Assignment of the right to claim. How is a debt assignment agreement concluded?

If you decide to sell or buy an apartment in a new building, then it is not enough to find a second interested person and. After all, you are essentially not selling or buying real estate, but only the right to claim a future apartment. Therefore, if you are planning to carry out an assignment under the DDU - this is what this process is called, it is best to first understand the intricacies of the legislation and the pitfalls. Which are expected during the transaction, both the buyer and the seller.

What is a DDU assignment?

Important! It should be borne in mind that:

  • Each case is unique and individual.
  • Careful study of the issue does not always guarantee a positive outcome of the case. It depends on many factors.

To get the most detailed advice on your issue, you just need to choose any of the proposed options:

Let's start with the main thing - by deciphering the terms and translating from legal language into understandable. And here is something to understand:

  • DDU is an equity participation agreement, the content of which is regulated by federal law No. 214 “On participation in shared construction apartment buildings and non-residential premises.
  • Assignment is the transfer of the right to claim an apartment to a new shareholder. Those. your status changes - you stop being an investor. The status of the buyer changes - he becomes the owner of the right to claim real estate in the form of a dwelling. And the system of your relations with the developer is changing
  • A developer or builder is a legal entity that assumes the right to collect money from equity holders for construction apartment building and undertakes to comply with all requirements of federal law. The developer, as well as the buyer and the seller, have their own rights - they can become a stumbling block in your relationship in the format of communication “assignment under the DDU”. But more on that below.

So, you need to conclude an agreement on the assignment of rights under the DDU - it is precisely such a confusing wording that will be more correct. Another legal name for such contracts is cession. Accordingly, the seller will be the assignor and the buyer will be the assignee. The developer always takes part in the assignment of rights under the DDU - as a third party with its own rights and opportunities. An assignment agreement can only be concluded before the housing is put into operation.

Through a pre-contract

There are two options for concluding an assignment agreement. One that is very dangerous for the buyer is a preliminary contract of sale. Despite the mass of minuses, it is not prohibited by the civil code.

The essence of the preliminary agreement is that you do not actually make an assignment of rights - you agree with the equity holder that he undertakes to conclude a contract of sale with you after the house is handed over and it enters into ownership. There are several disadvantages of such contractual relations:

  • There is no way for you to check the encumbrance of this right of claim - whether the future apartment is in a mortgage, or in a pledge for some other reason
  • You are entering into a contract for something that does not yet exist. In fact, you make a contract that someday there will be a contract
  • In case of problems with the developer, you cannot take advantage of measures to support equity holders - after all, in fact, the investor is still the person with whom you entered into an agreement. Although you have already transferred the money to him
  • There is no reason to believe that the seller in this situation will not conclude several such contracts and you will not be in line for this apartment

Do not enter into preliminary agreements for the assignment of rights of claim under the DDU. In fact, in this situation, you are not protected by anything.

According to DDU

There is an official way in which you interact with all possible parties in the cession process:

  • Rosreestr will control the assignment of DDU upon re-registration
  • Through the cession, the developer must necessarily give his consent to registration
  • The scheme of settlements with sellers is drawn up extremely transparently

Assignment under DDU is the only legal way to re-register the right to claim a future apartment, not to be left without money and to be protected by law. Of course, in this situation there are also disadvantages:

  • Quite a long process of registration of the contract itself
  • Developer participation, with some of the developers taking extra money
  • If a mortgage is issued, then the process is delayed - more on that below

Registration procedure

The assignment of an equity participation agreement in construction is a rather complicated process for an unprepared person. It consists of several stages:

