How to find out if there is a share in a privatized apartment, how to find out what share in the apartment belongs to me

An apartment in Russia can be either in common or shared ownership. The presence of several owners complicates the procedure for disposing of property.

How can you find out the owners' shares in an apartment in 2023 in the Russian Federation? When making transactions involving the alienation of shared real estate, it is necessary to know who the legal owner of the property is.

This is especially true when buying and selling residential real estate. How can you find out about the owner’s share in an apartment in the Russian Federation in 2023?

What you need to know

All apartments in Russia are divided into two categories - private and public. And if the latter always have one owner, the state or municipal authorities, then private housing can have as many owners as desired.

This affects the ability to dispose of housing. In particular, to sell a share, it is necessary to obtain the consent of all owners.

According to the law, the owner of a share has the right to dispose of his property at his own discretion, but in compliance with the interests of the co-owners.

Buying a share of an apartment is attractive for citizens who do not have enough funds to purchase separate housing.

But at the same time, buyers do not always think about how ownership of the acquired share will develop in the future. Perhaps the share was sold because it is simply impossible to live with the co-owners.

And if the share was sold without notifying the co-owners, then there is a high probability of challenging and canceling the transaction through the court.

The need to check who owns shares in an apartment may arise in other situations. Knowing where to go, finding out information about homeowners will not be difficult.

Definitions

A share in an apartment, in accordance with the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, is part of the property owned by common ownership by two or more owners. It is worth distinguishing between joint and shared ownership.

If an apartment belongs to several owners, but shares in it are not allocated, such an object is joint property.

When disposing of such property, a transaction will be required on behalf of all owners. It will not be possible to sell, donate, or inherit part of such an apartment because the share is not clearly defined.

An example of joint ownership is a common apartment of spouses, in which shares are not allocated. The privatized apartment is also common until the shares are allocated.

When an apartment is officially divided into shares and the relevant information is entered into the state register, it is a common shared property.

The owner of the allocated share has the right to dispose of his property, respecting the interests of the remaining owners.

Another important point is that the share can be allocated in kind or as a percentage. The allocation of a share in kind is possible when a separate entrance can be organized for each individual share.

In relation to an apartment, this option is rarely feasible, and the share is determined as a percentage. In the real estate register this is expressed as 1/2, 1/3, etc.

The owners' shares in the apartment may not be equal. In this case, the owners can, by mutual agreement, divide the area or go to court to determine the size of the shares.

Why might such information be needed?

Why does the buyer of an apartment need to know all its owners? The main reason is that the apartment or its share can be sold without the consent of other owners or in violation of the interests of the owners.

For the new owner, this can result in serious difficulties. For example:

The share belongs to a minor	To sell a child's share, it is necessary to obtain the consent of the guardianship authorities. Permission is given only if the child is provided with similar or better living space. Selling a child’s share without the consent of the guardianship authorities may lead to the cancellation of the transaction
The share belongs to an incapacitated person	By law, all home owners are present during the registration of the purchase and sale agreement in person or their interests are represented by a legal representative. If the transaction was made with the participation of an elderly relative (by proxy), then there is a possibility of challenging the transaction later due to the incapacity of the owner
The share belongs to the person staying in prison	According to the law, such a citizen can be temporarily discharged, and the extract from the house register will not contain information about him. But registration or lack thereof does not affect ownership. After serving a sentence, a citizen has the right to challenge the transaction

You may also need to find out about the owners’ shares in an apartment when a person doubts the existence of his share.

For example, at the time when housing was privatized, a citizen was a child and, upon reaching adulthood, is not sure whether he has the right to claim part of the apartment.

Current standards

According to Article 244 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, any property, including real estate, owned by two or more persons is in common ownership.

If the share of each person is clearly defined and officially registered, there is shared ownership.

In this case, the owner can dispose of his share only with the consent of the remaining owners (with the exception of donations and wills).

Refusal to purchase is expressed by a refusal in notarial form or a notarized notice confirming the notification of the owner about the upcoming sale (if there is no response to the offer within 30 days).

The notice clearly states the description of the share in a particular apartment, the offer to purchase and the price of the share.

The notice can be served in person in the presence of witnesses or sent by registered mail with acknowledgment. To avoid challenging the transaction, it is advisable to draw up a notice with the help of a lawyer.

Procedure

According to Federal Law No. 250 of July 23, 2013, any interested citizen of the Russian Federation has the right to obtain information about homeowners.

There are quite a lot of ways to do this. But some of them can only be used by the direct owner.

For example, an apartment owner wants to receive an official document listing all homeowners.

He can contact the BTI and order the appropriate certificate. Third parties can obtain information only through a judicial or notarial request.

You can find out about the owners of the apartment from the Unified Housing Document (UZD). This document contains an extract from the house register and other important information about the apartment.

