Buying your dream home can cost you a fortune, so many investors give up on their ideal and settle for something less, not as great, but still theirs. A common sense approach to assessing your financial capabilities is commendable, but we believe that saving should not ruin your plans. You don't have to buy a palace to live in it. Ingenuity, imagination and desire will allow you to make real candy even from a small cottage.
Redevelopment - this is the salvation of investors with a limited budget. We leave it entirely to your discretion which walls to destroy and which to build. Everyone has their own taste, so when it comes to repairs, you can easily do without other people’s advice. But with the registration and legitimization of the result of your actions, everything will not be so simple. We will tell you how to get rid of the undesirable consequences of redevelopment and how to arrange it correctly. Of course, you yourself are the master of your own home, but only as long as your possessions do not go beyond clearly defined boundaries.
Redevelopment: with a simple movement of your hand, your home turns into...
Redevelopment and reconstruction - if you consider these terms synonymous, problems begin already at the stage of getting to know the topic... As is the case with apartment, redevelopment in the house refers only to small modifications that do not affect the load-bearing walls. Also, such work does not go beyond the fencing structures; expansion of existing buildings and the appearance of new ones are not provided. You can safely call it a redevelopment:
- insulation and soundproofing of walls;
- construction of auxiliary partitions for zoning premises;
- creating additional doorways or arches in walls that are not load-bearing;
- combining several rooms into one (transforming a toilet and bathroom into a single space, combining a kitchen with a living room, etc.);
- construction of non-capital or temporary facilities, such as a gazebo, outdoor shower, simple garage or shed without a foundation.
Unlike reconstruction, the purpose of which is more global work affecting load-bearing walls, all of the listed modifications and improvements to your property do not require special permits, but still require subsequent legalization.
😉👉 In order not to confuse redevelopment with reconstruction, we advise you to read Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers No. 406dated 06/07/2017 “On approval of the list of construction works that do not require documents giving the right to perform them, and after completion of which the object is not subject to commissioning.” It contains a complete list of construction work related to redevelopment.
How to legalize redevelopment and whether it needs to be done
Let's remember what real estate transactions we know:
- purchase;
- sale;
- rent;
- inheritance;
- donation;
- re-registration;
- mena.
You will be surprised, but in all these cases, illegal redevelopment will stand as a bone in your throat. You won't be able to get rid of your property, no matter how much you want to. During construction work, the living or total area of the building may change, so the characteristics of your property will no longer coincide with the data in official documents.
“What a nightmare! What to do?" - you ask and you will do the right thing. You need to strike while the iron is hot and complete the paperwork before it’s too late. It’s worth starting this after all the work has been completed, in order to take into account all the innovations in the appearance of your home. If the work did not affect the area, you can leave everything as it is and live in peace. You just need to get a new technical passport. If the entire area, as well as the ratio between the total and living areas, has changed, you need to act according to the following algorithm:
- issue a new registration certificate;
- contact the state registrar with the received document and property rights to make the appropriate changes to State Register of property rights for real estate;
- receive an extract from the State Register with updated data.
To legalize the redevelopment, you will need a standard set of documents, including a passport and code, documents on ownership of the plot and house, an old technical passport, if you had one. Please note that in order to carry out repair and construction work and prepare documentation, it is necessary to obtain the consent of all co-owners.
Issue price
The cost of dealing with all the paperwork can vary depending on several factors. The final amount is affected by:
- location (Kyiv or region);
- availability of technical documentation;
- area of the house and plot;
- nature of redevelopment;
- compliance of the work performed with the current building codes.
If your house is located in Kyiv, the cost of redevelopment will start from 14,000 UAH. If we are talking about an object in Kyiv region, the price tag is slightly reduced - from 12,000 UAH. The standard procedure takes on average about 14 days.
