Documents for an apartment serve as proof that a citizen / several people or an organization are the owners of this premises. This is the basis of any, including rent, donation and receipt by will. Using them, the state protects the rights of its citizens and fights real estate fraud.

Title documents for the apartment

All documents for an apartment can be conditionally divided into title-establishing and title-confirming. Title documents show how the owner got the right to the property. They are saved at home with the owner of the apartment.

They must contain the following data: a description of the apartment, information about the owner, an indication of the type of right to the apartment, as well as signatures, seals and notarization, if necessary. These documents include:

1. exchange agreement;
2. certificate of inheritance;
3. share agreement;
4. lease agreement;
5. certificate of privatization;
6. certificate of payment of a share in the cooperative in full;

The purchase and sale is made between the person who is the owner of the apartment and the person who wants the ownership of this apartment to pass to him. The seller gives the property and the right to it, the buyer - money, the amount of which the parties agree in advance.

An exchange agreement implies that both parties own some kind of real estate object, more often an apartment, and they want to exchange these objects. In the event of a large difference between the condition or value of these two apartments, a surcharge will be charged to compensate for this difference.

A notary public issues a document on obtaining the right to inherit. It indicates who, after whose death and on what basis became the heir of the deceased owner. A share agreement is concluded between a developer engaged in the construction of a residential building and a shareholder who invests money in construction work. Upon completion of construction, he receives an apartment in return.

A donation is a voluntary transfer of property to any person of the donor's choice. Two features of donation: gratuitousness and the absence of any conditions. The donation agreement can be canceled if it has not yet entered into force, or terminated when there are serious grounds for this listed in the law (threats against the donor and an attempt on his life, abruptly changed circumstances of the donor's life, etc.).

Rent implies an agreement between a person in need of constant care and a citizen or organization willing to provide him with proper care in exchange for an apartment. The right to an apartment is transferred only after the death of such a person. During his life, he can at any time.

The privatization document is issued by local governments. This document confirms the tenant's rights to an apartment that was once given to him free of charge from the state housing stock. The certificate of payment for the share shows that the citizen has fulfilled all his monetary obligations to the housing cooperative and thus acquired the right to an apartment. This document is issued if payment has been made in full.

The court decision serves as a title document if the right to a dispute is disputed by several applicants and the case has to be referred to the court. This happens in divorce proceedings, the absence of a will, and in other similar cases.

Cadastral passport and related documentation

Certificate of Inheritance

In addition to the fact that the right of a person or organization to an apartment has been established, it must also be confirmed. To do this, the owner applies with one of the above documents to the Rosreestr of the Russian Federation.

There, registration of the right to own real estate is carried out on the basis of a title document. A detailed description of the property is given in issued by the cadastral chamber. Without this document, it is impossible to execute any transaction with an apartment.

In addition, documents are submitted that in themselves are not directly related to the ownership of the apartment, but are required to enter the necessary data in the registration document. The list of such documents includes:

1. (for citizens);
2. a copy of the charter and a power of attorney for a representative (for organizations);
3. Receipt of payment ;
4. documents containing information about the encumbrance of the apartment (mortgages, etc.) and the seizure of property;
5. certificates of no debt for electricity, gas, water, electricity, telephone (depending on what is available in the apartment) and for the services of the housing office;
6. special permits when minors and incapacitated persons are registered in the apartment;
7. an application to register the transfer of ownership by one person to another.

Replacing the certificate of state registration with an extract from the USRR

Previously, Rosreestr, on the basis of the package of documents described above, issued a certificate of ownership on paper. From July 15 of this year, in accordance with Federal Law-360, the Registration Chamber began to issue electronic extracts from the USRR, replacing the previous certificates. The same documents are submitted for the same purpose - for an apartment. Extracts from the USRR are also called title confirmations, since they confirm the owner's right to property and contain the date and registration number of the right.

Compared to the certificate, the extract contains more complete and newer information. It is provided free of charge, since its cost is already included in the amount (2 thousand rubles and 22 thousand rubles for citizens and enterprises, respectively). It stays up to date for a month.

If after this period this extract is required to complete any transaction with an apartment, then it is ordered again for a moderate fee (200 rubles for individuals and 600 for legal entities).

