did not consent to the collection of such information.
