Selling a room is usually accompanied by a bit more inconvenience than selling an apartment. In addition to collecting all the documents, it will also require the neighbors to refuse to buy a room. But it’s still possible to sell the room, even if the neighbors push back and do not want to write an official refusal.
It is much easier to sell a dormitory room if you have a certificate for it, that is, the ownership of this room is registered. In this case, the consent of the neighbors is not required. According to Art. 250 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation "good" to complete a transaction is necessary if you own a share. And by law, the same interest holders, like you, have a preemptive right to purchase.
How to sell a room in an apartment
First find out who owns the neighboring rooms. From owners it is necessary to obtain a waiver of first-hand rights. If the next room is not privatized, then its owner is the municipality or another organization. To sell a room in this case, for failure you will have to go to the city committee on housing policy.
There are two main options for obtaining a waiver of pre-emptive rights. The first is to invite all owners to a notary public and issue official refusals there. You have to pay for it. The second is to collect all the owners in the registration chamber when you submit documents for the state registration of the transaction, where your neighbors will write official refusals at the reception.
Sometimes both of these methods are absolutely unsuitable. For example, a neighbor has lost a passport or lives in another region. Sometimes there are a lot of owners and it is simply unrealistic to collect all of them in one place. What needs to be done before selling a room?
There is another legitimate way out of the situation. You need to notify all owners in writing of their intention to sell the room. Be sure to include in the letter the exact details of the person you are contacting; surname, name and patronymic, exact address, room number and area. All your data should also be complete. In the text of the notice, the amount that you plan to receive for the sale of the room, the basis for owning the room - the purchase and sale agreement (gift, exchange) and the details of the document confirming your property must be announced. And most importantly - clearly and clearly write to the owner of the next room an offer to use the preemptive right to purchase. And at the end of the notice, add the phrase "I am notifying you in advance that circumstances have pushed me to sell the room so that I will not agree to a reduction in the price, or to grant a deferment, or an installment plan."
There are several rules for sending a notification. Print the notice in duplicate and sign them. Send one copy to the neighbor by
registered letter with a notification to the address of the room that is being sold, and leave the second signed copy to yourself. Be sure to draw up the mail registry in two copies, on each of which the mail worker must sign that he received registered letters, and put a stamp. Repeat this process for each owner.
If you do not get consent or rejection from the owners of the neighboring rooms, do not worry. 30 days after sending notifications established by law, you can sell the room to anyone you want. Properly documented neighbors' notifications will allow the transaction. For UFRS they will be considered as sufficient.
