Buying an apartment, has the right to know how long will last him the house itself, and what are the costs of its operation are paired. For example, how much will have to pay for the repair. However, rarely people care about such details. Future tenants act according to the rule: came — saw — bought. Unless, of course, incomes allow. However, experts of the Union of Russian consumers believe that the service life of residential apartment buildings need to do a mandatory standard in the construction industry. A letter sent to the Ministry by the Chairman of the Union Peter Shelishch. What it “threatens” buyers and sellers of apartments, said our experts.
when Choosing an apartment in the old Fund, the buyer can see whether the house in the rebuild, what work and when, will be held in the house — this information public, not to mention the information about whether the house is in a renovation programme. As regards new buildings, in recent decades the industry has made good progress. On the change panel model series, widely available on the market back in 2000-e years, came monolithic houses that differ in maximum lifetime among all types of housing — about 150 years.
— People who are buying an apartment, even a mortgage for 20 years, seldom look for such horizons, — the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the company “BEST new Building” Irina Dobrokhotova. — Banks give a mortgage for 15-20 years even under the pledge of an apartment in the old prefabricated homes, although there may be a little higher insurance. About the same time, few buyers think, as a basic criterion of housing choice (especially if we are talking about mass market) — the budget purchases: how much I spend here and now.
the Developer would not guarantee the safety of the house for 100 years. The law stipulates that in new buildings the removal of defects is only guaranteed for 5 years after entering the house in operation, then — the care management company. And even if the new standard will require the developer to specify the lifetime of the house, fundamentally something is unlikely to change. In any case, the cost per square meter will not rise.
Managing Director of the company “Metrium” (a participant in the affiliate network of CBRE) Hope Korkka believes that in General the introduction of a clear regulation from the point of view of the “shelf life” of new housing is very important. “On the one hand, will be sharply reduced requirements in terms of building codes for new housing, one-third of the items will become Advisory in nature, — says the expert. — And on the other hand, the responsibility of homeowners, especially financially, is increasing (though it is worth remembering the contributions for capital repair). In this economic environment yet does not promise rapid growth in incomes, �� this means that turnover in the housing market will be slow. More common practice would be the lives of several generations of a family in the same house. Therefore, the question of the suitability of housing for long-term use will be relevant.”
— the Situation in the construction industry are now quite different than few decades ago. In particular, it concerns a panel series, which yielded the leadership of the monolithic homes, but continued to improve, — said General Director of the management company “Development” Igor residents of Kozelsk. Modern prefabricated houses differ in the tightness of joints, quality heat and sound insulation, long service life. I think from the point of view of the buyer of apartment in a new building, the difference is not essential, especially given the fact that in Moscow almost 40% of the apartments comfort – and business-class people acquire at the age of 30-40 years, 25% aged 40-50 years. That is, in any case, the building will serve not one, but many generations before they become an emergency in the building. Therefore, information on the term of service is unlikely to play a significant role when choosing a project.
the Initiative will not have a significant impact on the real estate market and the cost of apartments will not increase: the new standard rather fix the current situation, says commercial Director of the group “homeland” Ksenia Yuryeva. “Almost 90% of apartments sold in monolithic and monolithic-brick houses, and on panel accounts for about 10%. Of course, it is possible that the life of the house will become another benchmark for buyers, however, is not the place to put this indicator on the same level with cost per square meter. The main selection criteria of new buildings in any case remain the location, value for money and the quality and reputation of the developer”, — says the expert.