Salesman Buyer
First of all, you need to obtain consent from the developer - without it, the transaction will be illegal. If the developer requires additional compensation from you for re-registration, bargain. According to the law, such actions of the developer are not illegal. It is easier for the buyer to prepare for the deal. It is necessary to check all the information so that in case of problems to appear before the court as a bona fide buyer
Get a certificate from the developer stating that the settlement under the contract has been completed in full and there are no debts. This happens both if you paid in cash and if you paid with a mortgage loan. If the buyer is married, then get the consent of the spouse and certify it with a notary
Contact Rosreestr and take a certificate in the USRR form - the procedure is paid, at the time of this writing, such a document costs 350 rubles Study and sign the contract of assignment of rights under the contract shared construction
If there is a spouse, issue a notarized consent to the transaction for the re-registration of real estate Register this agreement with the Rosreestr department or at multifunctional centers for providing public services
If a mortgage, then you will have to go to the bank and ask for a certificate of no debts and the consent of the bank After 10 days, receive a certificate from Rosreestr stating that the contract is registered and there are no problems with it (for details, see Rosreestr).

The assignment of an apartment under the DDU only seems quite simple. In fact, the buyer will have to check twice as much information as if he just bought the property from the developer. Let's look at the situation in more detail.

Peculiarities

You need to understand that the assignment under the DDU carries certain risks. The process is regulated by Chapter No. 24 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation - “Change of persons in obligation”. In particular, you need to know that it would be useful to register the contract with a notary - in case of fraud, this is unlikely to help you, but if there are problems with legal subtleties, then the notary will be able to suggest the best way out of the situation.

Registration

As a share agreement, the assignment agreement is registered in government bodies to check all documents and exclude the fact of double sales. You can do this either at the Rosreestr office, or at any multifunctional center for the provision of public services. You will need:

  • Contract between buyer, seller and developer
  • Certificates of the absence of encumbrances or a certificate of consent of the bank, if there is a mortgage
  • Equity agreement between the developer and the seller
  • Passports of the buyer and seller

Advantages and disadvantages

If you are purchasing an apartment through a receivable assignment, then you are faced with several pros and cons of such a relationship. Among the pluses - usually or the price is slightly lower, because the apartment of the contractor is being sold, with whom they paid for the work with real estate, and not with money. Or just the very existence of an apartment in a popular new building. But there are a lot of minuses - not only for the buyer, but even for the seller.

double sales

It is quite difficult to become a deceived shareholder in our time. Ten years ago, any means of deceiving gullible citizens was a double sale of real estate. The developer would take an apartment, sell it to a few people, and then disappear. As a result, the police and the courts considered a lot of claims for the same living space. With the advent of Rosreestr and the mandatory registration of transactions in it, it became easier. Double sales by the developer, if the DDU mechanism works, are practically excluded. Another thing is cession - here you are not insured against double sales if the seller decided to act on preliminary agreement purchase and sale.

Without developer

You buy an assignment under the DDU, registration is underway, but suddenly you receive a claim from the developer - he did not agree to the transaction and is against it. In this case, the developer has the right to challenge the transaction, so be sure to check whether there is consent to the assignment of the right to claim the apartment. It must be in paper form, with the signature of the director and the seal of the organization.

taxes

The assignment agreement in Russia is taxed. Therefore, if you sold the right to claim your apartment for more than you bought it from the developer, you will have to pay personal income tax.

  • For citizens of the country - 13%
  • For a foreigner - 30%

A participant in the DDU (Share Participation Agreement), who bought the premises from the developer at the initial stage of construction, has the right to sell it to another party until the building is put into operation. (read)

An agreement on the assignment of rights is signed between the buyer and the shareholder. The parties to the transaction notify the developer in writing of this intention, providing him with a copy of the contract. The construction company must give its consent.

The cession is regulated by federal law No. 214, Article 11.

Information to the buyer

When purchasing an apartment by assignment of rights, there are nuances:

  1. When registering, the type of the original contract is indicated - the basis for the transfer of rights.
  2. The document is credited with a fixed amount and the calculation procedure. Without this clause, the transaction can be considered illegal.
  3. Documents of the builder for the implementation of construction activities are checked.
  4. The assignment agreement is certified by a notary.
  5. The buyer notifies the developer about the transaction, whether this item is written in the document or not.

