How to legalize the connection of a balcony to an apartment: process, requirements and cost
The procedure for attaching a balcony to an apartment is not only complicated but also lengthy. This issue often remains on the margins of many owners’ attention, and only in special cases, such as a sale or mortgage, does it become relevant.
In such cases, it turns out that the lack of relevant documents can be a significant obstacle.
How to legalize the balcony extension?
So, if you’re faced with the need to legalize the addition of a balcony, here are a few steps to consider:
- Assessment of the balcony condition. Before starting any legalization procedures, it is important to assess whether any interventions are required in the balcony’s load-bearing structures. If only the metal-plastic windows are changed and the supporting structures are not affected, the process will be simplified.
- Technical inventory. Conducting a technical inventory is the first step towards legalizing the balcony connection. Then, you need to order a new technical passport and make changes to the register of real rights to real estate.
- Obtaining permits. If any changes are to be made to the supporting structures, a construction permit must be obtained. Upon completion of the work, the facility must be put into operation.
- Approval of changes with condominiums and local authorities. In cases where the changes affect the facade of the building, it is necessary to coordinate them with the condominium or local authorities. It is important to note that the cost of legalizing the addition of a balcony may vary depending on the duration of the process, the cost of the necessary permits, and the scope of construction work.
