Compensation for destroyed housing may turn out to be significantly less than the real cost of the apartment, by about a third. Andrey Shvadchak, legal adviser of Transparency International Ukraine, drew attention to this, writes UBR.. ua.

The expert notes that the government has not changed its approach to determining the indirect price since 2005, which is why it has little to do with real market prices.. As of October, the most expensive square meter, according to the Ministry of Regional Development, was in Kyiv - 22.8 thousand. UAH. In the same month, the average market price of 1 sq.. m in the primary market of the capital, according to the portal " UAH.

According to the most loyal (relative to the Ministry of Regional Development) calculations and conclusions, the ministry underestimates the cost per square meter of real estate by about 30%, says the lawyer.

" )"

In addition, the authorities are also considering the possibility of limiting the amount of compensation for destroyed housing, not only by the cost per square meter, but also by the number of square meters.. In other words, it is unlikely that the state will compensate citizens for the full cost of a luxurious house or expensive apartment..

" Therefore, something can take over, but something can not,"

According to lawyer and real estate market expert Yuri Brikailo, the Cabinet of Ministers will somehow limit the amount of compensation by underestimating the value of the destroyed property or by other methods.

“If compensation is raised to market prices, then there will be no understanding where such, it seems to me, incredible amounts come from.. In this case, there may not be enough compensation for everyone,"

At the same time, in response to a journalistic inquiry, People's Deputy Elena Shulyak recalled that the Fund's funds are not the only ones that will finance the program. And she stressed that the amount of compensation cannot depend on the sources of monetary coverage - "

Shulyak added that the assessment of the cost per square meter of housing, on the basis of which the amount in the housing certificate will be calculated, will not be related to the methodology of the Ministry of Regional Development. Prior to the entry into force of the law, the government must introduce a special assessment procedure. Although its development is still in progress.

Shulyak indicated the criteria on the basis of which it will be accepted.

Thus, the issue of determining the cost of 1 square meter is being considered, taking into account the cost of reproducing 1 square meter of such housing.. This cost takes into account the features of the type and design of destroyed housing, the socio-cultural, industrial potential of the settlement, its place in the system of settlement in the country and the liquidity of the area in the city (if we are talking about cities with a population of more than 500 thousand. people), that is, the purpose of the document is to establish such a cost of 1 square meter, which will be as close as possible to the market.

Recall that to date, more than 300 thousand applications for compensation for 23 million square meters have already been submitted..

Based on already submitted applications, even if the cost per square meter is estimated according to the current methodology of the Ministry of Regional Development, according to which the average price of a square in Ukraine is about 20 thousand. hryvnia, the necessary funding for the program will amount to hundreds of billions of hryvnia.

If compensation is issued at the market value of housing in the primary market, the program budget may exceed one trillion hryvnias..
