What to do before submitting a deposit
The transfer of the deposit indicates that the parties intend to conclude the main agreement. Accordingly, you will need to make sure that the apartment you plan to purchase is suitable in all respects.
It is recommended to do the following:
- check the papers for the apartment. First of all, you need a fresh extract from the Unified State Register of Real Estate. It will indicate the owner, and also reflect information about all existing (if any) restrictions. It is also worth checking the technical passport for the apartment to identify possible illegal redevelopment or other changes;
- obtain notarized consent from the seller’s spouse. If the property was acquired before marriage or received free of charge, such a document will not be required. This can be checked on the basis of the supporting documents listed in the extract from the Unified State Register of Real Estate;
- make sure that there are no debts on utility bills. This is not a mandatory point, since such debts are not transferred to the new owner, but some management companies and resource suppliers try to collect the debt from the buyer;
- check if there is a debt for major repairs. This payment is considered the only one that goes to the new owner. The certificate can be obtained by the owner of the apartment from the Capital Repair Fund;
- make sure that there are no registered citizens in the apartment. It will not be difficult to discharge adults. Even if they refuse, the court will side with the plaintiff. But with children the matter is more complicated, so it is better to immediately exclude this possibility.
You can also prescribe the actions of the parties in case of unforeseen circumstances. This will prevent the development of conflicts in the future.

Preliminary contract for the purchase and sale of real estate
Until 2008, the issue of including a guarantee amount clause in a contract was considered controversial in judicial practice. Courts often took the position when regulating relations arising from a preliminary agreement that the rules on this type of security cannot be applied to them, since there is no monetary obligation (if the sale and purchase agreement itself was not concluded). As a result, the judicial authorities recognized the amount of money paid in advance as an advance with all the ensuing consequences. On July 22, 2008, the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation adopted a ruling on a similar issue; the court sided with the depositors. Federal Law No. 42 of 03/08/2015 amended Art. 380 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, paragraph 4, which separately established the rule that this type of interim measures can also be applied when concluding a preliminary contract.
Thus, now let’s assume a deposit agreement for the purchase of non-residential premises; a sample of it can be downloaded below.

How to apply
When buying a home, the seller and buyer must have a common opinion on all terms of the transaction, including the price. The negotiation process can take a long time. And here there is a risk that any of the participants can change their mind at any time.
To reduce this risk, transaction participants often practice making a deposit, i.e. part of the transaction amount. Why is this done:
- this proves that the parties have agreed on the issue of completing the transaction;
- the transaction amount will be recorded;
- the parties will be obliged to comply with the agreement to conclude a subsequent purchase and sale agreement on the agreed terms;
- it is also evidence that part of the cost of the house has already been paid.
It is these reasons that explain the popularity of the deposit as a measure to secure a subsequent purchase and sale transaction.
Correct execution of the deposit is always carried out in writing; only in this case will it be possible to protect your rights. It is also mandatory to provide a written receipt of receipt of money paid as a deposit.
It is the written form, in compliance with all the main provisions of the deposit agreement, that will make it possible to secure the future transaction as much as possible and bring it to completion on the original terms.
Mandatory rules
When making a deposit, it is recommended to follow some mandatory rules that will allow you to complete the transaction:
- An oral agreement does not provide any guarantees.
- If the deposit is made receipt, then it must include:
- amount transferred;
- the exact reason for the transfer of money;
- address of the house for sale;
- total selling price;
- expected date of conclusion of the investigation.
- Since it is quite difficult to formalize all this in a regular receipt, it is recommended to formalize the payment of the deposit using an agreement in the established form.

Order a contract
- The contract is signed by all parties; sometimes it is practiced that each page of the contract is signed by all parties to the transaction in order to exclude the possibility of substitution of pages.
- The amount must be written down both in words and in numbers, and it is advisable to adhere to this rule in all cases when money is involved.
- In the document, the owner must represent the person receiving the funds. If the owner is not indicated, then his rights must be confirmed by a power of attorney to carry out such actions.
Since the deposit agreement does not give rise to rights, but only records the intentions of the parties, it does not need to be notarized or registered.