Constant updating of information is a great advantage, allowing you to avoid many fraudulent schemes for the sale of apartments.

Benefits of introducing an extract

Cadastral passport as one of the main documents

It takes five to ten days to prepare an extract from the USRR. It is provided in electronic form (to the specified email address) or printed on plain paper without a special form. This document does not require protection, since it can always be checked against the electronic database of Rosreestr.

The state registration authority has taken care of another service - an additional extract, which can be obtained by any citizen in any locality in Russia. Compared to a title, or certifying, extract, it contains less data (title documents are not indicated) and is intended to check the apartment at the time of any. An additional extract can be obtained about any apartment, regardless of whether the applicant has anything to do with it.

From June 1 last year, the Registration Chamber began to accept documentation for registering the transfer of ownership to another person in electronic form. The electronic version of the extract is a logical continuation of this innovation. Also next year, it is planned to provide customers with the opportunity to register rights to real estate without reference to the region where it is located. To use the new services, you only need to acquire a qualified electronic signature.

These innovations raise doubts and fears among the population of the country, especially older people. However, unified databases and electronic filing of documents have been widely used throughout the world for several years, greatly simplifying and reducing the cost of the work of government agencies.

So, speaking about how the documents for an apartment look like, we should mention the title document, and an extract from the Unified State Register in electronic or paper form. The first two documents are in the hands of the owner, the latter is ordered from Rosreestr as needed.

Opinion of a legal expert:

The changes in the procedure for registering real estate listed in the article greatly simplify the life of our citizens. In addition, there was an additional protection of citizens from fraudsters. Although, as long-term practice shows, there has never been 100% protection from fraudsters. Has the most reliable castle ever been an obstacle for the “terry safe-bear”? No, it wasn't, and it won't be. But, nevertheless, loopholes became much less.

The article draws attention to the fact that people are wary of all innovations. This is especially true for older citizens. You don't have to worry too much. When planning the purchase of housing, now you can find out first-hand detailed information about the apartment (house). You do not need to get permission or run somewhere to do this. All information is available right at home, via the Internet in an extract from the USRR. An abbreviated version of the extract can be ordered by any citizen for any apartment. Very comfortably.

It is good that now there is also a cadastral passport. And before the certificate of ownership of the apartment was valid only on the day of its issuance. In the transaction, all the same, ownership had to be confirmed. But, we should draw the attention of our readers, that with all the conveniences with the execution of real estate transactions, do not neglect the help of qualified professionals whom you trust.

What is a title deed for an apartment? What documents are required for the sale of a property?

2017-04-01T10:31:02+03:00

Registration of ownership of an apartment is a very troublesome procedure that every owner faces when purchasing a home, it consists of several stages. First you need to collect documents.

Registration of ownership of an apartment is a rather difficult procedure that every owner faces when purchasing a home. It is necessary to thoroughly study the legal side of the issue, which will speed up the process of registering residential property. To register an apartment as a property, you must first register it. Responsibilities for issuing a document confirming the ownership of housing are assigned to the Registration Chamber and its territorial offices.

Documents for registration of ownership of the apartment

Important

Many applicants are interested in the question of how to register an apartment as a property? According to the legislation of the Russian Federation, all procedures for real estate transactions, the purpose of which is further ownership, must undergo state registration.

After the registrar has accepted the documents from the person, the second copy and all copies are subject to endorsement. The procedure for accepting papers for registration ends here and the second stage begins - waiting. Legislation regulates the duration of entry into ownership of an apartment from the date of receipt of the application until the moment the applicant receives a registration certificate. The entire registration procedure should not exceed 90 days.

In the event that the registration specialist detects inaccuracies in papers, errors in documents or doubts their authenticity, the registration process is delayed until the inaccuracies are eliminated. If the documentation does not comply with legislative acts, violates them, contradicts them, the registration department may suspend the process of accepting papers or refuse it completely. As practice shows, refusals are rare, controversial remarks, inaccuracies are correctly eliminated, and registration is resumed within a few days.

State duty for registration of ownership of an apartment

The size of the state duty when registering a property depends on the category of the person registering the property. In 2019, the amount of the state duty remained the same and amounts to 2,000 rubles for legal entities.

