Legalization of apartment redevelopment
Far from always, the purchased apartment corresponds to all our ideas about the rational planning of space. Also, over time, there may be a desire to completely modernize the old apartment for new needs. In this case, the only option will be redevelopment of the apartment. At the same time, it is very important to remember that any redevelopment must be legalized. Legalization of apartment redevelopment is one of the activities of lawyers Prykhodko and Partners.
Features of redevelopment
To begin with, it is necessary to distinguish between the concepts of redevelopment and reconstruction. Redevelopment is the changes made inside the real estate object. These changes are accompanied by the dismantling of old partitions with the subsequent installation of new ones. At the same time, the external parameters do not change.
As for the reconstruction, these are construction works that involve intervention in the enclosing and supporting structures, engineering networks, etc. At the same time, the geometric shapes of the apartment expand, thereby changing its functional purpose. In most cases, reconstruction is required to increase the total area of the apartment.
Thus, re-planning involves changing the area of rooms on the basis of complete disassembly or relocation of walls. For example, it is possible to combine the living room and kitchen into a kitchen-studio. Also, the redevelopment of the apartment may involve changing utility networks or installing autonomous heating.
Although the apartment is your property, all actions related to its redevelopment must be properly legalized. Lawyers Prykhodko and Partners will help you with this.
What liability is provided for illegal redevelopment of an apartment?
According to the Law of Ukraine, administrative and criminal liability is provided for illegal redevelopment and extensions. Fines are more common (Article 150 of the Code of Ukraine on Administrative Offenses).
In some cases, criminal liability is also provided. For example, the reconstruction was/or could be the cause of serious damage to health or even life of people. In addition to the fine for the illegal redevelopment of the apartment, in this case correctional works, restrictions or deprivation of liberty for a term of up to 3 years are provided.
Legalization of apartment redevelopment: what should be considered?
Among the types of redevelopment allowed by current Ukrainian legislation:
- Moving the entrance door to the apartment.
- Visual increase in the area of rooms through auxiliary rooms and corridors.
- Holes in partitions.
- Dismantling pantries, mezzanines, built-in cabinets.
- Combination of two rooms (exception – storage rooms).
To legalize the redevelopment of the apartment, you will need:
- Redevelopment project
Before starting construction work, you need to contact the project organization and order the project. It will reflect all changes in the apartment, in particular, redevelopment.
- Technical and author supervision
Representatives of technical and author supervision are needed to ensure accurate compliance with the quality, deadlines and cost of construction works. After that, the Declaration on the start of construction works is drawn up.
- Technical passport
After the redevelopment of the apartment, you need to get a technical license for the changed premises.
- Declaration on the facility’s readiness for operation
- Obtaining a Certificate – confirmation of legalization of apartment redevelopment.
It is difficult enough to go through all the stages of legalization of redevelopment of an apartment on your own. That is why it is better to entrust the legalization of apartment redevelopment to professionals.