You can obtain a Unified Housing Document at the MFC or at the Unified Information and Settlement Center (EIRC) at your place of residence. But only the owner or a registered citizen can submit a request.

However, there are ways to verify the ownership of housing that are available to any adult citizen.

However, you need to take into account that there are quite a lot of resources on the Internet that provide such information.

How to check the former owners of an apartment

But it is not enough to obtain information about the owners of shares in the apartment. This does not guarantee that no one will lay claim to the apartment in the future.

• For example, an illegally discharged minor child upon reaching adulthood can claim a share of the living space.
• At the time of the sale, the former owner could have been undergoing long-term treatment, in prison, or in another country.
• If for some reason the owner was illegally evicted from the apartment, and the apartment was sold without his participation, he will be able to challenge the transaction.

It may well happen that the previous owner purchased the property in violation of the law.

Therefore, it is very important to know who was the owner of the apartment and on what basis they lost this right. How to find out the former owners of an apartment?

To obtain the necessary information, you can request an archival extract from the house register, which is issued at the housing office or passport office. Such an extract is issued only to home owners or registered citizens.

1. From the archived extract, you can find out the “history” of the apartment - data on all residents who have ever been registered in the apartment since its commissioning, including indicating the reasons for leaving (extract, retirement, death).
2. Such information is important because the interests of stakeholders may not have been taken into account during the privatization of housing.
3. To obtain information about the details of the transfer of ownership of an apartment, you can order an extract from the Unified State Register on the contents of title documents or an extract from the Unified State Register on the transfer of rights to the property on the Rosreestr website.

Finding out about the owner's share in an apartment in Russia in 2023 is not difficult. You can do this online, without leaving your home.

An online way to find out the former owners of an apartment

Article updated: August 29, 2023

Hello. Thanks to my article, you will be able to find out the former owners of the apartment online, but only their full name without passport data.

Passport data belongs to the category of personal data, therefore it is prohibited to distribute and use it without the permission of the subject - clause 1 of Art. 3 and paragraph 2 of Art.

6 of the Federal Law “On Personal Data”.

Is it possible for free

No, and here's why - Rosreestr stores various information about real estate in the Unified State Register of Real Estate (USRN). This information contains the names of the previous and current owners of this or that property. According to Art.

63 of the Law on Registration, a free request to the Unified State Register can only be made by law enforcement officers, prosecutors, bailiffs, notaries, etc. Ordinary citizens can make a paid request and receive an extract from the Unified State Register of Rights on the transfer of rights.

It displays former and current owners.

This is confirmed by the support of Rosreestr:

An extract from the Unified State Register of Real Estate on the transfer of rights to a property will help

In the sample below, look at point No. 2 “Registered”. It lists the owners, their shares in the property, the date and number of state registration of real estate in their name, the date of registration of termination of the right (date of end of ownership). Where can I get an extract?

Sample

(click on the sample to enlarge it)

Rosreestr began its work in 1998, so the extract contains the full names of all previous and current owners from this year. For example, a certain citizen Ivanov sold an apartment to citizen Petrov in 1997. Petrov still owns the apartment to this day.

This means that the extract will contain information only about citizen Petrov, because... the purchase and sale transaction was registered before the start of Rosreestr’s work. Until 1998, transactions were registered in the BTI and only apartment owners can request information about past owners.

Any person can obtain an extract from the Unified State Register of Real Estate for any real estate in the Russian Federation.

Where can I get an extract?

Statements are available in paper and electronic form. It can be ordered at any branch of Rosreestr or MFC for 400 rubles, production time is 3 working days.

It’s more convenient for me to order an electronic statement, because: 1) it costs only 200-250 rubles, when a paper one is already 400 rubles.

; 2) you don’t need to go anywhere - after payment the statement will be sent by email; 3) easily opens on a computer or phone - no additional programs need to be installed. Can be printed.

I order electronic statements not on the official website of Rosreestr, but in its partner service EGRN.Reestr. Order instructions below. EGRN.Reestr is better than Rosreestr in the following: 1) The cost of the extract is 200 rubles. On the Rosreestr website you will have to pay 250 rubles; 2) The average speed of sending statements is 1 hour. I had to wait an average of 47 hours from the Rosreestr website; 3) The statement will be sent immediately in readable form - you can open it on your computer and phone without any problems. No additional programs are needed. From Rosreestr you will receive an extract in an unreadable .xml format and will have to convert it into a readable form. 4) In the EGRN.Register it is easier to fill out the order fields and there are few of them. The Rosreestr website is inconvenient, there are many fields for ordering and you need to enter your passport data.

The USRN.Register service takes official information from the USRN, and not from any third-party database. An electronic digital signature of the Rosreestr registrar will be sent along with the extract.

