Selling an apartment - how not to lose everything due to one clause in the agreement.

Selling an apartment in 2025 remains a quite complicated procedure. Changes in legislation, the digitization of document circulation, and the activity of fraudsters create additional risks for sellers. Even a standard purchase and sale agreement can lead to loss of money and nerves due to inappropriate wording.

Thus, the main trap for the seller is the obligation to transfer the apartment before the full payment has been made. This can lead to the following problems:

• difficulties in collecting funds;
• loss of control over the object if the keys are transferred before receiving the funds;
• the possibility of disputing the transaction by the buyer due to early reallocation of the object.

What else to consider

It is very important to conclude the contract in such a way as to protect your interests. Some nuances to avoid:

1. No penalty sanctions for violations of payment deadlines, which can lead to delays in settlements by the buyer without responsibility.
2. Absence of conditions regarding the state of the object at the Time of sale, which may lead to further claims by the buyer regarding the quality of the housing.
3. Lack of information about debts, even if none exist, may provoke a negative attitude from the buyer towards the transaction.
4. It is important to determine the agreement regarding individuals living in or leaving the apartment to avoid future conflicts regarding eviction.

Therefore, before signing the contract, it is worth carefully reviewing the terms and clarifying all nuances to avoid possible problems in the future.