Grounds for concluding a contract

The grounds for signing the assignment document are regulated by Article 328, paragraph 1 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation. The right to property belonging to the shareholder (confirmed), according to the law, can be transferred to the other party under the concluded transaction.

Transfer is possible upon succession (inheritance) or reorganization of a legal entity, if the premises are owned by an organization.

The shareholder may assign the right to claim if the following conditions are met:

  1. The assignment occurs after . Or, the debt is transferred at a time to a new person of equity participation in the contract. The second party will pay the developer.
  2. Assignment is allowed from the moment the DDU document is fixed, until the parties certify the subordinate act, or other paper on the transfer of the building into operation.

The original person who ceded the claim is liable for the invalidity of the transferred right to the new party to the contract. But the shareholder is not responsible for the failure of the developer to fulfill its obligations.

Exception: a DDU participant vouched for the company to a new shareholder.

Algorithm for concluding a contract

The rights under the assignment documents in shared construction are transferred to the new owner in the amount in which they belonged to the former shareholder. Actions to be taken before signing a contract:

  1. Checking the builder's documentation.
  2. Preparation of papers of participants.
  3. Preparation of contract.
  4. Recording of the agreement.

To check the papers, companies apply to the office of the organization involved in construction. The administration is obliged, at the first request of the acquirer, to submit necessary papers:

  1. Founding certificates of the enterprise.
  2. Registration certificate and TIN.
  3. Land patents - ownership or lease.
  4. Quarterly financial statement.
  5. Building license.

Together with these certificates, the buyer may request building plan. It states:

  1. Designed goal.
  2. Construction stages.
  3. Implementation of the building construction (term).
  4. Time of putting the house into use (estimated).

The organization must have a project declaration that prescribes how the developer's obligation will be fulfilled. And an agreement confirming on the basis of what (means) the construction is carried out.

Actions of the parties to the transaction

Before realizing the premises seller takes action:

  1. Notifies the developer of the sale - the organization is notified in writing. If the company is not warned about the change of equity holder, then the transaction may be declared illegal.
  2. The developer issues a written permit - the company requires up to 5% for the assignment process. Since the seller sells the area mainly at a price higher than he purchased from the company.
  3. The company issues a certificate of payment of the debt under the agreement.
  4. Consent (certified) of one of the spouses for the sale - when purchasing premises in marriage. read about the division of property.
  5. Bank permission - when the apartment is in a mortgage on a mortgage.
  6. Extract from the EGPR (Unified State Register right).

The buyer must obtain the permission of the wife / husband before purchasing (purchase of property in marriage). The future equity holder signs and receives a loan agreement if living space bought with a mortgage.

Correct compilation

After all the actions, an agreement is drawn up, subject to registration. The paper is drawn up in a construction company, a real estate agency or a lawyer.

The contract states:

  1. The subject of the agreement is the full name of the participants, the number of the document of participation in the DDU, the transfer object (number of rooms, total and living area, room number).
  2. Cost, payment procedure, ensuring the fulfillment of payment obligations.
  3. Obligations and responsibilities of the parties.
  4. Conclusion, addresses and signatures of the parties to the agreement.

Processing time

Registration takes place at the Registration or Cadastral Chamber and the MFC (Multifunctional Center).

In the presence of an employee participants sign an agreement and provide documents:

  1. Identification.
  2. Spousal consent, if required.
  3. Acquisition document previously signed with the developer.
  4. Information about the debt to the enterprise or a paper on the transfer of debt to a new shareholder.
  5. Company permission to transfer rights.
  6. Confirmation from the bank (with collateral) and a loan agreement, if there is a mortgage.

After the transfer of documents, the state duty is paid. Each customer has their own receipt. The registrar completes the application. It indicates: the object, technical parameters and data of the participants in the sale.

The cadastral officer accepts the signed agreement, originals and copies of papers. The seller and the buyer are issued a receipt of receipt with the date of the registered document.