Also, the legislation approved a list of persons who are granted benefits. The category of citizens exempted from payment of state duty includes:

To confirm belonging to one of the groups and granting benefits, it is necessary, when submitting an application, along with a package of registration documents, to present a document giving the right to benefits (certificate, certificate, order). Registration of ownership of the acquired apartment to beneficiaries occurs on a general basis in the same manner as for ordinary citizens.

It is difficult to name the total cost of registering a property, since the registration procedure requires a lot of certificates, the prices for which vary and depend on the type, availability of forms, and the urgency of issuance. If the future owner connects a notary or a lawyer to the process of registering the property, the total cost of services increases several times.

Registration of an apartment in a new building

The first thing to do when designing a living space in a new building is to collect and carefully check the composition of the documentation. Legal cleanliness and completeness of paperwork significantly speed up the procedure for registering housing.

Registration of legal ownership in a new building can be carried out independently, or you can entrust the representative of the developer or a notary. Then, in addition to the main documents, the representative of the developer must provide the following papers to the registration office:

• act of implementation of investment obligations under the construction contract;
• act of acceptance of the property;
• copies of acts on the commissioning of the building to be built;
• copies of documents on the acceptance of a residential building by a special commission.

Documentation should be carefully checked for authenticity when provided. Misprints, blots, corrections, strikethroughs, damages, additions, lack of issuance dates, expiration dates, signatures, seals are not allowed in the papers. Any document should be meaningful, readable, easy to interpret.

If the representative of the developer refuses to provide documents or does not properly fulfill contractual obligations, the future owner has the right to go to court to resolve a number of issues.

If the developer has properly executed documents, the procedure for registering housing is carried out according to the scheme indicated above. Papers are submitted to the nearest MFC, where the registration of ownership of the apartment is carried out.

Registration of ownership of donated housing

Taking ownership upon inheritance of residential property

Upon receipt of an apartment, it is possible to enter into ownership only six months after the death of the testator. Initially, the documents are submitted to the notary for examination. He sets the number of heirs, starts a business, is engaged in the execution of the Certificate of inheritance. After completing all notarial procedures, you can apply to the MFC with an application for registration of the acquired property.

Until the right of ownership to the inherited apartment is formalized, it is impossible to sell, donate, rent out inherited real estate.

In order to quickly register the ownership of an apartment in the MFC, the necessary documents must be properly executed. The standard papers provided at the MFC are:

In addition to the situations considered, there are other moments when a procedure for confirming the ownership of residential real estate is necessary. Registration of housing will be required when:

• purchase and sale of housing;
• completion of construction work;
• redevelopment of an apartment / house.

In each specific case, the list of papers is somewhat different, however, the number of original copies submitted for state registration remains unchanged. Do not forget that one original copy must be in Rosreestr, so you should take care of an extra copy of the original in advance.

The duration of the verification of the authenticity of documents, registration and issuance of a certificate takes an average of 10 days.

The procedure for registering mortgaged real estate is the same as when buying. The difference is only in the encumbrances imposed on housing. Until the loan debt is repaid, the owner cannot fully dispose of the purchased apartment, because according to the contract, it has some restrictions.

Also, some actions during the registration of ownership (for example, subsequent sale, lease) may require the permission of the pledgee. In this case, a mortgage with all attachments and an application form for the desire to register should be added to the standard documents.

Changes in the certificate of ownership of housing

Until 2015, the certificate of acquired property was part of the documentation subject to strict controlled reporting. It contained several levels of protection, a hologram, an account number and a registration series. The form of the form changed somewhat at the beginning of 2016, so we recommend that you familiarize yourself with the sample document on the website of the Registration Chamber of the Russian Federation. Since 2016, the protection requirements for the Certificate of Registration of Residential Property have been removed, so the document can be printed on a standard white A4 paper.

The document is mandatory entered into the register of regional management bodies of the FS, cadastre and cartography with the appropriate registration number, which corresponds to the number of legal registration, and is endorsed by the registrar. Some changes have been made to the document. So the series and registration number are placed on the reverse side of the Certificate, passport data are not entered at all. It is enough to indicate the date of birth of the applicant, the place of his birth and the insurance number of the personal account.

In addition, future owners have the opportunity to receive the Certificate online. Now exists. Such a document contains an electronic seal of the registration authority and a facsimile of the registrar. After the completion of the registration procedure, the Certificate is sent to the owner by e-mail.

