Conversion of a garden house into a residential one

The transformation of a garden house into a residential one is an important step that requires a careful legal approach and professional support. Our law firm is ready to provide you with comprehensive support and advice at every stage of this process.

Reasons for converting a garden house into a residential one

The main reason for the transition from a garden house to a residential one is the impossibility of obtaining registration of a place of residence in a garden house. This applies to both adults and minors, as country houses are not intended for permanent residence. According to the definition given in DBN B.2.2-12:2019, a garden house is intended for summer (seasonal) use and does not meet the standards established for residential buildings in terms of built-up area, external structures and engineering equipment.

Compared to this, a residential building is a capital structure, built in accordance with the requirements of the law and other regulatory acts, and is intended for permanent residence. Such a house meets all the requirements for comfort, safety and infrastructure for comfortable living on a permanent basis.

What is needed to convert a garden house into a residential one?

To change the intended purpose of a garden house to a residential one, you must have a report on the technical inspection of the house, which confirms the building’s compliance with state building regulations. Such a report must be drawn up by an organization that includes specialists in various types of work related to the creation of architectural objects and who have passed professional certification.

Ways of converting a garden house into a residential one

The process of converting a garden house into a residential one can be considered as a sequence of steps, which includes the following stages:

1. The first step is to order a report on the technical inspection of the building, which includes a conclusion on the building’s compliance with state building regulations.
2. If the real estate is owned by two or more people, it is necessary to obtain the consent of all co-owners to convert the house into a residential one.
3. After receiving the report and the consent of the co-owners, an application of the prescribed format is submitted to the executive body through the Central Administrative Office or Diya.
4. Attached to the application are copies of documents confirming ownership of the house, a technical inspection report and the consent of the co-owners.
5. After submitting the application, the relevant local self-government body makes a decision to convert the house into a residential one. This process usually takes up to a month.
6. After receiving the decision, you have the right to produce a BTI technical passport for a new residential building.
