Buying a home is a very important step. Before signing a sales contract, you need to make sure not only of the reliability of the purchase itself, but also of the legal guarantees of the transaction.
Necessary
- - contract of sale;
- - certificates of the absence of an arrest for a house and a debt attributed to him;
- - certificate of ownership;
- - documents confirming the presence or absence of children or incapacitated persons with a residence permit in the house;
- - act of handover and reception at home.
Instructions
Step 1
If the contract is not drawn up correctly, you risk being left with nothing, while spending an impressive amount of money. When buying a house, be sure to make sure of the legal rights of its owner, check its certificate of ownership. Also ask to show you a certificate of absence of arrests and tax arrears.
Step 2
Also, ask if minor children and disabled citizens are registered in the house, and if they exist, ask for permission for the transaction of the guardianship authorities and deregistration of such family members. Otherwise, the contract may be invalidated.
Step 3
Draw up a contract for the purchase of a house in writing and have it certified by a notary. Although notarization of the contract is not a prerequisite for buying a house, it serves as an additional guarantee of its legality.
Step 4
When concluding the purchase and sale agreement, indicate the actual amount of the transaction. Of course, lowering the price will reduce the amount of tax you pay, but when you return money as a result of termination of the transaction, you risk getting the amount that was specified in the contract, and not actually paid.
Step 5
Finally, take over the house according to the acceptance certificate. At the same time, check if the data of the apartment or house, which are indicated in the contract, match the real ones. If this is not the case, do not sign the act, otherwise you will have to prove the fact of deception in court, and it will be quite difficult to do this.
Step 6
At the slightest discrepancy between the terms of the contract and the real state of the house, ask the seller to eliminate the identified deficiencies. You can draw up an additional agreement, where you indicate all the defects in the house and determine how much its value is reduced as a result of such shortcomings.
Step 7
After completing the transaction, rewrite the house in your name in the Unified Register of Rights to Real Estate and Transactions with it and receive a certificate of ownership.