Contract-Yurist.Ru Status: Legal company rating 460 | 08/05/2014 at 22:02:12 reply to Natalya Pavlovna This website contains samples of documents that have undergone legal review. You should not leave comments that are not substantiated and are not based on the law. “a deposit agreement is an advance agreement” If you carefully study the current legislation of the Russian Federation, you will see the differences between a deposit and an advance (from a legal point of view, they are significant) and this is by no means the same thing. “the deal did not take place, return the advance; any court will force you to return the deposit” You are not right. The advance can be returned, and if an agreement on a deposit is concluded and, due to the fault of the party that gave the deposit, the purchase and sale agreement was never concluded, then the deposit remains with the seller (clause 2 of Article 381 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation). And since all our judges have a legal education and know such basic things, not a single court will oblige the return of the deposit if the buyer himself is to blame for the fact that the transaction did not take place. “such a concept does not exist as a deposit only if these are not legal entities and damage from non-completion is proven” So that you have no doubt that such a concept as a “deposit” exists in the law, pay attention to clause 1 of Art. 380 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation (it specifies the concept of a deposit). For your information, the Civil Code of the Russian Federation applies not only to legal entities, but also to individuals, therefore, an agreement on a deposit can also be concluded between individuals. And for damage caused by failure to complete a transaction, if we speak legally correctly, then losses, the party responsible for failure to fulfill the transaction is obliged to compensate for losses, offset by the amount of the deposit, unless otherwise specified in the contract (clause 2 of Article 381 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation). “how to force the buyer or seller to give double deposit” According to paragraph 2 of Art. 381 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, only the seller is obliged to return the deposit in double amount if, through his fault, the transaction does not take place. You can force this to be done by filing a lawsuit in court and enforcing the court decision through the bailiff service. Article 380. Concept of deposit. Deposit agreement form 1. A deposit is recognized as a sum of money given by one of the contracting parties against the payments due from it under the contract to the other party, as proof of the conclusion of the contract and to ensure its execution. 2. The agreement on the deposit, regardless of the amount of the deposit, must be made in writing. 3. In case of doubt as to whether the amount paid towards payments due from the party under the contract is a deposit, in particular due to non-compliance with the rule established by paragraph 2 of this article, this amount is considered paid as an advance unless proven otherwise. Article 381. Consequences of termination and failure to fulfill an obligation secured by a deposit 1. If an obligation is terminated before the start of its execution by agreement of the parties or due to the impossibility of fulfillment (Article 416), the deposit must be returned. 2. If the party that gave the deposit is responsible for the failure to fulfill the contract, it remains with the other party. If the party who received the deposit is responsible for non-fulfillment of the contract, he is obliged to pay the other party double the amount of the deposit. In addition, the party responsible for failure to fulfill the contract is obliged to compensate the other party for losses, minus the amount of the deposit, unless otherwise provided in the contract. Therefore, Natalya Pavlovna, before giving such assessments to this or that document, study the legislator’s point of view on this issue. |

Yelliena | 11/28/2014 at 01:55:40 pm reply to Dogovor-Yurist.Ru Completely illiterate argumentation Dogovor-Yurist.ru! You cite articles of the Civil Code, but you don’t understand their essence. - I look at the book - I see a fig. According to paragraph 1 of Article 380 of the Code, a deposit is recognized as a sum of money given by one of the contracting parties against payments due from it under the contract to the other party, as proof of the conclusion of the contract and to ensure its execution. While the main agreement has not been concluded (I hope you don’t need to tell you about the conclusion of the apartment purchase and sale agreement), there are no monetary obligations of the parties to each other so that they can be secured. Consequently, it is impossible to use a deposit as security for the fulfillment of obligations under a non-existent contract, and it is also impossible to apply the consequences provided for in paragraph 2 of Article 381 of the Code to the relations arising from it. Therefore, in the event of a dispute, it will be quite legitimate to demand the return of the so-called deposit, but in fact - an advance payment, or worse - simply the use of someone else's money - and the payment of interest. |

