Buy & Sell Apartments

Buy & Sell Apartments

Purchasing or selling an apartment in Russia offers international buyers and sellers a strategic opportunity to access one of Eurasia’s most dynamic real estate markets. From luxury high-rises in Moscow City to historic flats in St. Petersburg’s cultural districts, Russian apartments combine affordability, strong rental demand, and long-term appreciation potential. At Nazemla, we specialize in guiding foreign clients through every step of the apartment buying and selling process—ensuring legal compliance, transparent pricing, and seamless transactions, all in your language.

Why Invest in Russian Apartments?

Russia’s major cities continue to attract both local and international interest due to stable property values, improving infrastructure, and growing demand for quality housing. Key advantages include:

  • Affordable entry points: High-quality apartments in prime areas often cost significantly less than comparable units in Western Europe or North America.
  • Strong rental yields: In central Moscow and St. Petersburg, well-located apartments can generate 5–8% annual rental returns.
  • Residency flexibility: While property ownership does not automatically grant residency, it supports visa applications and demonstrates financial stability.
  • Legal security: All transactions are recorded in the Unified State Register of Real Estate (EGRN), a public, tamper-proof system that guarantees title authenticity.

Types of Apartments We Handle

1. Ready-to-Move-In Apartments

Fully finished units in established residential complexes, ideal for personal use or immediate rental income. We verify building quality, management company reliability, and utility costs.

2. Off-Plan (Pre-Construction) Apartments

New developments sold during construction, often at discounted prices. We assess developer reputation, project permits (214-FZ compliance), and delivery timelines to minimize risk.

3. Historic & Renovated Flats

Charming apartments in heritage buildings (e.g., St. Petersburg’s “Stalinka” or “Khrushchevka” conversions), offering unique character and central locations.

4. Luxury & Elite Residences

High-end properties in gated communities or premium towers (e.g., Moscow City, Rublyovka), featuring concierge services, smart home systems, and panoramic views.

Our End-to-End Apartment Transaction Process

Step 1: Personalized Property Search

We begin by understanding your goals: investment, relocation, or rental income. Based on your budget, preferred city, district, and amenities, we curate a shortlist of verified listings.

Step 2: Virtual or In-Person Viewings

Can’t travel to Russia? We offer live video tours with real-time Q&A. For on-site visits, we coordinate transportation, interpreters, and back-to-back viewings.

Step 3: Price Analysis & Negotiation

Using current market data and comparable sales, we ensure you pay a fair price—and negotiate aggressively on your behalf.

Step 4: Legal Due Diligence

We check:

  • Clean title (no liens, arrests, or third-party claims)
  • Seller’s legal capacity
  • Building permits and renovation history
  • Outstanding utility or maintenance debts

Step 5: Contract & Registration

Our partner lawyers draft bilingual purchase agreements, manage notarization, and submit documents to Rosreestr for EGRN registration—typically completed within 5–7 business days.

Step 6. Post-Sale Support

Need help with furniture, rental management, or tax reporting? We offer ongoing services to maximize your asset’s value.

Top Cities for Apartment Investment

  • Moscow: Highest liquidity and rental demand; focus on Central Administrative District, New Moscow, and Moscow City.
  • St. Petersburg: Cultural capital with strong tourism-driven rentals; look at Petrogradskaya, Vasileostrovsky, and Admiralteysky districts.
  • Sochi: Seasonal rental market with high summer occupancy; ideal for vacation homes.
  • Kazan & Yekaterinburg: Emerging business hubs with government-backed development and lower entry prices.
