Checking apartment documents. 6 documents that should be required before buying real estate

Buying real estate in a new building is always a complex process that requires care and attention. One of the most important stages of this process is checking the documents that confirm the legality and security of your future property.

However, if you do not want to involve additional specialists and spend money on legal services, it is important to know what documents you should pay attention to on your own.

What documents do I need to check?

Here are six key documents you should check before signing a real estate sale and purchase agreement:

1. Documents on the ownership or use of the land plot by the construction customer. One of the first steps is to check the documents confirming the construction client’s right to the land plot on which the construction is located. It is important to make sure that the land has the appropriate category and intended purpose for the construction of a residential facility.
2. Town-planning conditions and restrictions. Another important document is the town-planning conditions and restrictions, which are established by local authorities. These documents indicate the rules and restrictions on building in a certain area, and may also contain important information on the planning and zoning of the area.
3. Technical conditions for connection of communications. Equally important is the availability and compliance of technical conditions for the connection of communications, such as water supply, sewerage, gas and electricity. Checking these documents will help avoid future problems with communications in your new home.
4. Construction project. One of the key documents is the construction project. It is important to read the explanatory note to the project to make sure the information is consistent with other documents, such as the name of the customer, address and construction area.
5. Expertise for a property of consequence class CC2/CC3. If the property falls within the CC2/CC3 consequence class, be sure to check the availability and compliance of the construction expertise. This is an important step to ensure that the construction is safe and complies with safety standards and requirements.
6. Building Permit. Finally, check for the existence of a building permit. This document confirms the legality and legality of the construction of the property.
