Legalization of the extension
If you decide to make an extension to a private house, it must be legalized. The lawyers of our company Prykhodko and Partners will help you in this. What is an extension? What are the options for agreeing on an extension? We will talk about this in this article.
Extension: construction features
An extension is a part of a building that is erected outside of its supporting capital structures. An extension may have one or more common walls with the house. It acts as an auxiliary structure. All buildings can be divided into 2 groups: residential and non-residential. Residential outbuildings – consist of one or more rooms, non-residential buildings – vestibule, veranda, balcony and other premises.
Extensions are most often made to private houses. For example, owners arrange verandas and terraces for summer recreation, as well as equip summer kitchens and utility rooms. All this is much easier to do in a private house than in an apartment building. The attached territory is at the full disposal of the owner, you will not need to coordinate the annex with the neighbors.

Thus, among the main requirements for the extension:
- Preserves the aesthetic appearance of the building as a whole.
- Does not block the passage for cars.
- Does not block the view from neighboring windows.
The technology, the complexity of the project implementation, the cost of construction largely depend on what the extension will be. In any case, if the extension to a private house is illegal, it must be legalized without fail.
Options for legalizing the extension
The complexity and stages of the procedure depend on the following factors:
- Does the extension belong to the capital category? Non-capital additions are erected without obtaining a permit.
- Year of construction of the building.
- The area of the extension.
Of course, it is ideal if you received all the necessary permits before the immediate construction of the extension. However, in most cases, the legalization of an already finished attached object takes place. This is most relevant in cases where real estate is being prepared for sale. If the extension is not indicated in the technical passport, this will become an obstacle to the implementation of the agreement.
The following documents will be required to legalize the extension: Certificate of ownership or lease agreement, passport, TIN of the owner, title documents for the extension. Prykhodko and Partners lawyers will do everything else for you.
Legalization of an extension can be carried out according to the general or simplified procedure (extensions erected before 1992). In some cases, the legalization of the extension can be carried out through the court or under construction amnesty (relevant for self-built houses built between August 1992 and April 2015).
According to urban planning legislation, an extension to a building can be considered as its reconstruction. It is also very important that the extension does not violate the rights of neighbors. If the house has two or more owners, it is necessary to obtain the consent of all the owners to draw up documents for the construction of the extension.
