Privatization of the attic is an important and urgent issue for many residents of apartment buildings in Ukraine. This process allows you to get additional space above the apartment and use it according to your own needs. In this article, we will consider the main aspects of attic privatization, the procedure, as well as answers to frequently asked questions.

   Collection of information and documents: the first step to the privatization of the attic.
    

The attic privatization process begins with the collection of necessary information and documents. This stage is crucial, as a decision will be made on the possibility and conditions of privatization based on the collected data. 

Determining the legal status of the attic

1. Acquaintance with documents for the house: It is important to determine whether the attic is part of the common property of the residents of the apartment building. To do this, it is necessary to familiarize yourself with the documents for the house, in particular with the charter of the residential complex or other regulatory documents.
2. Consultation with a lawyer: If necessary, contact a lawyer who will help you understand the legal status of the attic and determine whether it is possible to privatize it in accordance with current legislation.

   Check for restrictions: Find out if there are any restrictions or prohibitions on the use of the attic, such as utility floor status or other engineering restrictions.
    

Obtaining a house plan and technical passport

• Contacting local authorities: Contact your local executive authority or technical inventory bureau (BTI) for a house plan and technical passport. These documents contain information about the architectural features of the building, the location of the premises and other important data.
• Ordering copies of documents: If the original documents are in the common property of residents or in communal services, order official copies for further use in the privatization process.
• Data update: Check that you have the latest version of the technical data sheet, as changes in the design of the house may have occurred since it was first created.
