According to users, they are well ventilated, warm and have a pretty good layout. Such reviews can be heard about the company "Investstroy" in Kazan, Moscow, Kaliningrad and other cities.
First impressions can be deceiving
When you look at Investstroy, you get the impression of a good organization. The company has been in business for a long time. During its activity, it managed to acquire a good reputation, as well as put into operation many residential complexes. And, of course, it may seem that all this is the fruit of the work of a friendly team, a close-knit team of employees and management.
Hereonly all this at first glance. If, as they say, to dig closer, the director of Investstroy will turn out to be far from being as positive and good as one might think. This is evidenced by his attitude not only to business partners, but also to his employees. Yes, and they themselves are not at all flattering about him. Next, we will analyze the opinions of the employees of this organization.
What do employees think about Investstroy: reviews of former employees
Employees of the company "Investstroy" are very unflattering about the director. According to many of them, Sergei Fedorovich Dankov is regularly rude to his subordinates. Moreover, he does not respect their work, forcing them to work after hours. In addition, he regularly delays wages, often “throws money” on his wards.
As its former employees write in reviews, Investstroy is a good organization in itself. But her management is disrespectful to employees. According to them, it is still necessary for a very long time to "walk and beat out your hard-earned money." For the same reason, there is a high turnover in the organization. Other ex-employees say they were paid, but half the amount they were promised.
Besides, some contractors also complain about unfair treatment of partners. According to them, the Investstroy organization, represented by Sergei Fedorovich Dankov, repeatedly evaded paying the promised fee.
Unpleasant scandal with credit apartments
Besides the embarrassing situation of former employees who repeatedlycomplained about a negligent employer, an unpleasant incident with credit apartments added fuel to the fire. The incident occurred in Novosibirsk, where there is also a representative office of this organization.
The problem arose with residents of one of the residential complexes on Vilyuiskaya. It turned out that the residents, although they live in apartments from the aforementioned developer, are not actually the owners of the living space. In other words, they have no right to sell, donate and even dispose of their square meters. At the same time, the registration process itself will not budge.
Just imagine, people paid for the apartment, signed an agreement on equity participation, made repairs there and live. But in fact, they have no documentation confirming their rights to this property. At the same time, the apartments in this house, as it turned out, are on credit, that is, they are an object of collateral. It is noteworthy that the company, from which the tenants bought square meters, regularly promises to rectify the situation and solve the problem with the bank. However, “things are still there.”
According to lawyers, the situation is really deplorable. It turns out that two companies are involved here at once - Investstroy (appears as a developer) and Investcom (is engaged in paperwork with the equity participation of residents). Further, the Investcom company, having taken the money from the buyers, did not carry out the mandatory state registration. Moreover, she did not even bother to inform the equity holders that their apartments at that time were already pledged to the creditor.
Here it is worth noting one nuance: since the apartments were inpledged, they could be sold, donated or exchanged only with the direct permission of the bank. But since the credit institution did not give its "go-ahead" to the implementation of this transaction, the transfer of rights to the apartments already paid for by the tenants did not take place.
Lawyers are sure that in order to avoid trouble, the company "Investcom" insured itself and went for a little trick. She invited her clients to the office and, under various pretexts, persuaded them to sign a new document. According to preliminary information, the future apartment owners voluntarily agreed to provide the Investcom company with an interest-free loan. However, these agreements were not registered and notarized.
What should equity holders do in this situation?
According to lawyers, at the moment it is too early to ring all the bells and raise the alarm. The company "Investcom" does not deny the problem. On the contrary, they promise to settle it before the end of this year. As a last resort, lawyers say, frustrated residents of the house can always go to court. After all, they have a share agreement in their hands.
In turn, the developer himself promises to help in solving this problem. According to representatives of Investstroy, it is planned to renegotiate contracts with buyers in the near future. It is expected to draw up a contract of sale. However, according to lawyers, the outcome of the problem will depend on the integrity of the developer and the intermediary company.
How should potential buyers act?
In order not to get into a similar situation, experts recommend performingfollowing steps:
- Pay attention to the construction site (need to know if construction work is going on there or not).
- Take a look at the developer's website and check for a project declaration.
- Study the contract several times and conclude it if you agree with all the points.
- Deposit money after your contract is registered on the official website of Rosreestr.
Other documents that involve the assignment of rights to your property must be carefully reviewed. And it is best to do this accompanied by a lawyer. Otherwise, there is always a chance to fall for the bait of deceivers and scammers. And litigation, as you know, can drag on for years and lead nowhere.
