Any real estate transaction may contain hidden risks. Due to its high cost and constant demand, this market attracts unscrupulous sellers and realtors. A real estate lawyer will help you avoid loss of money, nerves and the real estate itself.
Before taking any action with real estate, especially commercial real estate, we strongly recommend that you consult with a real estate lawyer. During the consultation, the lawyer will examine the available documents, inform you about the opportunities and risks and offer the best solution in accordance with your goal. This is important in real estate transactions, real estate disputes, including regarding the reduction of cadastral value, and registration of property rights.
Review of the transaction by a real estate lawyer
Before purchasing a property, you must first check the title documents and supporting documents. We pay special attention to: a certificate of ownership or an extract from the Unified State Register of Real Estate, an agreement for an object or apartment (a contract of privatization, purchase and sale, exchange, donation, an act of acceptance and transfer from the developer, etc.) a certificate of inheritance (if inherited) . Certificates must be on a special stamped form, and contracts must have the signature and stamps of Rosreestr.
If everything is in order with the documents, we check the seller. The owner (several owners, if shared ownership or joint property of spouses) or the owner’s representative with a notarized power of attorney can sell. When selling an apartment, the owner’s representative is required to check the validity of the power of attorney (you can find out about cancellation on the website of the Federal Notary Chamber) and meet with the owner (owners). If the power of attorney has been revoked, the spouse’s consent is not provided for joint ownership, or the owner is constantly “busy,” then it is better not to buy this property, since there is a high risk of becoming a victim of fraud.
You should not forget about registered citizens in this property. It is better to obtain a certificate from the passport office and a house register to verify the absence of persons who have the right to reside at a given address, otherwise their deregistration will be possible only through the court.
An extract from the Unified State Register of Real Estate will help you find out about the presence of arrests and encumbrances on real estate. Information about trials and enforcement proceedings should be found on the relevant websites. A real estate lawyer checks a real estate transaction on a professional basis and takes into account the smallest flaws and risks when preparing documents.

Reduction of cadastral value
Disputes regarding reduction of cadastral value are a special type of dispute. The cadastral value of a property or a plot of land means the value that is determined during the assessment and is indicated in the State Register of the Unified State Register of Real Estate. Cadastral value is important when calculating property tax and land tax. The lower the cadastral value, the lower the taxes. Whether or not it is possible to reduce the cadastral value will be shown by a legal analysis, with an assessment of current values and a forecast of reduction, based on our practice.
In order to reduce the cadastral value, the Law provides for the possibility of applying to a commission under Rosreestr and/or to court. For legal entities, pre-trial resolution of this dispute is mandatory; individuals can immediately go to court. You can contact the commission with an application from the day the information about the cadastral value of real estate is entered into the Unified State Register until the day the new value is entered into the Unified State Register. It is necessary to submit an administrative claim to the court with attached documents (extract from the Unified State Register, title documents for the property, report on the market value of the property). All documents necessary to challenge the cadastral value of a property can only be professionally prepared by a real estate lawyer. This is especially true for real estate in Moscow and the Moscow region due to their high cost.
