Although the era of fraudsters Elite Center already behind, but even today not all developers are bona fide.

Thus, many new buildings are erected without permits, which, in turn, either makes it impossible to put such a house into operation, or generates long-term delivery. In order not to be left without an apartment and money, you should carry out a full inspection of the construction site and the developer.

  1. Earth.  For construction, the developer must own or lease land. Before signing the contract, the developer must request a document confirming the right to land (for example, a lease of land). It should be noted that the owner of the land, the contractor (the company that builds the house) and the company that sells the apartment may be different persons. In this case, it is necessary to demand from the developer the documents concluded between the land user and the seller of apartments.

To verify the owner or tenant of the land created Public cadastral map. The information contained in it is open, and therefore everyone can check the location of the land, its cadastral number, form of ownership, purpose of the land, as well as its area.