Instructions for ordering in the Unified State Register

For clarity, I ordered an extract for an apartment at the address Moscow, st. Vostochnaya, 13. For obvious reasons, I can’t show you the apartment number.

1. Go to EGRN.Register . Technical support: 8 800 555-28-96 (from 9.00 to 21.00 Moscow time); [email protected] . You can also ask me questions in the comments, but keep in mind that I am not the owner of the service, I only use it in my work.

How to find out your share in a privatized apartment

In the Russian Federation, apartments belong to the state or the owners. In the first case there is always one owner, while in the second there can be many owners. Each of them has their own share of ownership. Owners have the right to dispose of shares, but with restrictions, because the law strictly ensures that the interests of all citizens are respected.

If it is planned to sell a share, each co-owner must give consent. In addition, each owner has a priority right to repurchase; only after their refusal, other citizens can purchase part of the property.

To obtain information, you must request an extract from the Unified State Register, which will indicate all the information on the shares.

Why know the owners' shares?

Users often ask how to find out the shares of apartment owners ? This information is important at the time of action with real estate. Otherwise, buyers may encounter the following difficulties:

• The owner is a minor. To sell his share, it is necessary to obtain permission from the guardianship authorities. Consent is given only if the minor receives similar or improved housing. Lack of agreement leads to cancellation of the transaction.
• The owner is incompetent. His legal representative must be present at the transaction. Otherwise, the deal is disputed.
• The owner is serving his sentence in prison. A citizen who is in prison is discharged from the apartment, but does not cease to be its owner. After returning, he can challenge the deal.

What you need to know about shares

The property is divided between the owners in equal shares. Information on the object as a whole is entered into the register, but with an indication of the share of each owner. An extract from the Unified State Register is issued for the entire apartment or its share.

It is quite possible to sell only part of the property to a third party, but actually doing this is quite difficult. For example, how to sell ¼ of a two-room apartment? The co-owners of the property are unlikely to take this step.

Extract from the Unified State Register of Real Estate

If you are wondering how to find out the shares of apartment owners , then the answer is quite simple. It is necessary to order an extract from the Unified State Register of Real Estate. The register contains all information about real estate in the Russian Federation. Any citizen of the Russian Federation can submit a request.

You can order a document from Rosreestr, through the MFC, on the Rosreestr website or online. The last method is the most accessible and simple. The applicant receives the document electronically and it will only take a few hours. All information about shares is completely true.

The electronic extract from the Unified State Register itself has the same legal force as the paper version.

The extract from the Unified State Register provides the following information:

• Location of the object, its area and cadastral number;
• Type of ownership;
• Information about all owners;
• Presence of restrictions and encumbrances.

Thanks to an extract from the Unified State Register of Real Estate, you can confirm the size of your share or obtain information about the object. You can order a document on our website using a special form. You are required to provide minimum information about the property and submit your request.

The approval of the guardianship authorities is also necessary if you decide to sell a privatized apartment with a minor child. This is done to ensure that the interests of the minor are not infringed;

How to find out what share in the apartment belongs to me

Hello! This is our 3rd apartment, bought when my father and mother were married. After the divorce, my mother left and didn’t take anything. My father and I are registered in it. I know that when I bought it, my dad privatized 1 room for himself. 2 years ago I privatized it for yourself 1 more room.

I have a document for it. We have two different payment accounts. As far as I know, I have most of it. My father won’t give me the documents. I want to hand over my half myself, but he’s making trouble.

How can I find out what my share is in the apartment? And does my mother have any rights to the apartment?

Finding out whether you own any share in this apartment is simple - with a passport, apartment address and a receipt for payment of the fee (200 rubles), contact any branch of Rosreestre in Moscow, write an application for the provision of information from the Unified State Register and within a week you will receive answer.

How to refuse a share in a privatized apartment

• permission to carry out the procedure (donation, sale) from other owners, certified by a notary;
• privatization document;
• documents confirming ownership (certificate);
• technical documentation for real estate;
• an extract from the house register or a certificate of residence of persons who also have a share;
• documents of the participants in the process;
• a gift or sale agreement written in any form, but certified by a notary;
• receipts for payment of state duty in case of sale of a share;

The legislation makes it possible to refuse at any stage during privatization or in an already privatized apartment.

How is a privatized apartment divided by inheritance and will?

Co-owners should contact a notary and draw up an agreement on the division of joint property.

This agreement specifies the size of the share of each owner - the shares may be unequal if the co-owners have reached an agreement on this.

If the will does not directly indicate relatives (even the closest ones), they are not called upon to inherit. The exception is for persons entitled to an obligatory share in the inheritance. They are a disabled husband or wife, parents, minor children - they have the right to half of their legal share, even if they were deprived of any share by a will.