Terms of assurance - from 5 to 10 working days.

At the appointed time, the acquirer takes the certified contract. The seller receives a document originally signed with the developer.

What are the features?

The buyer replaces the original owner. By agreement, he receives the amount of rights that the seller had.

The DDU participant has the right to demand the transfer of property at the agreed time. But share document is subject to mandatory registration, and the right to claim comes into force from the moment of certification. The transfer of rights under the DDU is carried out, and this can take up to several months.

But if the meters are transferred to the shareholder, then the cession loses its meaning: the developer has fulfilled its guarantees, and the shareholder has exercised the right to DDU. In this case, a regular contract of sale is signed.

With DDU, the assignment is carried out only from the moment of registration until the premises are transferred to the owner.

Conclusion

Assignment of rights of claim is not, as such, a document on the sale of residential space. This is the way where the parties change (shareholder or acquirer) in agreement with the developer.

By paying funds under the contract, the new owner buys the rights and responsibilities under the main document previously concluded with the construction company.

The assignment of rights is subject to the personal income tax rate:

  1. Resident of the Russian Federation - 13%.
  2. Non-resident - 30%.

In economic and financial relations, situations often arise when the debtor cannot or considers it inappropriate to fulfill his obligations. The conclusion of an assignment agreement allows to reduce the risks for the creditor. In relations with the bank, such an opportunity is immediately prescribed in the loan agreement, and additional consent of the borrower is not required. But at the same time, he also has certain guarantees for the further successful repayment of the debt.

The essence of the assignment agreement with the bank

Assignment is the transfer to other persons of the right to claim a debt or collateral (for example, the right to claim a mortgaged apartment), as well as all penalties if the debtor fails to fulfill the terms of the loan agreement.

Relations under the assignment agreement are regulated by Chapter 24 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation (Articles 388-390), as well as Article 12 federal law dated December 21, 2013 No. 353 - Federal Law "On consumer credit(loan).

Based on these documents, these rights can be transferred to any person, regardless of whether he has a license to conduct banking operations or not. At the same time, the loan agreement usually contains a clause on the assignment of the debt claim, that is, the debtor, at the time of its signing, agrees in advance with the possible fact of assignment.

If the loan agreement contains a prohibition on the assignment of debt or restrictions on the assignment, the bank can still draw up a cession agreement, but at the same time it will be liable to the borrower.

The right to demand both dubious and reliable debts can be transferred.

Transferred to an assignee - another financial and credit organization or collection agency. At the same time, the borrower in relation to the new creditor retains all rights and obligations arising from the concluded loan agreement. In other words, the assignee does not have the right to increase interest rate introduce (increase) penalties. Also, all previously taken interim measures to return the amount of the debt (pledge, guarantee) are preserved.

Often, an assignment agreement is concluded by a bank in the event that the voluntary and conscientious fulfillment of its obligations by the borrower is impossible, and other possibilities for obtaining debt have little chance.

The bank that transfers the right to collect the debt (original creditor or assignor), at the same time, gets rid of the doubtful debt to be returned and receives income from the acquirer of the transferred obligation.

Assignment of claims and transfer of debt

The cession is sometimes replaced by the concept of "". At first glance, this is the same operation. Differences - in the subject.

A cession is the right to claim a debt. Transfer (assignment) of debt is the transfer of the rights and obligations of the debtor. For example, there are the following types debt transfer:

  • between legal entities in case of reorganization, as a result of which the duties of the reorganized legal entity are transferred to the new legal entity;
  • between individuals: in the event of a divorce (when there is a division of debt, for example, for an apartment) or the death of the debtor; transfer of debt to a guarantor;
  • between an individual and a legal entity, when the owner assumes the debts of his company.

A cession is the right to claim a debt.

