The term of the mortgage loan, if any.

By the cadastral number or the exact address of the property, you can find out the owner of any real estate - an apartment, house, plot of land or building.

At the MFC

The most popular and in demand method of ordering an extract. The only drawback is the need to visit the office of the multifunctional center and the fact that the Unified Housing Document (UZD) is issued only to the owners and persons registered at this address.

The advantages of the information prepared by the MFC include that it is free. Within 1 business day, anyone interested in the name and surname of the owner can receive 13 documents simultaneously, which contain complete information on the object.

Via BTI

Not the most convenient way, since, just like in the MFC, information is provided only to the owners or to the courts when filing a claim for a dispute over a property. The advantage of contacting the BTI is the possibility of obtaining data on objects not included in Rosreestr, that is, commissioned before 1998. Information is provided for a fee. The fee is 200 rubles. To receive information, you will need to fill out an application form, attach a payment receipt and wait up to 5 business days.

At the notary

This method of obtaining information is convenient for those who are involved in registering an inheritance. The notary does not personally own the information contained in the Rosreestr database, but as part of the preparation of the inheritance case, he collects information about the property included in the inheritance estate. The collected information can be shared with the heirs.

In person at Rosreestr

The method is available to residents of settlements where MFC work is not established and who, for some reason, do not want to use online services. The category of people who trust paper documents. Requires time to wait in line (electronic queue using pre-issued coupons). You will need to have with you:

passport (other document);
a completed application of the established form (issued by Rosreestr);
a receipt of payment of the state fee in the amount of 750 rubles for the production of a paper version of the extract.

It takes 3-4 business days from submitting the application to receiving the statement.

Information about the personal data of the owner (full name) at the address may be contained in the databases of organizations processing personal data. But they, without the knowledge of the owner, have no right to disclose and issue them on a commercial basis.

Requests to the BTI or Housing Office

You can find out the owner of an apartment by address for free if you send a request to the Bureau of Technical Inventory (BTI). However, the BTI can issue a certificate with data only at the request of the apartment owner, so this method is relevant only for those situations when you are the seller and there is a need to find out who is the co-owner of the property.

In order to receive an extract from the BTI, you need to visit the authority in person. The state fee ranges from 200 to 300 rubles. The payment receipt must be attached to the application and submitted to the registrar. Ready time is from 3 to 5 working days. In rare cases, the procedure may take 7-10 days.

The situation is similar when ordering a certificate from the Housing Office. Specialists do not have the right to disclose information to third parties. An exception is if you are the owner or in situations in which the owner of the apartment issues a notarized power of attorney for you, giving you the appropriate powers.

Check that the seller owns the apartment now and not in the past

Sometimes the former owner of the apartment turns out to be a fraudster.

In 2021, a person sold an apartment, but since then he has kept an extract from the Unified State Register of Real Estate - there he was indicated as the owner. Now he wants to re-sell the apartment and shows buyers a statement from four years ago. Like: “Why will you pay for a new document when it’s ready?” Formally, the owner’s full name in the extract coincides with the seller’s full name in the contract. Only the real owner is another person.

An extract from the Unified State Register shows information about the owners on the day of issue. If the owner changes after a week, the report will lose relevance. Therefore, it is important to take an extract from the Unified State Register yourself as close as possible to the date of purchase of the apartment. This way you will find out the name of the current owner.

Banks, courts and notary offices do not accept statements that are a month old or older. As a rule, owners do not change within a month.

Old cadastral number

How to register a land plot in the cadastral register?

The electronic database does not yet contain information about all objects. Especially often, the so-called old cadastral numbers, which were assigned to real estate not included in the register data, are out of sight. Outwardly, the old, or as it is also called, conditional cadastral number is no different from the one that appears in the real estate documents. But records are not kept in the registry for them, which means it becomes more difficult to obtain data.

You can find out the old number at the cadastral chamber after paying the state fee. Finding information can take a long time, since it is likely that the information is only contained in archives.

Method No. 3 - in the MFC "My Documents"

Everything is as always - they won’t just tell you the owners, you will need to order an extract from the Unified State Register of Real Estate. You can contact any branch of the MFC, no matter where the apartment is located. If there is no MFC in the locality, go to the branches of the Federal Social Security Service. Take your passport and money for the state fee with you. In paper form, the extract costs 460 rubles, in electronic form - 290 rubles. Tell the employee the address of the desired apartment, he will fill out an application, issue a receipt and indicate the date of readiness for checkout. Usually this is 3-4 working days, but there are delays due to the workload of the department. You can find out if your order is ready by phone. On the appointed day, come for an extract along with your passport and receipt.

Owner verification - why is this important?

Buying real estate: an apartment, a house or any other object is, of course, a very joyful event. However, transactions are always associated with certain risks, so you need to approach the issue of finding the most suitable option and thoroughly checking all legal aspects with all responsibility.

Unfortunately, in the modern world, situations are quite common when sellers do not approach the issue of sales very conscientiously. We are not even talking about fraudulent schemes, but about the lack of additional documents and certificates. This may not affect the registration of the transaction, but it may bring a lot of problems to the buyer in the future.

What you need to check without fail:

Is the owner of the apartment married?
Are legal proceedings ongoing against him?
Is the seller involved in bankruptcy cases?
Is the seller really competent?

However, the very first step on the path to buying an apartment is the need to find out who is the owner of the apartment according to the law. At a minimum, you will need to know his full name for sure. This information will already help you in conducting your mini-investigation. This can be done in several ways, which we will discuss in detail below.
