How to transfer an apartment to a non-residential fund and how much does it cost?

Quite often, both legal entities and individuals need to transfer an apartment from a residential to a non-residential fund. This issue can be accompanied by many problems related to legal regulation. The lawyers of "PRIKHODKO & PARTNERS" will help to solve all existing problems.

According to current Ukrainian legislation:

Apartment owners can initiate the transfer of their residential premises to the non-residential fund. This is regulated by the Housing Code, the Civil Code, as well as by-laws, building rules and regulations.

On the basis of the above-mentioned legislative framework, as well as the Law of Ukraine on the Conversion of residential premises into non-residential premises, local authorities are developing their algorithm of actions for changing the purpose of real estate.

What is a non-housing fund?

The non-residential fund includes premises that have a commercial purpose (offices, hairdressers, shops, etc.). They can also be utility rooms (warehouses, storerooms), as well as rooms that play socially important functions (basements, attics, technical rooms, etc.). The main difference between residential and non-residential funds is the absence of a procedure for registering residents and housing people. By changing the intended purpose, shops, hairdressers, dental offices, etc. can be arranged in residential premises.

Thus, among the main characteristics of a non-residential premises:

1. Use for industrial or commercial purposes.
2. Absence of registration/registration procedures.
3. Higher cost compared to housing stock (approximately +20%).

Important: non-residential premises cannot be located above residential premises. If we are talking about premises with an area of more than 100 m2, a separate emergency exit and a ramp for the disabled must be provided.
