The expert warned about a decrease in the cost of apartments with illegal redevelopment

Resale housing with redevelopment costs on average six percent less than apartments without changes. Alexandra Kortysheva, general director and cadastral engineer of Central Cadastral Agency LLC, warned about this in an interview with Gazeta.Ru.

The expert emphasized that if the redevelopment is carried out with violations, the loss in price can reach 30 percent. The greatest damage is caused by moving gas or batteries to the balcony: such work is prohibited, so the new owner will have to return the apartment to its original form. The price is also greatly reduced by interference in the supporting structures, which poses a threat to the entire house.

In addition, you cannot place “wet zones” above living rooms, combine the kitchen with the living room if there is a gas stove, and attach a loggia to the room by removing the window block.
