Uncoordinated repair work forre-planning of any residential premises threatens apartment owners with an administrative fine. According to the Code of Administrative Offenses, illegal re-planning leads to damage to residential buildings, communications, affect their operation. The size of the fine for natural persons depends on the territorial location of the house and is usually 2500 rubles. For legal entities, the fine for illegal re-planning will be greater. However, the Code does not set the size of fines depending on a particular case.

If the owner legalized the redevelopment byfiling a lawsuit, an administrative penalty still needs to be paid. Also, the requirements of the local administration to the apartment owner do not prohibit him from filing a return statement of claim to legitimize the work done.

Evil violations

Re-planning (illegal) threatens ownershousing not only by paying a fine. If the requirements of the housing inspectorate for the return of the old type of housing are ignored or the work was not completed within the prescribed time, such violations are considered malicious. At the same time, the Housing Inspectorate has the right to file a lawsuit against the owner of the apartment.

There are two possible variants of the development of events:

1. The apartment is sold at public auction. The owner is returned some of the proceeds, but deducts from them the costs of legal costs and other necessary expenses. The new owners of the apartment receive from the state requirements for the mandatory return of the external appearance of housing.
2. If the apartment is not privatized and wasreceived under a social security agreement with the local administration, the owners are evicted. In this case, material compensation is not provided. However, new owners will need to work on returning the appearance of the apartment, as in the previous case.

Difficulties in concluding transactions

Illegal redevelopment threatens owners notonly problems with the housing inspection, but also when concluding transactions with real estate. Conduct a deal at will and without extra time and money will not work. The sale of the apartment can be carried out, but the cost of such housing will be significantly understated. If the redevelopment is illegal, then no bank on any terms will give the buyers a housing loan for this apartment. That is, a mortgage sale is not possible.

But if the technical characteristics of the apartment werethe transaction on sale can be carried out. Potential buyers must be informed of all violations without fail, for which it is necessary to sign informative documents. At the same time, the new owner assumes responsibility for returning the appearance of the apartment, which inevitably leads to additional spending. The amount of discount for apartments with illegal re-planning depends on the nature of the changes, but usually it is 15-20%.

Often, the real estate market is sold housing,where an illegal redevelopment was carried out. What is it that threatens the owners? First of all, if this fact is revealed, the owners are obliged to pay an administrative fine and return the previous view of the apartment. If this has not been done, the apartment can be sold at public auction regardless of the opinion of its owner.
