Location

One of the most important aspects, of course, is the location of future homes. Here there are many pitfalls. Even perfect, at first glance, the place can conceal a lot of unpleasant things. The greatest danger is represented by objects located in the vicinity of the site. Ivan Shulkov, department director of investment consulting and analytics company "Manor" advises in the first place to look for the following objects in the immediate vicinity of the village:

• Airport. Air transport corridors.
• Large industrial and CHP.
• traffic routes and railway line.
• Logistic centers.
• Landfill (municipal solid waste - approx. Edition), incineration plant.
• Cemeteries, cattle cemetery.
• Sewage treatment plants.
• Livestock and poultry enterprises with farming.
• High voltage power lines, radar, towers cellular operators.

The presence of at least one of these objects can greatly spoil the pleasure of country life. Hope Grebennikov, head of the company's projects "TERRA-estate", sees the location of the village of another danger: "There should not be too strong a height difference. This is inconvenient for residents and may cause problems with drainage area. The second limitation - low-lying, because on such areas will be high humidity, which can pose a risk to health. Also likely is swamping the territory.

As for the aspects that increase the level of comfortable living, then it can be attributed to the presence of such "natural wealth", as forest and water body, regardless of what he represents. This may be a pond and creek, river and reservoir.

Quality construction

Now, most homes are bought at the stage of construction. This makes it possible to control the process of building, use your engineering supervision, ie can help you avoid low-quality building materials, to track the quality and construction time. But here, you may encounter some difficulties, says Elena Pervakova, head of the country real estate luxury real estate agency TWEED: «Typically, developers do not welcome when customers check the quality of construction and are generally not allowed to do so in the process. Perhaps this is correct, because additional control may delay the construction indefinitely. In addition, the client will receive when buying a house on the act of reception and transmission. And just at that moment, he can hire experts to raise all the documentation for the construction and if it is not satisfied with the quality, according to the law (Federal Law of February 7, 1992 № 2300-I «On Protection of Consumer Rights" - approx. Editorial ) request to eliminate the defects or even abandon the purchase of the object. This situation is completely normal. With Helen Pervakovoy agrees and Maria Litinetckii, CEO of Blackwood: «In general, the developer can not prohibit the buyer to monitor the progress of construction, however, influence its course it will be difficult. This may be due to the design features of the object in the property before the end of construction when the purchaser is not the owner of the plot and therefore has no legal right to be in the area. Despite the fact that the experts see some difficulties in the possibility of monitoring the quality of construction, yet it is not necessary immediately to retreat. As is known, the customer is always right.

If you are lucky, and you are allowed to monitor the construction process, we recommend that, first of all, pay attention to the culture of construction. Its absence can be seen with the naked eye: the lack of normal access for construction equipment, dump construction debris at the site. A good contractor will never allow himself to such things.

Infrastructure

Certain requirements for one or the other infrastructure in the area does not exist. The builder, as a rule, advance claims about what facilities will be built in the village, thus attracting the attention of buyers to your project. Buying a country house, you need to clearly understand the purposes for which it will be used - for permanent, seasonal or as a weekend home. Depending on this you can make claims to the availability of infrastructural facilities. Traditionally, in any town there are items such as guest parking, security, office maintenance, children's and sports grounds. According to Mary Litinetckii, all that is beyond the scope of this list, increases the cost of homes. "To date, the requirements for infrastructure facilities vnutriposelkovoy people have different and depend on the amount of money that the client is willing to spend on a house. In the high-budget clients are usually more demanding on the infrastructure of the village. In selecting the village economy-class potential buyers pay less attention to this aspect ", - she said. Although what the infrastructure and the extent to which alleged in a newly built village, their presence is necessary to prescribe in the contract of sale. Unfortunately, not all developers are ready for this step. But if you want to insure themselves against the fact that the developer of the project eventually decided to abandon the construction of the fitness center or spa, you have every right to insist that you specify in the agreement of all the objects vnutreposelkovoy infrastructure.

Communications

If one or the other infrastructure may vary depending on the village, then to the communications makes more strict requirements, says Elena Pervakova: "There should be a good township roads that can disperse 2 cars, with sidewalks for pedestrians. Must be the presence of stormwater. If it is not, then after the rain the roads will accumulate a lot of water. We certainly should be laid network, namely, electricity, sewerage, gas, made vnutriposelkovoe lighting.

Usually, the presence of communication problems arise, difficulties may occur in the other - not uncommon when the laying of roads, installation of fire hydrants, placing storm sewer violated State Standards and SNIP.

This point needs to be monitored even during the construction phase, otherwise, the supervisory authorities represented by the SEA or fire will not make claims to the developers, but to the summer community, of which will be you. According to the Director-General RODEX Development Valery Mishchenko, in order to avoid problems is to contact the experts: "For these procedures, the purchaser must engage the service of technical supervision of construction or independent experts. In case of violation of standards, and does not address their main contractor, the purchaser may, in consequence of the exercise of these fixes, but at their own expense. He also noted that all the networks necessarily need to prescribe in the contract. If the seller refuses to do so, it makes sense to abandon the purchase and find a more suitable option.

Land category

Many experts believe that the first thing you should pay attention when buying a country house - a category of permitted land use area. It is important to ascertain whether the land is owned by the developer, in which category the land was in the time of purchase, whether there would be translated into what category and what type of use permitted. Valery Mishchenko advised not to leave this factor is ignored: "This is primarily for compliance with the law of the land development of residential real estate, as well as for understanding the opportunities to be registered in a given household in the future." The problem of registration concerned and Mary Litinetckii, CEO of Blackwood: «Categories of permitted land use affects only the ease of registration: in the category" under the country construction "to be registered more difficult because there is no clearly established procedure."

Long-term construction

Recently we have witnessed many cases of people who bought the property, faced with a flagrant violation of the terms of construction, and even its complete cessation. The problem of "co-investors defrauded" more characteristic of urban housing, but also out of town no one is immune. In order to understand how realistic the completion of construction in the time span, you need to learn the history and reputation of the company's developer, says Elena Pervakova. "It plays a major role reputation builder. First, it is necessary to make inquiries, that the company which built the facility. If the construction of settlements, constructed previously, the developer had not caused any problems and keep the time, we may assume that a certain guarantee in the future ", - she said. Important role played by the financial health of the company-builder. Lack of funds for the continuation of construction can significantly affect the timing. However, not all companies are ready to demonstrate their accountability, "says Ivan Shulkov, department director of investment consulting and analytics company" Manor ":" Determine the exact financial condition could only be from those companies, builders, which are public, that is conducted IPO. Unfortunately, companies engaged in the construction of a villa, openly publish financial statements a little. In our country, in principle, it is difficult to be in something 100% sure, and even if you contract with a major company that has worked in the market town real estate, that require a separate penalty clause for breach of contract relating to delinquency stages of construction and completion date.

Unfortunately, even the knowledge of all the pitfalls encountered in the process of buying a country house, can not give you full confidence that you will get exactly what they wanted originally. So finally I would like to give one more advice. Do not rely on their knowledge of the market in buying, contact a professional realtor. Only real professionals, who devoted many years studying the market town real estate can help you avoid mistakes in the choice and enjoy a carefree stay away from the urban bustle.
