Types of contracts: agreement of exchange and barter
The main difference is that when making a transaction to exchange a property, the latter must be the property of the parties to the agreement. That is, one owner transfers his home to another, after which the transaction is registered with Rosreestr, and the ownership documentation is redone for the new owners. In an exchange, the property belongs to the municipality, and persons live in it on the basis of a rental agreement.
In this regard, the registration of such property occurs differently - after the procedure for registering the agreement with the authorized bodies, the landlords re-register the rental documents for other tenants . But only the right to use the property is transferred to the new owners, as was the case in the previous case.
The law prohibits the exchange of a municipal apartment for your own property and vice versa. Barter and exchange are regulated by various laws. An exchange is a transaction controlled by the RF Housing Code, and an exchange is controlled by the RF Civil Code Ch. 31.
After the transaction is completed, it is necessary to register new residents for the living space. You can find out how to do this correctly in this article.

The concept of exchange of residential premises and the laws governing the transaction
Exchange of apartment or other residence.
premises - a legal relationship that arises between its parties regarding the transfer of any housing to each of them into the undivided possession of the other in exchange for another. Civil housing exchange has its positive and negative aspects.
“+” can be attributed:
- An exchange agreement can help citizens solve their housing problems: thanks to it, family conflicts can be resolved, families can be united, a move can be made to a new, more convenient area, another city, etc.;
- The form is simple written (no need to contact a notary to have it certified);
- In a situation where the parties have recognized the equivalence of the exchanged apartments, the transaction is not complicated by additional procedures related to settlements;
- If the contract is subsequently declared invalid by a judicial authority, the position of the parties that existed before its conclusion will be returned.
The “disadvantages” can be identified as follows::
- If the parties recognize the unequal value of the residential properties being exchanged, then one of the parties will have to pay the corresponding difference;
- Taxation of the beneficiary under the agreement.
- The right of full ownership of housing received in exchange arises not at the time of its transfer and acceptance, but upon state registration of the exchange agreement.
Registration of exchange = conclusion of a purchase and sale agreement.
The norms of the legislation of the Russian Federation regulating the exchange of veins. premises :
- Civil Code (Chapter 30 - if its positions do not contradict the provisions set out in Chapter 31, as well as the essence of the exchange itself);
- Housing Code (Articles 72-75 contain provisions regulating the right to exchange citizens who are tenants of state housing under a social tenancy agreement);
- Family code;
- Tax Code (Article 34.2 will tell you about possible taxes when exchanging housing, if it contains a monetary surcharge from one party to the other);
- Federal Law No. 218 - will tell you about the procedure and standards for state registration of exchange.
Some explanations regarding frequently encountered controversial issues in the application of the law (citizens or legal entities who misunderstand the position of the legislator may not assume that their actions violate the requirements of the law) are given by the Supreme Arbitration Court of the Russian Federation and the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation: for example, an overview of the practice of judicial bodies contained in the Information Letter No. 69 of the Supreme Arbitration Court of the Russian Federation dated September 24, 2002.

How to draw up an agreement to exchange one apartment for two?
Theoretically, exchanging one large living space for two smaller ones is possible.
But the chance of putting this idea into practice is very small. The fact is that only two parties can take part in this transaction. It turns out that in order to carry out the plan, it is necessary to find the owner of two apartments that suits the initiator of the exchange procedure, who, in turn, will also be interested in it. Or you can find a realtor who will take on such a matter: a purchase and sale agreement will be signed with one of the apartment owners, and an exchange agreement will be signed with someone else. But at the same time, the new owners of the larger apartment will have a certain share in it.
Typically, this is not a very attractive prospect for previously unfamiliar citizens, and therefore the conclusion of such an agreement is unlikely. But if there is still someone willing to sign an exchange agreement, the owner of the two veins. premises - the registration procedure in such a situation is the same as for regular exchange.
Content
In addition to the main clauses of the contract, which contain sufficient information about the identity of the parties to the exchange, as well as the addresses and characteristics of the apartments, their cost must be indicated.
You can determine it yourself by first studying similar advertisements for the exchange of housing that have similarities in:
- district;
- distance from the center, public transport stops, schools, kindergartens, clinics, etc.;
- number of storeys, year of construction, materials used in the construction of the house, presence of household communications, etc.
If one of the parties is not satisfied with the derived value, you can contact a specialized organization and order a professional appraisal (see an example of a real estate appraisal report here). In the future, it will be possible to assign the responsibility for paying for the services of specialists to the other party or divide them equally.
Depending on the specific value, the exchange may be actual, i.e. the apartment is exchanged for two, or with an additional payment.
Required documents
The list of required documents is similar to the list required when registering the purchase and sale of real estate:
- Certificate of ownership
- Cadastral passport
- Extract from the house register
- Certificate from the Criminal Code confirming the absence of debts for utilities
- Permission from the guardianship authorities to conduct an exchange (if there are registered minor children)
- Notarized consent of the second spouse (for the sale of an object if the seller is married)
Depending on the situation, the list may contain other documents.

