The Duma has prepared a package of draft laws aimed at providing additional protection to citizens who purchased real estate in accordance with all the rules. It is proposed to make amendments to the Civil Code of the Russian Federation. Lawyer and candidate of legal sciences Andrei Nekrasov told about the effectiveness of the proposed measures.
The representatives suggested that if the deal was declared invalid, the apartment should be returned no later than the buyer receiving the full amount paid.
According to the expert, there is currently no information about what type of refund the invoice refers to. This could be the amount paid when purchasing a home, or compensation calculated based on the current market value of the property, the radio reported.Komsomolskaya Pravda».
The lawyer stressed that trials in similar cases could last from one to two years.
According to Nekrasov, the proposed mechanism could be a fair attempt to restore the balance of interests of the parties and increase the level of justice in such processes.
In the fall of 2025, State Duma deputies Sergei Kolonov and Ilya Wolfson proposed introducing mandatory notarized confirmation of all real estate transactions in order to protect elderly people from scammers.
