We buy an apartment, avoiding problems

26

Have you decided to buy real estate, in particular, an apartment? Then you should know that even the most faithfully drawn up purchase and sale agreement cannot guarantee you the absence of problems, if of course you are not buying new housing from the developer https://www.izakayasushilounge.com. The fact is that you can expect a lot of different nuances that can overshadow the joy of a perfect purchase.

And we will talk about what nuances we are talking about below.

So, for example, you run the risk of buying an apartment with a significant amount of rent arrears, and you may not find out about it because the Registration Services do not require any certificates about the absence of utility bill arrears at the moment. But the debt itself can be quite impressive.

But this is even worse, worse, when you buy an apartment together "with tenants" who were registered in it earlier, and they may appear at the moment when you do not expect it at all. The fact is that it is not always possible to identify those who are registered in the apartment, but do not live in it. This may be someone who was registered at this address, but was against the sale and his eviction from the apartment. Also, these may be people who, according to the court's decision, are serving a sentence, as they say, "in places not so remote." As a rule, problems of this kind arise a month after the transaction is completed. Yes, today the new owners have the right to write off "extra" strangers, having done it in a court order, but there is only one nuance here, because the court can grant a postponement, which can be up to an hour. But do you need it?





Another unpleasant point is that there is a risk of buying an apartment from one of the divorced spouses. But the point is that according to the law, as is known, the property acquired during marriage, unless otherwise stipulated by the marriage contract, belongs to both spouses in equal shares. And if one of them decides to sell the joint property, then he must obtain consent to the transaction from his second half, even if it is a former one. And even if one of the spouses did not live in the apartment, nevertheless, he does not refuse his fate. But if the second one does not intend to share, then he comes up with a ruse to deceive not only the ex-spouse, but also the buyer of the apartment. So, for example, a swindler seller seems to "lose" his passport, and the new one will no longer have a note about the defect or its cancellation, which allows him to draw up a sales contract as a sole owner of a residential area. And as soon as the former second half finds out about the sale of the apartment, then an application to the court follows, which necessarily declares the completed transaction invalid, since the property that was jointly acquired was sold. And in the end, you will have to share, it would seem, already your home, with a person who has a full right to his half.

If the apartment is sold not by its owner, but by another person, carrying out the transaction on the basis of a general power of attorney issued in his name, then this fact should also be alarming, because this is often how fraudsters act. Moreover, their task is not only to deceive the buyer, but the owner of the apartment, its legitimate seller, is attacked first of all. After all, after the sale of his property, no one is going to give him money. Moreover, you risk buying an apartment under a power of attorney issued by a person who has passed away, which means that such a power of attorney cannot be valid.

The purchase of an apartment, which was inherited by its current owner, is not without pitfalls. Not only that, the heir can apply for it only after the expiration of six months after the death of the testator, which means that he will not be able to sell the apartment before this period. Also, there is a possibility that somewhere there are the same heirs who, for one reason or another, currently do not have the opportunity to assert their rights. But as soon as they have such an opportunity, they will need their fate.

But a separate group of sellers-owners of real estate is made up of people suffering from mental illnesses, the mentally ill. So, if you are given only one certificate from a psychoneurological dispensary that the person is not registered there. The fact is that even if such a certificate is available, after the transaction is completed, close relatives of the seller may appear and claim that the transaction was made by a psychologically unhealthy person. And in confirmation of their words, they put the seller in the appropriate hospital for examination, where he can be diagnosed as mentally ill. So, the certificate provided to you is only confirmation that the person is not registered, but it is absolutely not proof of his mental health. And such a scam can be detected by swindlers, and subsequently the transaction will be canceled on the basis of a second certificate, which will be a confirmation of the insanity of the seller's actions. The optimal option will be when the person provides you with an act confirming his sanity, signed by a medical board. It is this document that can prove your rightness if you buy an apartment from a person who is very elderly or suffering from alcohol (drug) addiction.

Good luck with your purchase and clean transaction!