Requirements for an agreement, sample document

For an assignment agreement to be legal, it must meet the following requirements:

  1. The loan agreement with the original bank must be documented. But at the same time, the assignor is not a guarantor that the debtor will pay the transferred debt to the assignee. The latter is obliged to carry out all procedures for the return of the debt on his own, including applying to the court on his own behalf.
  2. A claim may not be assigned without the consent of the debtor, if the identity of the assignee is essential to the debtor.
  3. The debt must be of a commercial nature, not related to social obligations, especially in relation to a particular citizen. You cannot assign the right to claim a debt for alimony, or claims for damages to an individual.
  4. The assignor must provide the assignee with full information about the debtor, the terms and subject of the loan agreement, as well as information (personal data) about the persons who provided security for the loan. The assignee is obliged to maintain the confidentiality of the received personal data.
  5. The assignor must not take any action on the basis of which the debtor could object to the assignment of claims.
  6. The assigned right to claim a debt must not have been previously assigned to another person.
  7. The cession agreement must be properly executed (can be used).

Main Document Elements

The parties to the cession agreement independently draw up its draft. In order to comply with the law, the text must contain:

  1. The name of the document reflecting the essence of the agreement (transfer of claim rights).
  2. Parties to the agreement: assignor and assignee (for a legal entity, the data of the representative and information on the registration of the organization itself are indicated).
  3. List of rights to be transferred to the assignee (subject of the agreement).
  4. The price of the contract (the value of the assignor's fee).
  5. Duties of the parties.
  6. Documents evidencing the legality and validity of credit relations between the debtor and the assigning bank.
  7. Responsibility of the parties and enforcement of the assignment agreement.
  8. A way to resolve disputes under an agreement.
  9. Signatures of the parties, seals of legal entities.

A sample of such an agreement can be provided by any competent lawyer.

The procedure for concluding a cession agreement

  1. Joint development of the text of the document by the parties.
  2. Written notification of the borrower about the conclusion of the assignment agreement by the bank (Article 382 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation). If the debtor has not received the notification, he has the right not to fulfill his obligation to repay the loan to the new creditor.
  3. Document signing.
  4. Its registration, if the loan agreement with the borrower has also been registered (for example, a mortgage agreement and a mortgage agreement concluded simultaneously with it, drawn up for an apartment). If the loan agreement with the bank was notarized, then the assignment must also be confirmed by a notary.
  5. Transfer by assignee Money assignor and receipt by him of all documents signed with the debtor.

After the conclusion of the agreement, the assignee has the right to begin actions to recover the amount of the debt (if the debt is problematic), including applying to arbitration.

However, in accordance with Article 446 of the Civil Procedure Code of the Russian Federation, the execution of a writ of execution does not apply to:

  • the only housing of the debtor (house, apartment, part of it), if it is not the subject of pledge for the target loan agreement related to the improvement of living conditions;
  • land plots on which such housing is located (with the exception of the subject of pledge);
  • household items and ordinary home furnishings, individual items (except jewelry and luxury items);
  • money, food;
  • things needed to make professional activity debtor; seeds for sowing;
  • other.

List of documents required for the assignment of the right to claim a debt

  1. Certificate of registration of the assignor and the assignee, which are legal entities, or a passport for individuals.
  2. Loan agreement together with all appendices and agreements (including the payment schedule).
  3. Consent of the borrower to the processing of his personal data (if the clause on this is not specified in the loan agreement).
  4. Statement of registration of the loan agreement.
  5. Contract of supply, or sale and purchase if the debt arises from economic relations.
  6. Acts or other documents of reconciliation of mutual settlements, credit and debit orders, allowing you to confirm the preservation (presence) of debt.
  7. Documents confirming the provision of a service or the fact of delivery of goods, when registering an assignment in business transactions.

Instead of a conclusion

Thus, the range of main issues related to the assignment agreement, which can be concluded both with a bank and with another individual and legal entity, has been considered.

