The Supreme Court has approved a thematic review on unauthorised buildings. A comment by Consul Group managing partner Sergei Pivovarchik, for RBC Real Estate.
Three conclusions for owners of commercial property:
1. Demolition remains a measure of last resort. The absence of a building permit is not, by itself, a verdict.
2. Identifying unauthorised buildings is now a duty of municipalities, not a right they may choose not to use. A prosecutor may challenge inaction.
3. A decision to demolish is not wiped out by a purchase. Changing the owner in order to "replay" the act is an abuse of right.
The conclusion for buyers: checking the litigation history of a property is becoming essential. Otherwise, along with the building, one can buy the duty to demolish it.
