Extract from the home book

In accordance with the law, in any transactions related to residential real estate, there must be an extract from the house book. At the word "book" many people have an association with a voluminous volume. In fact, although this is possible, it practically does not occur. Usually the house book looks like a magazine format A4 with 10-20 pages.

First appeared in the 18th century, the house book, as an administrative document, existed without significant changes to the present day. The difference is that if earlier it was indicated by the name. (Including dates of entry and discharge), positions held, residence address and family information, but now the list has changed: for example, the title of the post has disappeared, but a detailed description of the property itself has been added. Especially it is convenient for owners of private houses: the book provides a floor plan of housing with the exact size of the rooms, the location of each stationary plumbing appliance, the thickness of the walls, their material and even the width of window and door openings.

Extract from the house book, in particular, allows you to unambiguously deal with issues of ownership of housing. It is worth noting that since 2011 in some countries of the former Soviet Union this document was abolished in order to reduce the number of documents in state institutions.

An extract from the house book is necessary when buying, exchanging and selling real estate, the tenants of which are its owners and this is indicated in this document.

Especially popular question on the Internet: "Where is the house book"? It depends on the type of housing: in the case of a private house, it is kept by the owner, but residents of the public sector (apartments in high-rise buildings) can not worry about its safety - such documents are in the Housing and Utilities Department. In the light of the above, the answer to the accompanying question "where to get an extract from the house book" is obvious.

Now let us dwell on some important points in more detail. If the book is "on hand", you can get a copy of it free of charge from the passport office or BTI (individually in each city, country). It is also permissible to use the paid services of a notary.

The application forms are filled out according to the sample, the following documents are attached to it: a passport (birth certificate) of each resident registered in the house and a certificate from BTI about the right of ownership of this real estate. That's all. If everything is normal, the statement is issued immediately. With nuances, the receipt can be delayed. It is important to remember two things: to confirm that your property is; To provide passports of all the registered (indirect consent with operations). The validity of the statement is limited to one calendar month, after which you will have to take a new one.

Since the book is a document, in real estate transactions it remains with the owner or in the housing organization, and all the necessary data is provided by an extract from the house book. It can be compared with a notarized copy of a passport.

At purchase of habitation the archival extract from the house book gets special urgency. What is this and what is different from the usual? Everything is simple enough: suppose that real estate is being bought on the secondary market. The buyer, who wants to secure the transaction, must necessarily familiarize himself with the extended version of the extract from the house book. It shows all the operations for residence / discharge, starting from the date of delivery of housing and the very first owners. And since the registration is carried out together with the presentation of the passport, you can find out all the data about the tenants in the archived extract. A careful study of these data will help to prevent such an unpleasant situation, as the emergence of the owner, who was registered, for example, even before the second owners, but then disappeared somewhere.
