Despite the popularity of new buildings, such housing requires serious repair costs. As practice shows, you can’t immediately call here and live. What is it connected with?
Shrinkage
It’s no secret that new structures give a serious shrinkage. This applies even to monolithic buildings. Here, much will depend on local geology. The bias in the framework of acceptable values and does not have any impact on the durability of the house itself, is able to deliver a huge number of problems to tenants. For example, in the case of the apex of the 22-storey for ten centimeters, everything that you will disperse in the kitchen will flow under furniture.
That is why, giving preference to apartments in a new building, it is not recommended to rush. Initially, it is worth carrying out simple and cheap repairs. It is necessary to bring housing to an ideal state and celebrate a housewarming party no earlier than one to two years after purchase. This is also useful that this decision provides an opportunity to accumulate money, think over the future interior and many other nuances.
Legal nuances
Another significant reason why you should not rush with the repair of a new building, it is believed that some shortfalls should be eliminated by a contractor, not residents. We should not forget that at the time of acceptance of housing you must:
Get an apartment registration certificate.
Fill out a sheet of inspection where it is necessary to describe the defects found (a slight cross -section of the wiring, uneven walls, etc.).
If you begin to sign the acceptance certificate without this, then any flaws made at the construction stage will remain in your account.
As practice shows, for verification you can use a typical observation sheet. However, you can draw up such a document in any form. In accordance with applicable law, this does not matter much.
If the contractor signed under the observation sheet, then the correction of any defects can be required throughout the guarantee for housing. However, this is possible under a certain condition. It is important that no serious construction and repair work is carried out there – only light cosmetic repair.
It is advisable to invite independent experts to accept housing – qualified builders. They will probably be able to notice the slightest defects, and also help to avoid many problems.