It is useful to know, and what are the subtleties of this procedure?

From July 15, 2016, extracts from the register began to be issued to property owners as the main document

The work of the Federal Registration Service (Photo: Viktor Bartenev / TASS / Interpress)

Russians will no longer receive a certificate of ownership of housing: on July 15, a law came into force that cancels the issuance of such a document. Instead of a certificate, property owners will be issued an extract from the Unified State Register of Rights (EGRP) - a paper that describes who exactly owns the object. Already issued certificates of ownership remain legally valid, but, in fact, become useless: this document is not required for housing transactions, Rosreestr told RBC-Nedvizhimost.

The changes will not lead to chaos in the housing market, since the request for an extract from the USRR has previously been a common stage in an exchange or sale transaction, Nadezhda Averina, head of the registration department at the NDV-Nedvizhimost real estate agency, is convinced. “Another thing is that homeowners will need time to psychologically get used to the innovation,” Averina specified. - At one time, they were distrustful of simple forms of certificates, and now instead of them an extract from the USRR is issued. It differs to some extent from the option by which information about the object or subject of real estate is ordered, however, all the information that would be printed on the certificate form is displayed here. There is no threat to respectable owners.”

Two documents - one title

The new extract from the USRR does not completely duplicate the old one, despite the fact that they are called the same. “It is important to distinguish between an extract certifying the registration of ownership of an object, and an extract that is additionally requested from Rosreestr when selling or buying an apartment to confirm the relevance of data about the object and the owner,” Rosreestr’s press service told RBC-Nedvizhimost. — A certification statement is issued following the results of the procedure for registering rights to real estate. Such an extract is a document confirming that on the date of issue indicated in it, the right to a specific property was registered for a certain person, about which a registration entry under the corresponding number was made in the USRR on the corresponding day. The document can be obtained both in paper and electronic form.

Such an extract from the USRR will be free: the cost of the form is already included in the state fee for processing the transaction, explained in NDV-Real Estate. The form of the certificate of ownership was also automatically included in the state duty, and therefore the cost of the state service for registering a transaction from July 15 will not change, Averina pointed out. “Before the changes in the legislation came into force, the applicant could choose: when registering the right of ownership, receive a certificate of registration of property or an extract from the USRR. From July 15, 2016, this can only be an extract from the Unified State Register of Real Estate, ”the Rosreestr concluded.

The old format of extracts is also preserved: in contrast to the “certifying” one, Rosreestr calls it “additional”. “An additional extract from the USRR, which is relevant on the date of the request, can be obtained anywhere in Russia, regardless of the location of the property. Such an extract from the USRR is provided with a passport to absolutely any person. Such a certificate will contain the name of the owner, address, description of the property, information about the type of registered right, the date and number of its registration, as well as its encumbrances: whether there is a mortgage, arrest and similar information, but information about the documents on the basis of which these rights are registered, ”says the comments that Rosreestr prepared at the request of RBC Real Estate.

Unlike certifying, an additional statement is issued for money. The cost of a paper version upon personal contact with Rosreestr is 200 rubles, a document in electronic form can be ordered for 150 rubles. In the case of a request from another region, the cost rises to 300 rubles, said the legal adviser of the real estate agency Inkom-Nedvizhimost, Maria Koroleva.

All extracts from the USRR are termless, the law says. However, this does not mean that a person will be able to use the same statement in all situations, according to realtors. “The information indicated in the extract is considered by various authorities as relevant within a month from the date of issue,” the Queen explained. “At the same time, the certificate of ownership also did not have an expiration date and displayed information on the date indicated in it.” “To obtain up-to-date information, it is better to request an additional extract from the USRR, the information of which is valid on the date of the request,” Rosreestr warned.

Who really needs extracts

Despite the replacement of certificates with extracts, the process of registering real estate transactions will not change, according to Rosreestr. The agency did not require either a certificate or an extract before, since Rosreestr independently maintains the Unified State Register of rights to real estate and transactions with it. Extracts were requested by realtors and buyers of apartments to check the legal purity of the object: the document showed whether the apartment was mortgaged and whether it was under arrest. The extract will remain a "means of reassurance" in the future, since it is not a title, but a document of title, explained Marina Tolstik, managing partner of the real estate agency Miel-Network of Real Estate Offices. “The certificate only confirms that the owner owns the property. The basis for the emergence of rights are title documents. This is a contract of sale, a certificate of inheritance, a certificate from the housing cooperative, maybe a certificate of privatization, ”Tolstik listed.

