What should I do if the apartment has changed?

Why the area of the apartment changes in the construction process ❓
Sometimes the actual area of the apartment after surrender is different from the one that is indicated in the construction contract. This happens due to errors when installing, insulation or alignment of walls. It can change both in large and in a smaller side.
What to do if the area of the apartment has changed?
📌 If the apartment area has become less
In this case, the difference compensates for the developer. A reference point on the change in area within 0.3- 2 sq.m is in the contract (up to 3%), as well as the procedure for returning funds. Always carefully read the terms of the contract, and, most importantly, remember that the property will be included in the property, which will be according to the MBTI Ethimals, and not that in the contract.
📌 If the apartment area has become more ❓
Our legislation does not have such a norm according to which the buyer must automatically compensate for the difference. If this is not reflected in the contract, then you can send a claim to the developer in writing, and if this issue does not decide, then - to apply to the court. In case the project has been changed without your consent or area increased more than 5% - you have the right to terminate the contract and return the money within 15 days for the purchase.
Be careful when signing the contract: if the developer writes that with increasing area you pay extra, and with a decrease it does not pay the difference - it is illegal. Conditions should be equal.
R.S. Always carefully read the contract.
