Buy an apartment and not lose money: why is self-verification of documents a risk?

The secondary real estate market is full of pitfalls. One wrong step - and the long-awaited acquisition may result in litigation or a complete loss of funds. We decided to ask a professional: how to secure a deal? The questions are answered by Daria Maralina, a lawyer and current attorney at the Maralin Luxury real estate agency. "There are many tips on the Internet on how to check an apartment yourself. But few people tell us that even seemingly flawless papers can be a trap. People don't know where to look and miss critical details," explains Daria. Independent checklist: what fans are looking at If you decide to act without a lawyer, the standard instructions tell you to request an impressive package of documents from the seller.: - Passport (reconciliation by Public Services and Rosreestr); - Title documents (contracts of sale, donation, inheritance); - A recent extract from the Unified State Register of Legal Entities (to check if there are any arrests, mortgages or minor owners); - Permission of guardianship (if there are children who own); - Notarized consent of the spouse; - A certificate of registered persons. It would seem that everything is simple. But even after collecting all these references, the average buyer sees only the "tip of the iceberg." Hidden threats: What remains behind the scenes In addition to the obvious paperwork, there are nuances that only an experienced lawyer or lawyer can track down. For example: - Maternity capital. If the apartment is purchased using it, children are required to allocate shares. If this is not done, the transaction may be declared invalid. It is impossible to check this "by eye", you need to make legal inquiries. - Legal risks. The seller may be a debtor or bankrupt. Even if there is nothing in the FSSP database, this is not a guarantee of cleanliness. - The seller's legal capacity. You can ask for information from dispensaries, but only a specialist can assess the risks of a subsequent dispute with relatives who claim that their "dad was not himself."