The certificate of ownership was a secondary document, Alexander Bazykin, managing partner of the law firm Heads Consulting, confirmed. Documents of the first level are an agreement on participation in shared construction, a donation agreement, an act of a state authority on the provision of premises, a contract of sale and all other agreements, as a result of which a person has a right of ownership, Maria Koroleva pointed out. It is this document that remains the key for every owner in Russia - extracts and certificates at the same time turn out to be an optional element, the realtors concluded. “Even before, the owner was not required to provide the Rosreestr with a certificate for registering the transfer of rights if his right was registered with the USRR. During state registration, a legal examination of documents is carried out, which checks the absence of contradictions between the declared and already registered rights and the corresponding rights of the person who applied for registration, ”explained in Inkom-Nedvizhimost.

Thus, the extract remains a purely voluntary document. “Rosreestr does not plan to change the mode and procedure for the work of registrars, since in connection with the cancellation of certificates, nothing changes either in the procedure for registering property or in the actions of citizens in transactions in the real estate market. There was no regular request for statements and there is no need. This document is required in connection with a specific operation," Rosreestr said.

Does the new law protect against scammers?

The abolition of certificates of ownership increases the legal protection of owners when concluding transactions, lawyers from Nedelko and Partners and the Lyubertsy Bar Association told RBC-Nedvizhimost. “Now, right before the transaction, you can get up-to-date information about the owner of the property, eliminating double sales and the provision of fake or stolen certificates. The task was made more difficult for the criminals,” said Vera Efremova, a lawyer for the Lyubertsy Bar Association.

Fraudsters often took advantage of the fact that real estate buyers considered a certificate of ownership to be an exhaustive document that reflects all the information about a house or apartment, said Vasily Nedelko. “There is a scheme: a person buys a premises on the basis of a certificate of ownership, which does not reflect important information that is available in the register. For example, information about the encumbrance: let's say the purchased premises have a lease agreement for 49 years at a rate of 1 rub. for the entire premises per year,” the lawyer explained. “The extract from the Unified State Register contains much more significant information that will help prevent fraud.”

These arguments were not accepted by the law firm Heads Consulting. “In addition to the certificate of ownership, there is an entry in the USRR on registered rights, information on title documents, passports that are checked when documents are received from the applicant. It is impossible to commit fraudulent actions with real estate by forging only one certificate, says Alexander Bazykin. “Obtaining an extract from the USRR is the only check of the object before the deal.”

Cancellation of certificates and a full transition to electronic registry maintenance can attract cybercriminals and create new threats for property owners, Denis Makrushin, an anti-virus expert at Kaspersky Lab, warned. “Any new technology and the system that uses it not only opens up new opportunities for decent people, but also brings new threats - for example, new vulnerabilities that can be used to steal data from this system. [It] will certainly be worthy of attention from malefactors pursuing obvious goals: using technology flaws to steal valuable data and ultimately gain financial benefits, ”Makrushin said.

Selling an apartment on the Internet

Simultaneously with the departure from paper workflow in Russia, the registration of housing transactions is being transferred to electronic form without being tied to the place where the house or apartment is physically located. “You can register property rights from any region right now using the Internet. From June 1, 2015, Rosreestr began to accept documents for state registration of rights in electronic form throughout Russia, Rosreestr told RBC-Nedvizhimost. “After January 1, 2017, it will be possible to extraterritorially submit documents for state registration of rights during a personal visit to the office of the Federal Cadastral Chamber or a multifunctional center.”

The principle of extraterritoriality, which does not imply binding the seller and the buyer to the region in which the property is located, is not to everyone's liking. “The situation looks suspicious when a participant in a transaction permanently resides in one region, and the transfer of rights under the transaction is registered in another - many thousands of kilometers away,” says Marina Koroleva. Any person who has an enhanced qualified electronic signature can submit documents electronically. There are and will be scammers. They forge documents; it is possible that they will also forge an electronic digital signature or illegally obtain it from the owner. Suppose you find out that the transfer of rights is registered in your apartment against your will, and it is registered thousands of kilometers away from you. It is rather difficult to promptly take measures to suspend or terminate such registration.”

