Musicians and actors who left the country made successful careers in Russian show business and cinema, which allowed them to buy expensive cars and luxury housing. And if you can say goodbye to the fleet without unnecessary problems, then there were problems with real estate. It turned out that the majority of emigrants cannot sell their square meters for more than a year, some of them cannot find not only buyers, but also tenants, and actually the maintenance of empty housing costs them a round sum.
Vera Brezhneva and Konstantin Meladze have a modern residence in Nova Riga with panoramic windows and a bright interior. The singer and songwriter, who emigrated to Italy, is trying to sell his 700 square meter house for 300 million rubles. Svetlana Loboda owns a spacious cottage with adjoining land in a closed elite village in the Moscow region. An artist based in Latvia is selling a house with an area of 1400 m2. m for 600 million.
People’s Artist of Russia Chulpan Khamatova, who also found refuge in Latvia, has 158 square meters. in a house built in 1910 in the Patriarch’s Ponds area. The market value of the apartment in the heart of the capital is 120 million. Sofia Rotaru also has an apartment of 120 “squares” for 50 million in the center of Moscow.
Real estate expert Dmitry Kudryavtsev said Chulpan would be the easiest to sell housing because, although she has a residence permit in Latvia, she remains a Russian citizen. Provided that there is a client for a sale and purchase transaction, it is enough for her to appoint a representative through a power of attorney and using electronic registration through Rosreestr. Brezhneva, Loboda and Rotaru have Ukrainian passports. In order to sell housing in Russia, they need to obtain permission from the Government Commission for the Control of Foreign Investments in the Russian Federation.
“For ideological and objective reasons, the objects of the refugees often hang, they are even sold at a big discount. Especially if it is the property of a well-known personality. Consumer sentiment in society is often adjusted in accordance with the political situation, which imposes certain negatives on some real estate, which affects the liquidity of the object, sometimes fatally, “quotes Kudryavtseva KP.
According to the expert, property in the company of a respected person is in high demand and can be sold with a higher added value. However, properties of retiring stars are very difficult to sell. “There are no preconditions for price growth in the market for suburban elite and business-class real estate. Under certain conditions, prices will remain stable and demand will be low, which will intensify the fight for buyers, and there are two factors – either quality or cost competition. Which will always lead to lower prices in this market segment,” Dmitry added.
