Over the past 2 years in Ukraine there have been several dozen new developers who broke into the real estate market.
After the crisis, developers began actively launching new projects and this has already yielded results. Experts from NEST and Greenville claim that now the offer of apartments in new buildings for Ukrainians is the largest that was only 27 years of independence.
About 400 developers currently work in Ukraine. And apparently, this number is far from the limit, because the construction of residential complexes is still quite a profitable and prestigious business.
And although most of them work conscientiously, there are some who are only chasing profit, not caring about their customers. They can create externally attractive objects, but because of savings on something important in the future, tenants will necessarily face a number of problems. It would be insulting if in a brand-new apartment in a year it will be necessary to change all pipes and plumbing equipment.
Even if the company-builder at first glance is credible, you need to once again check its reliability. We'll show you how to do it..
4 steps to determine the reliability of the developer Step 1. Assess the quality of completed projects.
The quality and reliability of the builder is spoken by its completed projects. A good portfolio is a great way to brag about your achievements and steep residential complexes.
Experience is gained over the years. If the developer successfully works in the market for 10 or more years, it almost always means that he will perform his work at the level.
True, in its portfolio the company can slightly embellish reality by painting its projects in the most favorable light. We also recommend that you look at the company's projects in the network.
If the project is of questionable quality, then it will manifest itself a few years after its commissioning. And it is natural, that people in their social networks will talk about this, such stories will get into the media. Through the search engine, all this can be easily found.
Most companies do not fear such checks, because they work on conscience. For example, the developer NEST for 20 years in the Ukrainian market has built more than 570 000 square meters of residential complexes and office centers. All that you can find is positive feedback from tenants and experts.
Step 2. Check the reputation of the developer Reputation - the thing is very fragile. It needs to be created over the years, but you can lose it in one day.
But after all, reputation is one of the main tools for working with clients. Everything is simple. Apartment is the main purchase in the life of most Ukrainians. And many people approach it with maximum responsibility. It's unlikely that a person will want to buy an apartment from a developer if he finds out that he was once involved in financial fraud or deception of co-investors.
Check the reputation of the company is very simple. Write its name in the search engine, and the system will give you the most popular news, where this name occurs. Be sure, if something bad is connected with the company name, you will immediately know about it.
You can right now do such a test on the example of the developer Greenville. Just write the name on Google and look at the results. But we will not pull - you will find only good reviews and a lot of positive. Because Greenville cares about its reputation.
Step 3. Check the site and call the manager. The site is the face of the company. His condition can tell a lot. A good site will be convenient, unobtrusive, but informative. You should find with his help the answers to all the questions that you may have about the project, company or directly buying an apartment.
If the site is made "on the knee" and there is not even basic information like prices on it, it means that the company simply does not respect its customers and treats them only as sources of income.
It's the same with the managers of the developer. If an expert tries to find out your wishes and needs, and offers something to them appropriate, then such a company wants to buy. And if the manager begins to impose housing, without even asking, for what purposes do you buy an apartment, you can safely hang up and look for a new developer.
Step 4. Check the prices A very tricky stage, because you need to carefully check not high, but low prices. The fact is that real estate projects in themselves are quite expensive, and there is a certain minimum cost, below which it is simply pointless to sell - projects will not bring profit.
"In Kiev, primary property can not cost less than $ 650 per square. It is simply uneconomic from a financial point of view.
There are some cases when developers want to attract more investment at the "foundation stage" - when the construction is just beginning. Then yes, the apartments can be sold slightly more expensive than the cost price. But if the cost per square meter is such in an already finished house, then it is worth considering. Either the developer has saved a lot on important elements of construction, or somewhere here lies the sheer fraud. Both situations are not very pleasant, right? ".
General Manager of Greenville, Orest Sarakhman For your convenience, we collected average prices per square meter for Kiev new buildings in each category of housing:.
economy - 18 000 UAH;.
comfort - 23 000 UAH;.
business class - 35 000 UAH;.
premium - 52 000 UAH.
Now a little about how the price is formed. A huge role in this is played by the location of the LCD and the infrastructure near it. The price of apartments in the city center and somewhere in the suburbs may differ at times.
Also, the cost is affected by the characteristics of the complex itself: the storeys, the area of ??the territory, the stage of construction and many other factors.
There is a little trick. Developers often offer excellent discounts when the house is just starting to be built, as well as at any stage with full payment for the purchase.
But if the price is too low, it is better to double-check why it is so.
Greenville and NEST cooperate to create a special project Projects from reliable developers are always trustworthy. But if two powerful developers are working on projects at once, this means that the project will be just very steep. And it's actually so. A bit about them.
Developer NEST rightfully bears the title of the most experienced private construction company in Ukraine, because he has been working successfully since 1997. During this time he created dozens of residential complexes and office centers.
Developer Greenville - this is the most successful developer of Lviv, in the asset of which there are very bold projects executed in accordance with the European concepts of housing creation. And they very much suited the Lviv people.
Greenville Park is a joint project of NEST and Greenville. A real challenge to ordinary residential areas. Greenville Park on Podol is the first residential complex in the capital that is created according to the canons of harmonious life for each family. Excellent planning, the city center with the best infrastructure you can think of, and a gorgeous indoor park with a half-hectare with many recreation points. What else is needed for a comfortable life?.
There are more pleasant news. LCD Greenville Park is still at the stage of construction, but he has already won the "Ukrainian Construction Olympus" award, having won in the nomination "New format of business class housing".
Greenville Park promises to change people's perception of comfortable housing. And we believe that the developers of Greenville and NEST will succeed.