1 Olga Status: Client | 09/08/2017 at 23:54:32 Download the document “Sample form of deposit agreement” This document of yours is complete nonsense. 1. The Buyer gives the Seller a sum of money in the amount of: _______________________ _________________________________________________________________________ against what is due from him under the upcoming purchase and sale agreement so here it is: a similar situation, only instead of issuing the word pays. The fact that the money was not just issued, but received by the seller, is not specified in the agreement. Our seller simply refused to receive the money. Like, there is no receipt. Which is not needed in by virtue of Article 308 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation. The trial has been postponed to September 20. What decision will the judge give? Today I saw a lawyer free of charge (from you). He said that we would not prove that the money was transferred, since there was NO clause in the agreement about “ACCEPTANCE BY THE SELLER OF THE DEPOSIT AMOUNT”. And how can we now prove that the text of the agreement “the buyer pays 100,000 rubles to the seller .....” is the fact of transfer and acceptance. deposit (advance). 899061713372 Volgograd. please answer if you can give me any advice. Just don’t talk about the need for a receipt, it’s not needed in relation to this. Article 308 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation. this is my mail. so I advise you to add “accepted” to your document |

When drawing up a deposit agreement according to the sample, do not forget to indicate the number of originals to be signed (according to the number of all participants in the transaction). At the bottom, all participants in the transaction are listed, who then sign and decipher the signature.
The difference between a deposit and an advance
It is necessary to clearly distinguish between the concepts of “Deposit” and “Advance”. Please note that the current legislation of the Russian Federation does not define the concept of “Advance”. In addition, there are no rules establishing requirements for advance agreements. Moreover, the advance occurs within the framework of the main contract.
Please note! The main difference between an advance and a deposit is that an advance does not guarantee that the parties will fulfill their obligations under the contract, but simply performs a payment function. In the event of termination of the agreement under which the advance was made, the party that paid the advance has the right to demand the return of the funds paid as an advance. In this case, the advance is returned in the amount in which it was received.
Note that a party who refuses to return an advance received may be held liable, since this action is interpreted as unjust enrichment.
Based on the above, an advance represents funds transferred by the buyer to the seller for future payments, which means that the advance does not perform a security function. In case of cancellation of the transaction, the advance is subject to unconditional return.
Transfer of deposit
The deposit agreement is concluded only after the buyer or his representative ensures that the documentation is clean and inspects the property for sale. As a rule, the direct transfer of money occurs after signing the contract.
The amount must be carefully recalculated on the spot. It is better if there are witnesses present. Considering the cost of apartments, any deposit, even a minimal one, represents a considerable amount of money. The amount of the deposit is established by the parties. This can be a fixed amount (for example, $2,000) or a certain percentage (for example, 10% of the cost).
When transferring money, it is recommended to additionally sign a receipt. This document must be handwritten and prepared by the buyer. The seller simply puts and decrypts the signature.
The receipt includes the following items:
- where and when the document was drawn up;
- identifying data of the parties to the transaction, including passport information, place of nominal and real residence;
- specifying what exactly the money being transferred is - that is, what exactly is taking place: a deposit or an advance agreement when purchasing an apartment;
- amount in digital and alphabetic writing;
- signatures of the parties with transcripts.
This is not mandatory, but a desirable document that will serve as full-fledged evidence in case of litigation. The receipt is kept by the party who transferred the money.
What should the parties do after paying the deposit?
Since the deposit agreement between the parties is only a preliminary part of the purchase and sale of an apartment - after the transfer / receipt of money, the seller and buyer:
- sign the main agreement within the previously established period;
- transfer/receive the remaining amount;
- apply to the registration authorities to re-register ownership of the apartment.

The legality of the concluded transaction can be confirmed at any time by either party - with copies of the receipt, the deposit agreement and the main agreement.
Necessary documents for drawing up a contract
To draw up an agreement on the payment of a deposit when purchasing a plot of land with real estate located on this plot, the following documentation will be required:
- identification documents of the buyer and seller;
- title documents for the land plot;
- cadastral passport of the land plot;
- title documents for real estate objects built on the territory of the land plot.
In addition to the above documentation, various certificates, extracts and other documentation may be required regarding both the land plot and residential real estate built on the territory of this plot.
Important! In the absence of title documents, the seller will need to prove ownership of the land plot and real estate built on this site and document this right. Only after this the transaction for the purchase and sale of the site and the real estate located on it will become possible.
