“There are many questions about how to reflect data on the acquisition of real estate through participation in shared construction in certificates. In practice, there are cases when the period from the date of payment in the full amount of funds following the equity agreement until the signing by the parties of the deed of transfer or another document on the transfer of the shared construction object and its state registration can be more than a year,” said, in particular, Olga Miller. “In this regard, information about the developer’s property obligations as of the reporting date to the participant in shared construction, which, following the share participation agreement, fulfilled the obligations to pay the full cost of the object to be transferred, shall be reflected in subsection 6.2 of section 6 of the certificate.”
In conclusion, the speaker reminded the participants of the seminar about the prohibitions and restrictions associated with civil service.
