The publication is intended to help future owners of residential real estate understand the intricacies of modern legislation regulating the market for citizen participation in housing construction, and eliminate possible risks when entering into these relations. The book examines the concepts of an agreement for participation in shared construction, preliminary and investment agreements. Separate chapters are devoted to the procedure for choosing a construction company, the possibilities of financing housing construction (mortgage agreement), and taxation issues when purchasing apartments. The authors indicate how to avoid risks when buying a home, how to identify “pitfalls” when concluding contracts proposed by developers, how to go to court to protect their rights. The publication is intended mainly for investors in the construction of residential real estate, for citizens wishing to purchase an apartment in house under construction and having a minimum of information in this area, as well as for a wide range of readers interested in housing legislation.
