The few owners of standard and compact flats like layout. Very limited kitchen space, bathroom or unnecessary barriers – the most common causes of unhappiness. Especially today, when there is an opportunity to create a unique and individual interior design. This applies not only to the residents of Khrushchev. Owners of the new modern housing is also frequently want to rebuild it, based on personal preferences do not always meet building regulations.
Not always creating a new interior is possible without redevelopment areas. However, any changes are very difficult and troublesome thing. This is connected not only with the construction activities, but first and foremost is the registration of various documents. So, before you begin repair work associated with the redevelopment it is better to first explore all the features of the process of preparation and coordination.
The need for harmonization of redevelopment ↑
Any repair, especially the capital with a significant change of premises, it is better to start with a definition of their plans and desires (what is going to change, divide or combine rooms, move walls, make new openings). It must be done, though, because in the future when conducting any real estate transactions have a problem, and in addition will be imposed with a considerable fine. But this will not solve the problem of the legal registration coordination.
But the matching redevelopment apartment it is necessary in order to exclude even the possibility of tragedy. There are cases when unauthorized restructuring caused discomfort to neighbours and even leads to tragedy.
Very often the owners are trying to increase the kitchen area due to the shared ventilation shaft. This leads to the fact that the tenants of the lower floors have problems with the flow of fresh air.
Some residents of the upper floors trying to build permanent concrete walls. But the result is the collapse of the floors, are not designed for this load. In the best case, only complete collapse, no casualties.

The procedure of approval of redevelopment apartment ↑
If the repair changes to the layout solved the issue, we need to prepare the project and to coordinate it.
The creation of the project responsible step, therefore, requires special knowledge. Entrust the drafting of a professional office. If this possibility for some reason is missing, look for ready-made model projects that match your needs, but having official approval.

What to do if the result of matching is negative? In this case, you must be very serious reasons, that is prepared by the redevelopment project does not meet construction standards and legislation. In fact, if you do not agree with the Commission’s decision, you can appeal it in court.

Some useful tips ↑
A few important points that you need to pay attention.
First, when buying a home be sure to check the technical passport. The floor plan in the passport must match the layout of the apartment, otherwise you will have to get the approval in court, because now you are the owner of the premises. Only then you will be able to register the transaction with the purchased housing.
Secondly, any alterations made should not pose a threat to the life or health of neighbors.
Thirdly, according to the housing legislation all illegal actions to redevelop the premises needs to be fixed. In other words I will have to rebuild the layout according to the data sheet. And in those cases where the court refused to legitimize redevelopment, the owners will terminate the agreement of social hiring the apartment. It can be sold or transferred to other owners. It happens very rarely, only if the redesign is a real threat living in the apartment and their neighbors.
Before you begin the repair, especially the capital by moving walls or changing floor space, consult with experts, if you can’t say with certainty that redevelopment is not planned. Not worth the risk, because as a result of unauthorized alterations to the premises will give you a lot of problems associated with the loss of money, time and nerves.
