The latest high-profile scandals related to the bankruptcy of construction companies, which left the equity holders without money and real estate, make those who want to save on housing more responsibly when choosing a developer. Since an error in this case can cost millions of rubles.
You should not choose an apartment based on the cost alone. On the contrary, offers of affordable housing in a good area with developed infrastructure, fine finishing and tight deadlines should be alarming. Be that as it may, construction is a business that should be profitable. Therefore, no one will sell square meters at a reduced price.
In this article, we will talk about reliable developers in St. Petersburg.
To get started, browse a few sites. Study the information, check the availability of photographs from real objects. "Pacifiers" with colorful pictures borrowed from the Internet can be safely sifted out.
Ideally, the constituent documents, the certificate of registration should be posted in the public domain. If not, then the data on the date of registration can be found on the website of the tax service.
The main documents confirming the legality of construction work are a permit and a project declaration. A building permit is issued by the city (district) administration. The document indicates the date of issue and the names of objects that will be built (from residential buildings, parking lots to transformer substations).
The project declaration is drawn up by the construction company and certified by the signature of the general director. It indicates: profit for the last 3 years, deadlines, dispute resolution procedure, financial risks.
Please note: the developer must have lease documents or title to the site.
It is better to buy apartments from companies accredited by major banks. This means that the financial institution has calculated all the risks and is ready to invest in the project.
As a rule, bona fide companies insure risks (bankruptcy or construction cessation) in order to pay money to clients. Request the original at the office, and then check if the insurance company specified in the contract is on the list of the Central Bank.
On the website of the arbitration court, you can check whether the company has been filed for bankruptcy. If so, other options are worth considering.
Another option is to personally see the houses already handed over. Pay attention to the exterior decoration, the condition of the elevators, and if there are any streaks on the walls (on the upper floors). If you like everything, you can consider the purchase option.
Below is a rating based on market share, bank accreditation, number of completed projects and user reviews.