The owner's right to real estate must be registered by Rosreestr. But sometimes the legality of ownership is required to be documented.

Where can I get a certificate of ownership of an apartment in 2019? On January 1, 2017, a law providing for the creation of the Unified State Register of Real Estate came into force.

It includes information about registered property rights and cadastral registration data. But the change has given rise to many questions from property owners.

How is a certificate of registration of ownership of an apartment obtained in 2019 and where should I apply?

Basic moments

A certificate confirming the registered ownership of real estate has been issued by the registration authority since 01/31/1998.

Previously, transactions were registered at the BTI, which was confirmed by a registration record directly on the title document.

Until 01/01/2015, a certificate of ownership of an apartment was made on a valuable form. Rosreestr entered the necessary information into the Unified State Register of Rights and then produced a certificate.

The document contained the following information:

• date of issue of the certificate;
• title document serving as the basis for registration;
• personal information about the copyright holder (full name, date and place of birth, citizenship, SNILS);
• type of law;
• apartments;
• address of the apartment and technical characteristics;
• and restrictions;
• number of the entry in the USRR and the date of entry.

From 01/01/2015, the certificate began to be produced on a regular sheet of A4 format. The signature of the registrar and the seal of the Office of the Federal State Registration Service acted as an assurance.

In 2019, the issuance of certificates of ownership ceased altogether. The certificate of ownership of the apartment was canceled, and in return, an extract from the USRR was provided.

What it is

From August 15, 2016, the state registration of the emergence and transfer of real estate rights began to be confirmed by an extract from the USRR.

How have the legal consequences of such changes changed? This is a document certifying the state registration of property rights.

It confirms the very fact of the registration procedure and the presence of an entry in the state register. In comparison with the previously issued certificate, the content of the extract from the USRR was similar.

In fact, nothing has changed for the owners. An entry in the USRR has previously been recognized as the only evidence of the existence of a right.

The abolition of the certificate led to the fact that during the time of ownership there were various changes regarding.

In particular, encumbrances and restrictions could arise. In the registry, the change was recorded, but in the certificate the information remained the same.

For this reason, any evidence over time became irrelevant. You can get an extract from the USRR at any time when proof of ownership is required.

At the same time, it indicates the status of the right on the date of issue. In 2019, the extract from the USRR was replaced by an extract from the USRN.

Purpose of the document

On January 1, 2017, the Unified State Register of Real Estate merged with the State Property Cadastre (State Real Estate Cadastre), forming the Unified State Real Estate Register (EGRN).

For this reason, a three-page extract from the USRR contains not only the data indicated earlier in the certificate and extract from the USRR, but also.

An extract from the USRN on the main characteristics and registered rights to the property has become the main and only evidence of the registered ownership of the apartment.

But besides this, other forms of extract are also approved. An extract from the USRN on the rights of an individual is issued only at the request of the owner and is used as a document of title.

An extract of a general nature with information about the right of ownership and can be requested by any citizen.

The main purpose of approving an extract from the USRN is positioned as a combination of cadastral registration data and information on real estate rights.

Although the register and rights and the state cadastre were previously maintained by one body represented by Rosreestr, the information often differed due to untimely synchronization.

Consolidation of information bases allowed to eliminate this shortcoming. For citizens, the introduction of an extract from the USRN has also become a significant plus.

Owners can now register ownership and exercise at the same time.

From now on, it is easier for potential buyers to check real estate for “legal cleanliness”.
You can request an extract yourself or ask the owner to provide one.

Thanks to this, the number of fraudulent transactions in the real estate market has significantly decreased, when the apartment was sold by the owner, who has limited rights.

Cases of deliberate deceit, in which the buyer received an apartment with encumbrances, were also reduced to a minimum.

Legal regulations

In 2019, the ownership of an apartment is formalized in accordance with the law, which entered into force from the beginning of 2019. The new law retained the basic principle approved in 2019.

State registration of the right in the state register of real estate is still the only evidence of the existence of this right.

