Moscow Duma deputies included in the response to the bill on renovation of the housing stock in Moscow a norm protecting the interests of owners of non-residential premises. The editor of the decree, the head of the Duma commission on urban economy and housing policy, Stepan Orlov, explained that at the proposal of United Russia, the recall indicated the need to provide owners of non-residential premises in the demolished five-story buildings of equivalent premises or 100% monetary compensation based on the market value of the premises. During the discussion of this amendment earlier, the Chairman of the Moscow City Duma Commission on Urban Planning, State Property and Land Use Sergei Zverev noted that the law "On the Status of the Capital" should specify a mechanism for compensating business losses from the demolition of the old five-story building. "For small and medium businesses, the location of the premises often plays a decisive role. And this factor must be taken into account in the law. Every entrepreneur must decide for himself what is better for him to get a room or choose the possibility of monetary compensation. This will not only not lose, but also give additional impetus to the development of small businesses in the city ", - said S. Zverev. The director, the head of the retail real estate department at ILM, Yegor Levchenko, agrees with this position. But not quite sure that even the changes will protect the owners of "non-residential". "In accordance with the text, the owners must receive equivalent, not equivalent real estate, which means possible losses for the owner upon receipt of a replacement. It implies equal footage, but not equal value of the object. If in apartments the difference is not so significant relative to the prices of residential real estate, on the premises of a shopping destination, the cost of the same square in one area may differ by 2-3 times depending on the traffic of people and cars, ”the expert comments. According to his estimates, approximately 30% of the buildings planned for demolition have non-residential premises. This is about 2,000 homes. And if we take into account that in some houses there are several non-residential premises used by the business, then it can be calculated that the program will affect the interests of 2 to 10 thousand owners of non-residential funds. Even if we imagine that all owners will take advantage of the right to compensation, where in the city can we get so many free non-residential premises? Moreover, these changes may have a positive impact on the commercial component of the premises, the expert believes. "New construction will lead to a much higher population density, since the height of modern buildings significantly exceeds five floors, and the layouts of the buildings will be focused on" equivalent "housing relative to current footage in five-story buildings," he recalled. Higher density - more clientele. Concerns from the point of view of business cause the lack of a legal basis for the relationship of owners with their long-term tenants to an expert. "Residents are offered a decoration, and tenants do not fit into the basic offers." Who compensates them for the loss? Especially if the stores are open recently and the costs are far from payback ", - notes E.Levchenko. The expert summarizes that the issue of "resettlement" of owners of non-residential premises requires special attention from the city and federal authorities, because the business, especially small, makes a significant contribution to the city's economy. Recall that the city authorities have announced the complete elimination of the five-story apartment fund. The new program will affect about 8 thousand houses, where 1.6 million Muscovites live. Preliminary lists of homes for inclusion in the housing renovation program will be made by early May. Published on www.realty.interfax.ru

Should we expect an increase in the cost of housing and commercial real estate? How will the new course of America affect Russia as a whole? Answers to these questions are given by ILM experts. According to Alexander Gurganov, ILM Partner , “the main factors that will determine the dynamics of the commercial real estate market in Russia in the coming years: the level of business activity, the level of purchasing power of the population, the availability of affordable financing for development projects and the amount of vacant space that exists today. Most analysts agree that in the short term, Trump's election introduces an element of uncertainty, which means that the consequences are falling investments, falling oil prices, and the ruble weakening. Further, no one can say with certainty to what extent a number of his election statements will be brought to life. At the same time, we do not mean his most populist statements here. According to analysts at Morgan Stanley , the likelihood of lifting the sanctions in 2017-2018. with Trump's win is about 35%. Of course, this is a positive signal, which affects both the business prospects of foreign companies and the prospects for foreign investment. Further, a radical new approach to the solution of the Syrian problem was heard from the mouth of the new president (support for Assad in the fight against LIH, refusal to support the “moderate opposition”). At the same time, everyone understands that in the absence of Trump’s experience in foreign policy matters, a lot will depend on the candidacy of the new secretary of state, the leadership and the position of the special services, and the willingness of the Senate and Congress to change something in this direction. The American ship turns extremely slowly and reluctantly. A serious negative signal for us is Trump's pre-election statements about increasing production and exporting shale oil, which, with his well-known skepticism and disregard for environmental issues, is quite possible. Trump made serious statements about protectionist measures in the field of international trade, focusing on issues of domestic policy and domestic economy, etc. You can continue to go deep into a multifactor analysis of the possible steps of the new administration, the personal characteristics of the new president and their impact on our lives, one thing is clear: no one can give an accurate forecast. Ball is ruled by uncertainty. Nevertheless, the “Trump Effect” on our segments of commercial and residential real estate, I believe, is the place to be, and it is more likely of a subjective psychological nature that will last for the next six months - no more. Suffice it to say that the day of the American elections passed in our media space and social networks much more rapidly than our own elections of any level. And this revival is not over. "We are waiting for change" and yet "it has become more interesting to live." The breath of these changes came from overseas. From across the ocean came a reminder of the role of the individual in history. Considering the fact that our most influential media worked to create a positive image of Trump, most of our people, regardless of educational qualifications, perceive his victory as a hope for positive changes, including in our home. And if so, then in terms of real estate - “the bottom is passed, the worst is behind, the rise is ahead (when it is not clear, but it’s soon), you have to buy, while cheap, you need to rent, while cheap.” For those who still have the opportunity to do it, of course. We can expect a small surge of activity in the coming months, and what will happen next - real politics and economics will show. ” According to Andrei Protasov, ILM Partner, “the state of relations with the United States and the sanctions directly affect the interest and ultimately the activity of foreign investors and tenants in the Russian Federation. If with Trump's victory the warming begins and the attitude to the Russian Federation in the world is normalized, it will have a positive impact on real estate in the best case in 1-2 years. Still, we should not forget that the main reasons for the lack of interest of foreign investors in Russian real estate are the presence of structural problems in the economy and the fundamental indicators of the real estate market (excess space, falling rental rates, weak demand). ” According to the forecast of Yuri Yudakov, director of the department of corporate real estate solutions of ILM , “Trump’s victory in the elections should not affect commercial and residential real estate in Russia. In the next few months, the US policy towards Russia will not change much. Do not expect the lifting of sanctions, which were introduced a couple of years ago. In my opinion, the political and economic situation inside the country affects the commercial and residential real estate more. Much depends on the policy of the Ministry of Economic Development, the Central Bank, the laws that are passed by the State Duma deputies, and so on. Rising and falling prices and rates depend on supply and demand in the market. ” According to Ekaterina Volkova, a leading analyst at ILM , “now on the market after a long decline, the phase of stagnation has come. The growth of rates may not begin until the end of 2017. However, the recovery will be uneven, the rates will be raised by those owners whose objects are located in the most popular locations. ” Posted by www.cre.ru
