Registration actions regarding apartment redevelopment: Procedure and Legal Aspects
Remodeling an apartment or remodeling a house is a process that often becomes relevant for homeowners who want to change the space for their own comfort and needs. However, before starting any construction work, it is necessary to familiarize yourself with the legal requirements and procedures for the legalization of the re-planning of the reconstruction.
Procedure for apartment redevelopment:
Feasibility and planning: First of all, it is important to discuss and determine the need for re-planning, taking into account architectural and technical aspects. Careful planning will contribute to the effective implementation of the project.
Obtaining permission: According to current legislation, redevelopment of an apartment requires permission from local authorities. To do this, it is necessary to apply to the relevant local authority for a permit to carry out work.
Terms of reference: One of the mandatory stages is the drafting of the terms of reference for the design organization. This document defines all technical characteristics and requirements for work.
Project development: The project of redevelopment of the apartment must be developed by a qualified architect or design organization, taking into account all technical and legal regulations.
Legalization of the project: After receiving the project, it must be approved by the relevant authorities, permission to redevelop the apartment, as well as be agreed with neighboring apartment owners and tenants.
Conducting work: After obtaining all necessary permits, work can begin. However, all safety and performance requirements must be met.
Technical approval: After completing the work, it is necessary to obtain technical approval in order to legalize the changes made.
Registration with the authorities: The last stage is the registration with the relevant state authorities in order to change the ownership documents.
Legal aspects and legalization of redevelopment:
Legalization of the redevelopment of an apartment or house must be carried out in accordance with current legislation. Illegal rezoning can lead to serious legal problems, such as administrative fines or even termination of ownership.
The redevelopment of the apartment includes a number of works aimed at changing the layout of the premises without interfering with the load-bearing structures and preserving the external architectural form. This may include the following actions:
Moving, disassembling and arranging partitions, as well as doorways in internal walls between rooms.
Arrangement or closing of doorways between rooms, kitchen, corridor, etc.
Installation of new partitions in utility rooms, using light materials.
Replanning of premises to increase or decrease their area, including combining or dividing premises.
Glazing of balconies or loggias for their further use as part of an apartment.
Combining the bathroom and toilet into one bathroom without interfering with the general building ventilation system.
Changing the functional purpose of the premises, for example, increasing the living area by reducing the number of non-residential premises.
The practice of arbitrary construction often leads to difficult situations, especially when it comes time to decide the legal status of the constructed object. A person who has carried out construction without the appropriate permits and projects can face important challenges when it comes to alienation or ownership of real estate.
Whether such a step is correct or vice versa is a decision that needs to be made by each person individually. However, it is important to consider aspects of Ukrainian legislation and judicial practice in order to understand the possible consequences.
According to Ukrainian legislation, construction on a plot of land without a permit or in violation of building regulations is considered arbitrary. The consequence of this is the lack of ownership of the building or structure for the person who built it. This means that even with all the efforts and expenses for the construction, the object remains out of ownership, the initiator cannot acquire ownership rights to it.