Previously issued certificates, both old and new, are no longer valid. An entry in the USRN on the right to real estate can only be challenged in court.

Registration is subject to:

• the emergence of property rights;
• transfer of rights as a result of transactions;
• termination of the right.

The property is registered in the USRN and as a confirmation of the right, the owner receives an extract.

This consists of two parts - a table with data on the property and rights to it and a graphical part containing cadastral registration information.

How to get a certificate of ownership of an apartment

The process of registration of property rights with the adoption of the new law has changed little. The procedure looks like this:

1. Prepare a package of documents.
2. Pay for registration rights.
3. Submit documents to the registration authority.
4. If necessary, submit additional documents.
5. At the appointed time, receive a document of ownership (extract from the USRN).

Thus, the only difficulty lies in the preparation of documents. In the absence of the necessary information, the registrar will refuse to register the ownership of the apartment.

But if the applicant believes that the refusal is unlawful, he can challenge it in court.

Required list of documents

Documents required for registration of ownership of an apartment include:

• or other document serving as the basis for obtaining the right by the owner;
• the applicant's passport in the original and a notarized copy;
• , filled out on a special form, from the future owner;
• statement from the previous owner (in case of transfer under the contract);
• act of acceptance and transfer of the apartment;
• from the BTI (explication and plan of the apartment);
• (application is not required, but recommended).

Additional documents may be required as necessary.

For example, when buying an apartment in a new building, documents from the developer may also be provided if the housing was purchased in a house under construction.

Upon receipt of an apartment by inheritance, a certificate of right to, issued by a notary, is submitted.

If a representative acts on behalf of the applicant, then a notary will be required.

If the right is issued to a minor, then he and the passport of the legal representative who acts as the applicant are submitted.

If the encumbrance is removed after, a certificate from the creditor on the absence of debt and a mortgage (if any) are provided.

To obtain the legal right to a cooperative apartment, the applicant submits a certificate of full payment of the share contribution, an order to move into the apartment, extracts from the minutes of the meeting of the members of the cooperative and directly the technical documentation for the object.

The package of documents for the apartment is prepared in two copies. One upon completion of registration is returned to the applicant, the second is stored in Rosreestr.

Where can I apply

Registration of an apartment in ownership in 2019 is carried out, as before, by the Federal Service for State Registration of Cadastre and Cartography.

Previously, one should have contacted the territorial office of Rosreestr at the location of the property. Since 2019, the submission of documents has become possible at any branch of the registrar.

When receiving documents, the responsible officer checks the documents, endorses copies, issues acceptance of papers and the registration process begins.

The applicant is assigned the date of the next application, when the registration is completed. But verification of documents at the time of admission does not exclude the possibility of identifying inaccuracies in the future.

In this case, registration is suspended until the required documents are provided by the applicant, to whom a corresponding notification is sent.

Through the MFC

Documents for registration of ownership of real estate can be submitted through the MFC.

This person acts as an intermediary between the applicant and Rosreestr. Due to this, the processing time is increased by two days.

But it must be taken into account that if earlier the MFC employees could refuse to accept documents due to the lack of the necessary papers, then since 2019 the only reason for the refusal is the lack of a passport.

If during the check of the Rosreestr it is found that the necessary information is missing, then the documents are returned to the MFC. The applicant is then notified of the delay.

After reporting the missing papers, the package of documents is again sent to Rosreestr. That is, if the applicant is inattentive, the registration period is significantly delayed.

Important! If the apartment is located in another cadastral district, then you can only contact Rosreestr.

At the same time, they must be certified by the EDS of the applicant and interested persons who signed paper documents or certified them.

As a result of registration, an electronic form of an extract from the Unified State Register of Real Estate on the main characteristics and registered ownership of the property with the registrar's EDS is sent to the applicant's address.

Other options

Among other options for registering the right to an apartment, it should be noted the possibility of submitting documents by a notary.

He has the right to submit certified paper documents or their electronic forms, certifying them with his signature.

Any notary can apply for registration of the right, and not just those who have certified the real estate transaction.

Submission of documents for registration by mail is allowed. A valuable letter is sent with a description of the attachment and a return receipt.

The signature of the applicant must be confirmed by a notary. The completed extract is sent by mail to the applicant's registration address.