In conclusion, I would like to note the particular complexity of this treaty. It requires the collection of a large amount of information, its verification, competent legal registration of the document itself. In addition, additional risks may arise during the execution of the contract:

  1. The assignee may suffer losses if the debtor has not been notified in writing of the assignment of the right to claim the debt.
  2. In business contracts, the terms of the contract not paid by the debtor not fulfilled by the seller can “fall on the shoulders” of the new creditor.
  3. The debtor may not agree to the assignment of rights if he has claims to the identity of the new creditor.
  4. A collection agency acting as an assignee may not be entirely legal.

The debtor may not agree to the assignment of rights.

In order to protect yourself from many risks and to fulfill all agreements in a worthy manner, without selling a single apartment and without resorting to other extreme measures, it is recommended to seek the help of legal experts. They can at least get a sample. required documents, and as a maximum - to order a comprehensive legal support for all operations.

The concept of “assignment apartment” is becoming more and more common. It is known that this scheme for acquiring housing allows you to save significantly, but at the same time it is fraught with considerable risks. So what is an assignment? Do the benefits really justify the risks? How not to make a mistake when acquiring an investment object and make a profit? Is it worth buying a mortgaged or former mortgaged apartment? Answers in this article.

What is an assignment of rights?

Buying an apartment by assignment of rights is the transfer of rights and obligations to housing from one person to another for a certain fee.

An assignment agreement, called a cession, can only be concluded until the moment when the act of acceptance and transfer of the house is signed. The transfer of housing to another person after the signing of the act occurs through the sale and purchase.

An example of a cession: a person invests money in the purchase of an apartment at the stage of excavation, thereby becoming a shareholder and acquiring the right to future housing.

When the construction comes to an end and the prices for the apartment increase significantly, the shareholder cedes his right to the living space to another person for a sum of money. Thus, the shareholder has a benefit without waiting for the house to be completed and handed over, and the person who purchases housing by assignment saves significantly.

Investing in housing under construction is a profitable business.

The specifics of the purchase of real estate on the assignment of rights in a house under construction

We will deal with the advantages and risks of the buyer for the assignment of rights.

The attractiveness is that the cost of housing at the construction stage is significantly lower than the price of the same housing after the delivery of a new building.

Now let's list the risks:

  1. Since the shareholder does not sell square meters, but the right to purchase them in the future, then he is only responsible for the legality of the documents provided. He is not responsible for the fate of housing after signing the cession agreement.
    To reduce risks, before signing the contract, the buyer should find out:
    • whether the developer is facing bankruptcy proceedings;
    • whether the new building is in accordance with the plan;
    • whether the developer will be able to meet the deadlines;
    • whether the rights to this housing were previously assigned to another person;
    • whether the seller notified the developer in writing of the transfer of rights.
  2. Not every buyer realizes that along with the rights of a shareholder, he acquires his obligations. That is, if the seller has accumulated a significant debt on contributions to the developer, then the new copyright holder will have to pay this debt.
    To avoid such a situation, it is necessary to check all payment documents before concluding an assignment transaction, and also ask the developer for a document on the absence of debt.

Moments that deserve special attention:

  • The assignment agreement is linked to the primary equity agreement and must refer to this primary agreement.
  • All obligations under the primary contract fall on the new shareholder.
  • The assignment agreement must be registered with the Federal Registration Service.
  • The remuneration is paid to the seller only after the registration of the contract.

Documents that the buyer must have after the transaction:

  • Equity agreement(original or certified copy), as well as all annexes and additions to it (if any).
  • Payment documents and agreements(if available).
  • Transfer deed the above documents.
  • Assignment agreement.
  • Consent of the 2nd party if this agreement is not in the agreement itself.

In addition, if the seller is married, you must obtain the written consent of the husband / wife to complete the transaction, otherwise the transaction may be appealed. Consent is notarized.

Pitfalls for the seller in the assignment of rights to an apartment

Despite the fact that the above-described real estate purchase scheme is quite legal, the developer often limits the right of the shareholder to assign by introducing the appropriate clause into the contract.

