How and where to find out the inventory value of an apartment

How to find out the inventory value of an apartment, and why is it needed for ordinary citizens? Is it possible to find out this indicator without making a personal appointment with the authorized bodies? The answers to these questions can be found in the presented material.

What is inventory value

The inventory value of a property is its price expression, determined based on the results of technical activities of the BTI bodies. In the process of accounting for municipal and state housing stock, such measures were carried out in relation to each apartment building with the registration of inventory materials.

For a long time, determining the inventory value of an apartment made it possible to use it for the following purposes:

• determining the real price of an object on the real estate market;
• calculation of tax payments on citizens' property;
• calculation of the price of real estate in the process of inheritance.

At the moment, the inventory and cadastral value of an apartment are relatively similar only for tax purposes, and it is the cadastral registration information that is given priority.

How to make a calculation

How to find out the inventory value of an apartment if the specified information was needed by the legal owners of the property or third parties? There are several practical ways to find out the exact or approximate value of this indicator:

• requesting information about the price characteristics of an object through the BTI authorities;
• calculate independently using open sources and methodological collections of the State Committee for Construction;
• on the official website of Rosreestr as part of the unified cadastral information of the registered object.

BTI information will present price values ​​based on the latest technical accounting data carried out in relation to an apartment building. The relevance of such information may not correspond to current values, however, it will allow using this parameter as a basic element for subsequent calculations.

How to calculate the inventory value of an apartment if the owner of the property has the initial value of this indicator, generated by the BTI authorities at the time of the inspection of the house?

When calculating the inventory value using formulas and methods used by various government bodies, it is necessary to know the coefficient of actual depreciation of the structure, building differentiation indices, as well as information about the coefficient of conversion of primary data into current indicators. The result obtained will reflect the relatively current value of the price indicator.

How to find out the inventory value of a property on the Rosreestr website? On the website of this service, in relation to registered real estate objects, it is possible to obtain publicly available information, which includes the value of the inventory value of the apartment.

The practical value of such an indicator will be minimal, since cadastral information contains inventory values ​​as of the time the object was registered.

For any type of calculation, the main characteristics of the building are used: the year of construction, the level of improvement of the house, the physical parameters of the apartment (area, height, communications, etc.).

 Where can I get this information?

To find out the inventory value of an object, please contact:

• to one of the local BTI enterprises;
• to the bodies of Rosreestr;
• to the Multifunctional Center (MFC).

BTI institutions provide, at the request of a citizen, a certificate of the value of the object at the time of the last technical inventory, reflected in the materials of the inventory file. The issuance of this certificate is carried out on a paid basis, the prices are approved by the BTI structures themselves.

At the territorial division of Rosreestr, you can order and receive an extract from the cadastral information of the Unified State Register of Real Estate, which will also reflect the inventory price of the property. According to the extract provided by Rosreestr, the inventory value of the apartment will be presented as of the date of cadastral registration in relation to this property.

Multifunctional centers have been created and operate in every region of the country, allowing citizens to receive state and municipal services in various fields of activity. A request for the inventory value of housing at the MFC will allow you to receive an analogue of information from Rosreestr, since the MFC applies to the specified service to obtain information.

Find out the cost by address

The only parameter that allows you to clarify any information about the inventory information of an object is the address of the apartment. Without it, the request loses its meaning, regardless of the body to which the request is sent.

For BTI authorities, it is sufficient to indicate the actual address of the property, which is indicated in the title documents for the apartment. To send an application to the Rosreestr authorities, the address will not be enough; you must also indicate the unique cadastral number of the apartment.

Nuances when inheriting a property

To open an inheritance case and register an inheritance, it is also necessary to obtain information about the inventory price of the inherited apartment. For this category of cases, an important rule has been established - the assessment must be calculated at the time of opening of the inheritance.

The price indicators of the apartment will be used by the notary when registering the case, and will also be taken into account in the event of a dispute between the heirs regarding the received property.

How to obtain a certificate of appraised value via the Internet

Using special Internet resources, find out the inventory value of an apartment online. The principle of price formation coincides with the methodology used for independent calculations.

The site user is asked to enter the main indicators of the object, after which the final result becomes available. The resulting value will only approximately reflect the actual value of the object according to technical accounting data.

Certificate of inventory value of the apartment

A certificate reflecting this cost of the apartment can only be obtained from the BTI authorities. These institutions have the right to receive information from the state archive, where inventory files for all real estate objects are stored. Rosreestr authorities have at their disposal only cadastral information obtained as a result of registering a property object.

Differences between inventory value and cadastral value

The difference between cadastral value and inventory value lies in the method of their determination and purpose of application.

The cadastral valuation of an object is carried out as a result of cadastral work before registering the object and is necessary for assigning a cadastral number to an apartment and entering information into the Unified State Register of Real Estate. This indicator is formed at the time of technical registration of real estate objects.

The difference between the assessed or inventory value at the property tax calculation stage is of key importance. Until 2015, only the inventory value of the apartment tax was used, but currently, for the purposes of taxation of apartments and other real estate, the cadastral price is used.

How to challenge the inventory value if its use entails an overstatement of property taxes? Such a challenge is possible only in court on the basis of a report on the market price of the apartment, which independent professional appraisers have the right to determine.

Based on the results of the report on the market price of the property, the cadastral value of the apartment is also subject to legal challenge. If, by a court decision, the market price of real estate is taken as a basis, the tax authorities are obliged to recalculate the amount of tax payments.

How to find out the appraisal of an apartment without leaving home

The opportunity to obtain information about the price of an apartment without leaving home is available in two ways:

• using online calculators on specialized resources;
• using the online service of the Rosreestr service.

The information received will not maximally comply with the principles of accuracy and reliability, however, it will allow you to quickly find out the approximate price of the object of interest without leaving your home. In addition, this option makes it possible to find out a specific cost parameter without having to pay additional fees or government duties.
