This concept is relatively new in the real estate market. It came from the West, where it is used quite actively. In Russia, the apartments imply a separate accommodation with an area of \u200b\u200bat least 40 square meters, consisting of at least two rooms, as well as kitchens and a bathroom.

The global real estate market has 4 types of apartments: a room in an apart hotel, a room in a hotel room, a room in condominium, as well as apartments in multifunctional complexes.

Consider each of them Read more:

• A room in the aparthotel is available for a short time. It is at least one, one-bedroom and is equipped with a bathroom and kitchen. Hotel service may also be present;
• Rooms in profits are rented at a much longer period. In addition, the lease also includes the use of additional service, which includes food, cleaning, guarding, etc.;
• Rooms in the condominium hotel not only surrender within the hotel business, but also can be redeemed for permanent residence;
• Apartments in multifunctional complexes are not used in the hotel or hotel sphere. This type of housing is intended exclusively for sale. It is a full-fledged residential object, and therefore you can register.

The apartments have the following advantages for developers, investors, developers and buyers:

• This type of housing does not apply to the construction of residential facilities. For this reason, developers are trying to initially observe all the conditions during construction, in order to their home, it was suitable for living and to further use it in the field of commercial real estate trade. For the same reason, the apartments are erected in large skyscrapers located in the central part of megacities;
• The developers are much more convenient to work with this type of housing, as in this case it is much easier to obtain permission to build on the territory, in the past who had the status of industrial. If, in the case of the construction of residential facilities, such a permit is very difficult, and sometimes it is impossible at all, then in a situation with a commercial building (where the apartments will be located), it is many times easier;
• Investors in the apartment attracts the possibility of further receipt of stable rental income.

Buyers have at once three undoubted advantages from the apartment:

• Their cost in the ratio with the location and the equipment is absolutely all the necessary communications;
• Location in business centers, elite skyscrapers and similar objects;
• In most countries, the apartments prices are much lower than the cost of the apartment in a new building with the same metrability and functionality.

The apartments located in multifunctional complexes continue to rapidly expand on the Russian real estate market.

Today they occupy about 18% of new buildings. However, this indicator looks insignificant compared to other countries where apartments are concentrated almost everywhere.

The most vivid representatives of these countries are Greece, Italy, USA and Spain. According to international format, apartments must be divided by classes. This class is assigned, based on the quality of the construction of the complex and the apartments area. Total classes data 4: A, B, C and Suite.

Class A is a studio.Such an object is one large room combined with a kitchen. The area of \u200b\u200bsuch an object is about 50 square meters. This object is in great demand among lonely people, as well as young couples. Metropolitan class A apartments are estimated at about 41,000 rubles / month.

Class V Such apartments are two / three-bedroom rooms having a separate kitchen and a bathroom. Such apartments are ideal for living a large family or group of students. Most popular in Italy and Spain.

Class C is assigned to multicline objects with an area of \u200b\u200babout 100 square meters. This class apartment has the smallest popularity among investors, as leasing objects, however, large families who want to live in the city center, these premises choose more than others.

Lux class. This class apartments are like a chic penthouse at the very top of the skyscraper and the personal villa on the coast. These apartments from all previously distinguishes the availability of an additional service like protection, restaurant, entertainment, etc.

Apartments: What do they differ from the apartment?

The key honors from apartments from apartments is the presence of housing "status". The apartments are temporary housing, although they have a standard set of facilities and communications.

This type of housing is able to provide its tenants with a generally accepted level of comfort, being an analogue of the hotel room, but it does not have a complete set of qualities and characteristics that are necessary for full residence. Therefore, the owners of the apartments have the smallest list of legal guarantees and benefits.

Let us consider in more detail the other criteria differences between apartments and apartments through the prism of the Russian real estate market.

Possibility of registration and legal status

According to Russian legal norms, legally, apartments cannot be recognized as a full housing. Regarding such housing and get registration at the place of residence is impossible under any circumstances.

Does not change this rule even the availability of documentation confirming the right of ownership. You can get a temporary recruitment in the apartment, however, it is real only if they are located in a building that is an apart-hotel or hotel.

Social infrastructure development level

This difference directly affects the construction near apartments of heterogeneous complexes and other social sphere facilities aimed at ensuring the comfortable stay of the apartment of the apartments in the surrounding area. The list of such objects make up children's preschool educational and educational institutions, hospitals, etc.

Companies engaged in apart-hotels have obligations to provide apartment owners with social infrastructure.

Therefore, there is a considerable risk to buy apartments in a residential area not only without social infrastructure, but without any prospects for its occurrence.

Developers, as a rule, always promise its early development, however, in fact, these promises are not always carried out.

The cost of housing

One of the most important advantages of the apartment is their low cost in comparison with apartments. This is due to the fact that there are absolutely no obligations on the development and expansion of social infrastructure in the area where aparthotel will be built.

However, now the legislative bodies prepare a number of legal regulatory instructions, which will impose these obligations on developers of the apartment.

Nevertheless, today this law is not accepted, and therefore the price per square meter in the apartment is less than 10-15% (depending on the level of comfortable housing, as well as the area where it is located) than the square meter of the apartment.

The size of rent

If you repelly exclusively from this criterion, the purchase of an apartment will be more profitable for the purchase of apartments. The fact is that the amount of utility bills in the apartment is significantly higher than in apartments, for the reason that in the case of the first, the value added tax is additionally charged.

As a rule, the difference is 18%, but if we consider it in detail each tariff for a separate utility service, then the difference in the amount of payment will be even higher. In particular, it concerns the payment of cold and hot water, sewage, heating and other utilities.

Additional complications in the situation arise if the housing communications of apart-hotels connect to urban networks with mediation organizations that, of course, take an additional interest for their work.

No benefits and subsidies for utility bills

A significant minus for the apartments is the absolute lack of rights to use subsidies and benefits to pay housing communications if the size of the monthly income of the owner of such housing does not reach the established norm. However, the lower cost of the apartment, in comparison with the apartments, successfully leverals this drawback.

Expected rise in the size of the tax value for apartment living space

It is reported that Russian legislation will soon be replenished with law, raising the amount of the tax rate on non-residential real estate. The rise is expected by 0.5%. Regarding apartments, today it is 0.1%.

Situation with the common property of the apartment hotel

The Housing Code of the Russian Federation states that the share responsibility for technical premises located in high-rise buildings is equal to all its tenants. But the owners of the apartments in this document does not matter.

Thus, there is quite suitable soil for unscrupulous developers, who, using their priority position (in fact, they become monopolists), impose their services of this kind of residents. And, of course, they will establish a significantly overestimated tariff, since there is simply no alternatives.

The inability to create a home owner partnership

For the reason that the apartments do not have the legal status of residential premises, their owners cannot legally create a HOA in order to share one or other housing problems. But the law does not prohibit the creation of any similar forms of partnerships pursuing the same goals.