If you need a duplicate

The issuance of certificates of state registration of rights has been terminated, as well as the provision of repeated documents and duplicates.

A citizen who wants to confirm his right must request an extract from the USRN. But it may turn out that the entry in the register was not made, and the issued extract will say “there is no information about the object”.

A similar situation arises if the ownership right was acquired before 1998 and has not changed since then.

The owner needs to confirm the existing right with something in order to register it with Rosreestr. Evidence becomes evidence.

Rosreestr can issue a copy of the certificate upon request, but only if registration was carried out by Rosreestr.

Otherwise, you should apply to the BTI or request an archival copy of the document from the Department of City Property. You can contact the archive through the MFC or the State Services.

Sample document

An extract from the USRN on the main characteristics and registered rights includes:

• characteristics of the object;
• registered type of right;
• information about the copyright holder;
• the presence of encumbrances and restrictions;
• data on legal claims and other requirements implemented through the court;
• cadastral data.

Deadlines

In our country, in order to carry out any official transaction with any real estate, it is necessary to provide mandatory documents that are designed to confirm the right to own this property.

As a rule, most often such documents are required when selling an apartment, as well as when donating it, registering a residence permit or temporary registration. Moreover, in different cases, documents evidencing the ownership of an apartment may look completely different.

Thus, a certificate of right to an apartment, regarding a similar contract for any office space, radically different. Naturally, collecting the necessary list of all certificates, documents and contracts for a workroom is a more difficult task than for a certificate of ownership in the case of an apartment.

That is why any owner of an apartment, private house or other residential property must know what this certificate looks like. If you do not have a general idea about this document, or do not know how it looks, then it will be several times easier for any fraudster to pull off his scam. In order not to lose your property, you need to take the property right agreement seriously.

Documents to confirm ownership

The first factor that affects the final appearance of the certificate of ownership of the apartment is that How did the owner get it. This is not only the first, but also the main factor.

Accordingly, the most important document is a specific contract, which confirms the method of obtaining an apartment.

There are several different situations that determine how the certificate of ownership of the apartment will look like:

1. If the property was obtained in the process of privatization, then it is necessary to draw up a special agreement with the city/village/settlement that issued the house or apartment.
2. If the apartment was received in the most common and standard way, namely through the purchase or exchange, then a contract of sale is drawn up with a notary.
3. In the event that the apartment was received as a gift, as well as received as an inheritance and similar situations, you will have to contact a highly qualified state lawyer who has the right to draw up such contracts and documents.

The second most important document is a certificate of ownership. You can only get it in the State Administration of Rosreestr, which can be found in any city in the country. Such a certificate is issued exclusively with the coat of arms of the Russian Federation, as well as embossing.

In order to draw up a document of sale, donation, inheritance of an apartment, you may also need a technical passport of the apartment from which the operation is performed. This document looks like a drawing of a building plan, as well as all the necessary information.

Verification of documents for an apartment for authenticity

Unfortunately, scammers exist and continue to exist since ancient times. Therefore, it is very important to take the purchase of an apartment seriously. It is necessary to make sure that the documents for the property are genuine, and also confirm the “cleanliness” of the property. That is, it was not burdened with any taxes, debts, and so on.

Before signing an agreement on the transfer of real estate, a person who accepts an apartment in his ownership has every right send a special request to the registration authorities of the country in order to verify the authenticity of all documents and the apartment itself.

If you carry out at least a superficial visual verification of the contract and documents for authenticity, you need to pay special attention to the date of registration of all certificates and contracts regarding this apartment, as well as the presence of all signatures and their transcripts. The agreement on the transfer of real estate should not contain any blots and corrections.

Appearance of the certificate of ownership

So, as we have already found out, in order to prove the ownership of any immovable object, it is necessary issue a special certificate. Only in the case of a certificate of ownership can a person own his property free of charge.

In order to quickly and effortlessly see a clear example of what this document looks like, on the Internet you can find many high-quality photos that show evidence.

This certificate has the following appearance:

So, from this we can conclude that it is very important to know exactly what the certificate looks like, which is created in order to confirm the right to property. If you do not have an approximate idea of ​​​​the visual design of this document, and also do not know the exact the order of its completion, then you can be too easy prey for scammers.
