Why do I need a cadastral passport for an apartment?

Most of us are ownersReal estate - apartments, houses, land. Such a status obliges you to know the answers to some legal questions, which we may sooner or later encounter, say, when buying or selling this very real estate. Sale of an apartment is a responsible and troublesome business. It is not enough to find a buyer and agree on a price, but to make the transaction legal, and subsequently the seller and the buyer did not have unnecessary problems, it is necessary to prepare an "en" number of documents required for the purchase and sale. Typically, the collection of such documents are engaged in real estate offices, but it is much cheaper to do it yourself, especially if the deal is supposed to be implemented without expensive intermediary services.

One of the important papers that will be required forpurchase or sale of real estate, - cadastral passport for an apartment, house or land. Without its registration, no transaction will be deemed valid. In addition, it will be required when obtaining permission to redevelop the apartment, as well as when registering the right of inheritance. What is a cadastral passport for an apartment and how to apply for it?

The concept of "cadastral passport" is officiallywas fixed in the Russian Federation from March 1, 2008, when the law "On the State Real Estate Cadastre" came into circulation. This law determined the creation of an information resource containing information about all the registered immovable property of the Russian Federation, i.e. land plots, houses and structures, apartments and other premises, unfinished facilities, as well as the territorial boundaries of all subjects of the Federation. The same law determined the mandatory receipt of cadastral passports by the owners of premises when registering their rights. Thus, the cadastral passport for an apartment is the data on the real estate object written out of the state register, which are required when registering the property right and conducting various transactions with it.

Where can I get a cadastral passport? To do this, you need to contact the project and inventory office (BIP) located at the location of the apartment, with a statement, a passport that proves the identity, and a document on the ownership of the apartment.

What is the difference between a cadastral passport for an apartment from a technical passport

Until March 1, 2012, there was a law onwhich in the performance of various real estate transactions and registration of rights to it, a technical passport of the object was needed. This document, which contained much more information about the object (apartment plan, material of walls and ceilings, year of construction of the house, terms of major repairs, as well as inventory value), is now a supplement to the cadastral passport and issued if necessary and additional request. For transactions and registration of ownership right now it is sufficient to have only a cadastral passport for an apartment, but, say, when registering a mortgage, a bank can request a technical passport of the object.

Now a little about the validity of the cadastralof the passport. The RF Government's decision on data on the valuation of all real estate objects owned by citizens is valid throughout the year, and the starting date is January 1 of each current year. And although the cadastre passport can not be limited, the data specified in it are valid only for a year. Proceeding from this, obtaining a cadastral passport for an apartment is limited to one year. If during this time you did not manage to make a prospective transaction, then this document loses its significance, and it will have to be done anew.
