Why convert a residential property to commercial?
Converting residential premises into commercial real estate opens up new opportunities:
* Opening a business on the first floor – beauty salons, coffee shops, pharmacies, offices.
* Increase in rent – commercial rent brings 2-3 times more than residential.
* Increased liquidity of the object – the market value of real estate increases.
However, without professional legal support, the transfer can turn into a bureaucratic ordeal. That is why it is important to turn to specialists at this stage.
The main stages of converting residential premises into commercial premises:
1. building suitability assessment – not every premise is eligible for conversion. It is important to consider the technical condition, floor, location.
2. Collecting a package of documents – technical passport, ownership, consent of neighbors (if necessary).
3. Change of intended use – through local authorities or CNAP.
4. Registration of the new status in the State Register of Property Rights.
*Expert advice: do not hesitate to assess the benefits – one consultation can save you months of paperwork.

Such a step requires additional procedures:
* Redevelopment according to the DBN;
* Obtaining permission from the architectural and construction inspection;
* Coordination with local authorities.
