The expert named important factors when buying a country house

When choosing a country house, the first thing to do is to check ownership, the presence of all necessary permits, as well as extracts from the USRN, which will confirm that the house and land are registered correctly and without encumbrances. This was told to "Izvestia" on February 15, sales director of BN Group Victor Tumarkin.

"It is necessary to check communications - electricity, heating, water supply and sewerage, because their failure can be the source of many problems. Do not forget to assess the site on which the house is located: make sure that the access roads are in good condition, find out the level of floodability of the territory during rains or snow melt, and also assess the presence of developed infrastructure nearby and the possibility of rapid access of emergency services," he explained.

According to him, it is worth paying special attention to the quality of construction: the condition of the foundation, walls and roof for cracks, leaks and other defects. It is best to involve experts, professionally engaged in the acceptance of houses, who will be able to give an objective assessment of the technical condition.

It is also crucial to assess how long it will take to get there, both by car and by public transportation.

"In addition, pay attention to the neighbors. This point is important not only from the point of view of their decency and adequacy, but also from the legal side: make sure that with the previous owners there were no litigation or conflicts over the boundaries of the site, land cascading or other disputes. The environmental situation in the district is also important: check that there are no factories, landfills, major highways or other sources of pollution nearby," the expert added.

An important point is the status of the land: clarify whether it belongs to the category of individual residential construction or garden non-commercial partnership. On the lands of SNT propiska is possible only if the house is registered as residential in the USRN - this point should be clarified in advance.

"It is equally important to check the absence of debts for the house and the plot, as well as to make sure that all powers of attorney from the owners are authentic. The sale and purchase agreement should be drawn up correctly and legally flawless to minimize risks in the future, such as disputing the transaction. Do not be afraid to involve qualified professionals: lawyers and technical experts who are able to identify possible errors and help you make a confident choice when buying a house", - summarized Tumarkin.

Earlier, January 25, it was reported that in Russia increased the risk of a sharp rise in the cost of private homes due to the fact that to get approval for an application for a soft loan in some banks has become much more difficult. For some banks this is a forced measure, so they cover their risks when issuing soft loans. Because of this, there are risks of growth in the cost of construction and purchase of ready-made country houses by 6-15%.
