With the return of Crimea and Sevastopol to Russia, many residents believed in changes for the better and bringing the sphere of capital construction into strict compliance with the legislation of the Russian Federation. To this end, the city authorities of Sevastopol initially introduced a moratorium on multi-story construction in order to conduct a comprehensive inspection of the facilities under construction. After some time, the inspections ended to the delight of the developers and their potential clients. The most memorable result of this activity was the demolition of the almost completed high-rise building on the street. Captain's on the site of a one-story grocery store. In addition to all the other accompanying reasons for demolition, city leaders also cited the fact that the land plot under the high-rise building had a different purpose and functional purpose. But this is the historical center of the hero city and, so to speak, its sea gates, but what happens on the periphery?

Having studied the documents, it can be assumed that the story described above may be repeated in relation to the objects of the Kompromiss group of companies, one of the largest developers of land plots for multi-storey residential buildings.

Today, the company’s official website (http://compromiss.info/projects/123) presents the most profitable, in the opinion of the developer, offer in the city for purchasing housing in a new building. The cost of a one-room apartment with an area of ​​42 square meters on Artdivizionovskaya street, Nakhimovsky district of the city of Sevastopol, with all amenities, namely: autonomous heating, water supply and sewerage outlet, installation of a water meter, gas and electric meters, installation of metal-plastic windows, metal entrance door, external insulation of the facade home, a representative of the developer company estimates it at 1900000 rubles, which today is equivalent to $33000. Isn't it true that the price is tempting? More than! Considering that on the secondary market the cost of one-room cars starts at $50000!

Language-savvy sellers of new buildings assure potential home buyers with loud statements: “that the first stage of construction of the house will be put into operation before the end of the second quarter of 2015, that is, maximum in June of this year, and you only need to pay 90% of the cost of the apartment , which was literally left alone and from the reserve. Then, having a little patience, wait two months.”

The construction of all three stages of the five-story building is currently proceeding at an emergency pace. All that remains are “mere little things” - putting the house into operation, taking the remaining 10% of the cost of housing from the shareholder and connecting the apartments to the housing and communal services necessary for life (electricity, water, sewerage).

Will the developer be able to fulfill his promise and part with conscientious purchasers of square meters as good friends? Great doubts arise.

Having reviewed the documents presented by the developer for three land plots on which three sections of a multi-storey residential building have already been built, one of the most important questions arises in this “miracle project”. Was it possible to build them there?

After all, three land plots with an area of ​​0,09 hectares each were allocated by the Sevastopol City Council in 2009 to individuals exclusively for the construction and maintenance of individual residential buildings with outbuildings (garden plots).

The legislator, both Ukrainian and Russian, in this case strictly regulates that only an individual residential building can be built on a given land plot, and not a five-story apartment building!

The question arises: how does the developer plan to put “this” into operation? And won’t it turn out that, having collected the remaining 10% of the cost of the apartments, the company will leave the happy new residents alone with the insoluble situation of the impossibility of obtaining title documents for their apartments, despite the fact that the very possibility of living in such apartments without connecting the house to the necessary communications will be excluded?

I would like to sincerely hope that all clients of the Compromise company, before concluding a contract and making a monetary contribution, familiarized themselves with the originals of all documents permitting the construction of this multi-storey residential building. We have made sure that they comply with the current legislation of the Russian Federation, and also understand that the structures under construction are not an individual residential building located on a personal plot. We got acquainted, if they were available, with the technical conditions for connecting future objects of the multi-storey residential building category to city networks and communications, made sure that these documents had not expired and they did not provide for the construction of transformer and pumping substations, in the future, at their expense .

And before signing the agreement, you additionally consulted with your lawyer or advocate, who analyzed these documents and authoritatively stated that the risk of negative consequences of such a transaction is negligible.

Thus, new clients of the Compromise company can sleep peacefully only in two cases: either the developer has all of the above documents that are valid on the territory of the Russian Federation, or someone promised the eminent developer to change the legislation to accommodate them.
