Divide the apartment into separate objects

Dividing an apartment into separate objects is an important legal procedure that may be necessary for various reasons. At our law firm, we provide qualified assistance in this matter, helping our clients to carry out this process safely and efficiently.

Reasons for dividing an apartment into separate apartments

Many owners of large apartments are often faced with the need to divide them into several smaller units. This method has become quite popular in Ukraine as a way of investing, when an investor buys a large apartment, divides it into several smaller parts and then alienates it. This can be a very profitable option, since the cost of one apartment of 140 square meters can be much lower than the sum of the cost of two apartments of 70 square meters.

Sometimes developers sell real estate by whole floors, and buyers already divide them into separate apartments. For example, an apartment with an area of 180 square meters can be divided into 5 separate units. These apartments are often called “Smart” apartments. Such small-sized units are common in many modern residential complexes.

However, for the successful division of an apartment into several separate units and their subsequent use as independent apartments, it is necessary to perform more than just separation with separate entrances. It is also necessary to carry out a number of engineering and legal procedures to ensure the full status of each apartment as a separate real estate object and to obtain the appropriate documents on the ownership of each unit. Our company “Prykhodko and Partners” is ready to provide you with comprehensive assistance in this matter and provide you with the necessary legal services for the successful completion of the apartment division.

Requirements for dividing an apartment into separate objects

When dividing an apartment into separate objects, it is important to comply with a number of requirements:

1. Legality. The division must be carried out in accordance with current legislation and comply with all requirements relating to property rights.
2. Property valuation. Real estate must be appraised according to market value for proper distribution of property.
3. Agreement of the parties. All owners or participants in the division must have clear agreement and agreement regarding the terms and scope of the division.

It is also important to note that each separate apartment must have its own bathroom, kitchen and living room.

The problem with a separate entrance in divided apartments is often solved by organizing a vestibule. However, in order for the new kitchens and bathrooms in such separate units to function properly, additional aspects need to be taken into account.

First, it is necessary to carry out additional waterproofing of the floor, especially in places where separate apartments have a connection with the main structure of the building. This will help to avoid the penetration of moisture and water between the apartments.

In addition, it is important to organize the ventilation system of the premises. This includes the installation of hoods in the kitchen and bathrooms, which will effectively remove moisture, vapors and smoke outside the apartment. This will not only provide a comfortable environment for residents, but also help to avoid the appearance of damp and moldy areas.

Such engineering solutions are important to ensure functionality and comfort in divided apartments and are taken into account during the planning and implementation of the division of premises. Our company is happy to help you with these aspects and provide the appropriate engineering support for your project.

Beginning of division of the apartment

There are two options for dividing the apartment into separate apartments:

1. When dividing an apartment with a change in the configuration of load-bearing walls, which already requires certain construction works, for the beginning of which it is necessary to obtain the appropriate permits. After the completion of such works, it is necessary to put the facilities into operation.
2. The basis for dividing the apartment into two or more separate parts without interfering with the load-bearing structures is the opinion on the technical possibility of the division, which is provided by engineers with the appropriate qualification certificates. This opinion usually includes an assessment of the structural capabilities of the building and guidance on the technical aspects that must be taken into account during the subdivision.