Sell or exchange? Adviсe
To make a choice, it is necessary to take into account that transactions for the exchange and purchase and sale of real estate have common characteristics:
- it is necessary to pay 13% tax on the cost of housing (if a person has owned the property for more than 5 years, then there is no need to pay it);
- you must register the apartment in your name;
- the transaction is impossible if the participant has not received permission from his spouse, certified by an employee of a notary agency;
- After the transaction, minors must be provided with living conditions that are at least no worse than the latter;
- it is necessary to pay a state fee for registering the transfer of ownership rights;
- It is unacceptable for housing to be under collateral or arrest so that other persons have rights to it;
- parties to the transaction have the right to use the assistance of their legal representatives.
At the same time, these agreements also have distinctive aspects:
- housing used under a social lease agreement cannot be sold - it can only be exchanged;
- Carrying out a purchase and sale transaction requires less time, since if you want to exchange an apartment, it is not easy to find someone willing to exchange it;
- a transaction for the purchase and sale of housing is accompanied by payment in money, and a transaction for the exchange of apartments is the acceptance of real estate by the participants from each other;
- if the agreement needs to be cancelled, then during the sale the parties may face problems in returning the funds, whereas when exchanging the apartments, they are simply returned to the previous owners.
Thus, the choice between barter and purchase and sale must be made by the homeowner independently, based on the prevailing circumstances and personal preferences. For example, in the case of a non-privatized apartment, it is sometimes more profitable to register it as personal property, and then carry out a standard exchange or sale of housing.
Before starting the process of exchanging an apartment, it is recommended to consult a professional lawyer for advice. He will explain in detail the procedure based on the current circumstances, will assist in collecting the documentation package and concluding an agreement.

New and traditional methods of exchange, which were practiced back in the Soviet Union, can work well in the capital's real estate market. But doing them yourself is dangerous, since you will not be protected from legally unclean transactions. If you find a good offer and fall for it, you risk losing your apartment or paying an unfair amount. Only experienced specialists can make a correct assessment of partners, confirm the correct documentation and take into account advertising costs.
Qualified realtors have their own databases and allow you to find the best options in a much shorter time. The real estate agency is interested in providing clients with the most up-to-date and complete information. Offers found by chance are usually accompanied by false information regarding cost, ownership, owners, etc.
How can I change my apartment?
Apartment exchange is carried out according to one of the following options:
- On the secondary market. Owners, at their discretion, sign one exchange agreement or two purchase and sale agreements. The parties to the transaction consider the issue of additional payment independently, depending on the quality of the transferred housing.
- On the market of new buildings using the trade-in system. The developer and the buyer also enter into a contract of agreement. The proceeds are counted towards the new apartment.
- In the municipal housing market. The procedure is possible only with the permission of the municipality. It will not be possible to exchange privatized space for municipal space.
Let's take a closer look at the first two options. The third can be carried out only after consultation with your housing committee or another structure in charge of the apartment.

- Preparation of documentation for housing required during exchange.
- As proposals are received from potential participants in the transaction, viewing the proposals and selecting the most suitable object from among them.

