Do not follow the path of bypassing Law No. 214 — Federal Law «On Participation in shared construction», when the contract is not registered in the regpalate. Or instead of an agreement on shared participation, a preliminary purchase and sale agreement is concluded. By the law, preliminary agreements are not paid, so it will not be possible to return the money, and if the contract is concluded not with the developer, but with some third-party organization, then the contract is considered insignificant, and nothing will be able to get anything at all. Under the new law, from January 1, 2011, such contracts are prohibited, but many developers still do not want to renegotiate them.