The shareholder will be able to conclude an assignment agreement only with the consent of the developer, which is given for a certain fee - 1-3% of the transaction amount.
Since the law does not oblige the developer to give consent, the equity holders are forced to agree to compensation.

Nevertheless, investing in housing under construction has always been and remains a super-profitable type of investment. The main thing here is not to make a mistake with the object of investment.

How to reduce risks when buying an apartment from a developer?

Buying an apartment from a developer has its own peculiarities and involves certain dangers. It happens that after collecting money, the company simply disappears. Sometimes the company offers buyers dubious contract execution schemes. In order not to lose both square meters and finances, you need to know how such transactions are processed.

There is a procedure for buying an apartment from a developer:

The equity participation agreement is invalid without state registration.

When buying a home from a developer, the following documents are submitted to Rosreestr:

  • Application for registration.
  • Documents on payment of state duty.
  • Participation agreement.
  • Act of acceptance and transfer of housing.
  • Cadastral passport.

The term for obtaining a certificate, subject to the correct execution of documents, is 1 month. After receiving the certificate, the shareholder automatically becomes the owner of the apartment and has the right to dispose of it without any restrictions.

When to buy an apartment: at the stage of excavation or completed construction?

Apartments at the excavation stage are sold when at least 2 floors have been built. The acquisition of such apartments is characterized by increased risk and the possibility of obtaining significant profits, especially after the completion of construction and commissioning of the house.

Developers who are in a hurry to sell apartments on initial stage construction: this signals a lack of funds.

Apartments sold at the stage of completion are more expensive and therefore less profitable. However, the risks associated with acquiring such real estate are much less.

According to statistics, only 15% of buyers purchase apartments at the excavation stage, while at the final stage of construction - 90%.

Is it worth it to buy an apartment from a contractor?

The sale of an apartment from a contractor is not so common and is mainly relevant in times of crisis, when the customer pays the contractor with an apartment in a house under construction. He, in turn, sells housing on his own.

It should be understood that such a scheme for acquiring housing is quite risky, since if the contractor fails to fulfill his obligations, he will not receive an apartment, and, consequently, the buyer will not receive housing either.

How justified is the purchase of an apartment with a mortgage encumbrance

An encumbrance is a restriction on the disposal of property, information about which is entered in the USRR and in the certificate of ownership.

An apartment burdened with a mortgage is a living space that is pledged to the bank, since the mortgage loan has not been fully repaid. The sale of such an apartment is possible only with the approval of a credit institution. At the same time, the bank has the right to make demands, without satisfaction of which it will not give consent to the sale of collateral real estate.

How to purchase an apartment in a mortgage:

  1. The buyer of the apartment pays the rest mortgage loan about which the parties sign an agreement. This agreement is certified by a notary.
  2. After the payment of the mortgage, the bank issues a document on the absence of debt and the parties sign a contract of sale.

registration of the purchase of an apartment does not differ from the standard.

If the buyer has a positive credit history and sufficient income, the bank may agree to re-register the mortgage from the seller to the buyer.

What to look for in order to avoid possible risks when buying a mortgage?

  1. The presence of other encumbrances on the apartment apart from mortgages. To make sure that they are absent, you need to request information from the USRR.
  2. Take an extract from the house book to make sure that no one is registered on the acquired square meters.
  3. Payments are made through a bank cell. If , then each time you receive money, you need to take a receipt from the seller.

Buying a former mortgage apartment from a bank

Another way to purchase a home is to buy from a bank a former mortgage apartment for which the borrower was unable to repay the loan. Since the bank itself is not entitled to sell real estate, its interests are represented by a realtor who has the appropriate accreditation. It should be noted that the prices for such housing are not always below market prices.

Sometimes credit organisation may offer the confiscated apartment to another person interested in obtaining a mortgage. The rate on such a loan is reduced by 1-2%.