Where to contact?
If the exchange procedure began with an agreement concluded with a realtor or a real estate company, then there is no need to apply anywhere else - the property transaction will be carried out in accordance with the service agreement.
When searching for an object to conduct a transaction on your own, you need to seek support from a lawyer. In some cases - if there are minors or incapacitated family members, if we are talking about the exchange of a share of housing, etc., the transaction must be concluded by a notary.
REFERENCE : At the discretion of the parties, the exchange agreement can be drawn up and certified at a notary's office in all cases.
Agreement
When drawing up an exchange agreement, the parties approach based on the specifics of the situation:
- to a real estate or law company;
- to a notary's office;
- to another place - by agreement.
They must have with them their civil passports, as well as passports or birth certificates of all family members. If an authorized representative acts on behalf of one (both) parties, he presents a notarized power of attorney.
The authorized person draws up an exchange agreement in triplicate , which each representative of the party to the transaction must familiarize himself with.
The contract must cover all the necessary provisions and indicate all the parameters of the housing to be exchanged. After familiarization, the contract is signed.
Additionally, a transfer deed signed by the parties at the time of drawing up the agreement is presented. If it has not been drawn up previously, then provisions are included in the agreement that the signing of the agreement has the force of signing a transfer deed.
Each participant in the transaction signs all three copies . Then one copy is transferred to the parties to the transaction, the third copy is intended for transfer to Rosreestr.
ATTENTION : If the exchange involves an additional payment, you must obtain a receipt for the transfer of the additional payment.
Registration of a transaction
Property transactions with real estate are subject to registration in order to enter information about the exchange of apartments into the cadastral records of Rosreestr. This point is mandatory, since ownership of real estate arises only upon completion of the registration procedure. This is enshrined in the legislation:
- Law No. 122-FZ of July 21, 1997;
- Law No. 218-FZ of July 13, 2015;
- Article 131 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation.
To do this, the parties apply directly to the territorial office of Rosreestr at the location of the property, or to a multifunctional one. Upon presentation of a passport, and representatives additionally - a power of attorney, applications for the transfer of ownership are drawn up in accordance with the conclusion of an exchange agreement.
The application is accompanied by a title document and an extract from the Unified State Register or a certificate of ownership. Documents are accepted against signature.
Upon completion of registration, new owners come for a second appointment to receive a registered agreement and an extract from the Unified State Register of Real Estate, stating the legal powers of the new owners.
Deadlines and costs
According to the new standards established by the regulations of Law 218-FZ, registration must be completed within ten days if both counterparties submitted applications at the same time. In other cases, registration may continue for a month.
For the registration procedure, a state fee of 2,000 rubles is charged for each contract subject to registration. Notarized contracts are not subject to duty .
Registration of property rights under an exchange agreement
When the parties have prepared the necessary documents and signed an agreement, the final stage of the transaction and consists of registering ownership of the real estate that each party acquired under an exchange agreement.
The transfer of ownership of real estate to a new owner is subject to mandatory state registration . To do this, the parties to the transaction must personally submit an application with all the necessary documents to Rosreestr, and you can also send documents by mail or contact the multifunctional center
Moreover, when documents are sent by mail, it is necessary to have the signatures of the parties certified by a notary . In addition, the transaction must be certified by a notary.
Registration of the right is carried out within 10 days from the date of submission of the application. When the transaction is certified by a notary, registration can be completed within three business days.
Previously, a certificate of state registration of rights was issued, but starting from 2021, an extract from the Unified State Register of Rights is issued. And only after this can we consider that the transaction is completed.
Exchange by court order
Quite often, cases arise when it is impossible to obtain consent to an exchange from one of the owners or registered persons. These may be personal reasons, a person’s reluctance to change their place of residence. Often the owner simply cannot find contacts and obtain consent, without which the exchange agreement is considered illegal. What then?
An exchange based on a court decision is called forced. Forced exchange can only be implemented in relation to municipal housing. If the apartment is owned, then the shareholder can apply to the court with a request to allocate the share due to him in kind.
The court makes a decision in which it decides to carry out the exchange even without the consent of any of the persons registered in it, if we are talking about a municipal apartment. In this case, you need to go to court and file a claim for forced exchange of living space. The claim is filed in the district court at the place of residence of the defendant.

How to exchange owned housing?
In essence, barter is no different from selling and buying a home in the traditional way. A significant difference, and perhaps the only one, is that in exchange, money is not paid, but an apartment (or other real estate) is given away.
In such a transaction, the parties simultaneously act as both sellers and buyers. Accordingly, the subject of such an agreement will be both apartments.
To carry out an exchange under a barter agreement, a clear sequence of actions is required:
- It is necessary to find an exchange option that will suit both sides. You can do this yourself or by contacting a real estate company. As a rule, realtors have their own base of clients who want to change their living conditions.
- Competently draw up and sign by both parties an exchange agreement, as well as an act of acceptance and transfer of apartments to be exchanged. essential conditions must be agreed upon . If the exchange is equal, then they include mutual obligations of the parties to transfer and accept premises to each other. In the case of an unequal exchange, the contract specifies the amount of additional payment to be made by the owner of the apartment that is lower in price.
- Prepare documents. Their list may change depending on the situation.
- When all the documents have been collected, they must be submitted to Rosreestr or the Multifunctional Center (MFC) to register the ownership rights of each party to the newly acquired premises.
- Obtaining an extract from the Unified State Register from the registration authority. This stage is final, and the transaction is considered completed.
Exchange of a privatized apartment
The exchange of a privatized apartment for a privatized apartment is no different from a purchase and sale transaction. But if one of the apartments is not privatized (is in municipal ownership, etc.), then such an exchange is impossible .
Previously, such an exchange was possible, but gradually it faded away. This is due to the fact that in modern realities, rarely anyone wants to change their own housing to social housing provided under a social tenancy agreement. Thus, voluntarily give up your own square meters.
Related apartment exchange
The legislator does not provide for such a concept as “related exchange”. Therefore, you should not count on any benefits when carrying out such transactions between relatives. The exchange takes place in exactly the same manner as between strangers.
The advantage of such an exchange of apartments may be that relatives usually do not require additional payment for the unequal area of the exchanged living space.
Sometimes relatives use a gift agreement instead of an exchange or sale agreement, since such a transaction is exempt from personal income tax. Thus, the transaction of exchange is replaced by a gift.