Sell ​​a share in a privatized apartment

First, you need to understand whether the other owners of the privatized apartment want to buy it? And is it profitable for them to buy your share? Is it possible to create conditions under which the remaining owners will want to buy your share of the apartment at a price higher than the market price? If not, you will have to sell the share cheaper, and possibly to third parties. Moreover, the price for selling the share to the party must be no less than what was offered to the co-owners.

In the privatization agreements of the very first years (1992-1993), the transfer of property was written without specifying shares. Because of this, citizens are now having problems: they seem to have a share, but their size is not indicated.

Of course, if there is a dispute, they will be considered equal. The same will happen when inheriting a share in an apartment under such an agreement (the notary will consider the shares equal).

Although you can sign an agreement on a different size of shares.

How to find out the size of the share of the owners of an apartment or house

It happens that an apartment belongs to several co-owners. In this case, ownership of the apartment is divided into shares.

Shared ownership is common ownership of an apartment (residential building), when shares are expressed as an ordinary fraction.

For example, 1/2, 1/5, 96/100, etc. The shares can be either equal (1/2, 1/3, 1/6 each) or completely different. For example, 2 owners may own 3/100 and 97/100, respectively.

Shares in ownership are not parts of the apartment

Please note that shares are shares in the ownership , but shares in the apartment itself. In other words, if 2 co-owners each have 1/2 shares in a 2-room apartment, this does not mean that one belongs to one room, and the other to another.

A share in ownership is an abstract concept that divides the right , and not the apartment itself.

Therefore, based on the size of the share, it is impossible to calculate in proportion how many specific square meters belong to a particular apartment owner. For example, if 2 co-owners each have 1/2 shares in a 1-room apartment measuring 42 meters, this does not mean that both of them own exactly 21 sq.m.

This follows from the provisions of civil legislation, which states that each owner (regardless of the size of the share) has equal rights as other owners.

Checking the size of the share in ownership

The size of the owner's share can be found out without his knowledge. It's completely legal and simple.

For such a check, you need to order an extract from the Unified State Register of Real Estate about the property - the Unified State Register of Real Estate.

Also, shares in ownership will be indicated if you order an extract from the Unified State Register of Rights on the transfer of rights. In addition, this document will indicate all previous owners, if any.

How to find out the owner's share in an apartment?

Buying an apartment involves a number of difficulties . They relate not only to the difficulties with choosing a real estate option, but also to its features.

A person interested in real estate should inquire about its legal owners. How to recognize them?

• pay the state fee;
• sign a statement about the need to issue a certificate of a certain type;
• wait for the paper to be issued.

 

You can contact the MFC, State Services, Cadastral Register and Rosreestr. The time frame for document generation will be no more than 5 working days . To avoid mistakes, you need to find out in advance the exact address of the real estate or its registration number.

 

What information will the extract from the Unified State Register contain?

 

The information provided in the certificate will be current at the time of its issuance. The document contains :

• complete information about the person who placed the order for the certificate;
• serial number of the extract;
• the exact date of its formation;
• place of registration of the requested immovable property;
• the purpose of the apartment and its actual address;
• general information about real estate: registration number in the cadastre, area, etc.;
• features of the right of ownership of the object;

• purchasing a share of an apartment owned by a minor child;
• acquiring part of the property that belongs to an incapacitated person;
• purchasing a share of property owned by a person currently in prison.

How to find out the shares of apartment owners

In the Russian Federation, apartments belong to the state or the owners. In the first case there is always one owner, while in the second there can be many owners. Each of them has their own share of ownership. Owners have the right to dispose of shares, but with restrictions, because the law strictly ensures that the interests of all citizens are respected.

If it is planned to sell a share, each co-owner must give consent. In addition, each owner has a priority right to repurchase; only after their refusal, other citizens can purchase part of the property.

To obtain information, you must request an extract from the Unified State Register, which will indicate all the information on the shares.

Why know the owners' shares?

Users often ask how to find out the shares of apartment owners ? This information is important at the time of action with real estate. Otherwise, buyers may encounter the following difficulties:

• The owner is a minor. To sell his share, it is necessary to obtain permission from the guardianship authorities. Consent is given only if the minor receives similar or improved housing. Lack of agreement leads to cancellation of the transaction.
• The owner is incompetent. His legal representative must be present at the transaction. Otherwise, the deal is disputed.
• The owner is serving his sentence in prison. A citizen who is in prison is discharged from the apartment, but does not cease to be its owner. After returning, he can challenge the deal.

What you need to know about shares

The property is divided between the owners in equal shares. Information on the object as a whole is entered into the register, but with an indication of the share of each owner. An extract from the Unified State Register is issued for the entire apartment or its share.
