Notwithstanding the deadline for delivery of the property, if the transfer is delayed for reasonable reasons confirmed by the company (seller), the Seller will receive an additional period of 1 (one) month, without penalty.

If the Seller, in the absence of the above reasons or force majeure, does not insure the apartment on time, then he undertakes to pay the buyer rent for the period of delay or provide the apartment for living for this period.

In cases where the delay is caused by force majeure, the above obligations are invalid. The seller has the right not to pay the fee.

Circumstances of force majeure include natural disasters, general epidemics, announcements of partial or general mobilization, and legal restrictions on construction. The period from the date of occurrence of force majeure circumstances to the date of their completion shall be added to the date of transfer. The Seller must inform the Buyer of the indicated circumstances of force majeure.

If the seller decides not to sell the said apartment to the Buyer, or not to complete the building without a valid reason, then he is obliged to return to the Buyer the amount received from the Buyer in full on the basis of payment receipts. In addition, the Seller is obliged to pay an additional 10% of the amount paid to him, as a penalty, which is always prescribed by the sales contract.

Some construction companies offer interest-free installments with different conditions, which directly depend on the price of the property, the amount of the initial payment, and the construction phase of the complex. The initial payment is at least 30% of the cost of the apartment, and the repayment installment from six months to 3 years. Buying an apartment at a very early stage of construction gives you the opportunity to get the most favorable repayment terms.

When asked about renting an apartment you plan to buy, we always advise you to look at the situation through the eyes of a potential guest: do you want to spend your well-deserved, long-awaited vacation in such an apartment?

For example, you bought an apartment in a complex being built in Kargicak. As a guest, you will notice a small area of ​​the apartment and a considerable distance from the sea - in summer 1.5 km on foot to the sea in the sun turns into 5 km, and this is not a good option for older people or families with small children. Another option is a cheap second-hand apartment in an older building. It seems that it is not far from the sea, 200-400 meters, but there is no infrastructure, the outdoor pool is not maintained, noisy neighbors, the condition of the apartment, appliances, and furniture in it is also far from new. Of course, there are undemanding tenants, but it is difficult to count on a large rental income.

However, if you buy an apartment near the beach, in a complex with good and well-maintained infrastructure, new furniture. Of course, such an apartment is much more expensive, but you will be able to rent it out much easier and for a higher price.

There are two types of ISKAN: General Iskan and Personal Iskan. General Iskan is a technical document for construction.

Private Iskan for apartments that the owner buys together with Tapu, and is also needed for new electricity and water registrations.
