| Aug 28, 2020 at 17:29 | comment | added | Sandra | My financial situation doesn't demand making such a move at all, for I've already bought my first home and am in no need of cash. So I see no reason or need to sell my bedroom for less than my share of the apartment value. I understand you may have not known this or been unsure or wanted to check, but now you know. How do you think we should proceed?" | |
| Aug 28, 2020 at 17:28 | comment | added | Sandra | @Euchris So your suggested wording has to be tweaked like this: "Thank you, your offer is very generous, with your price being higher than what I could sell my bedroom on the market for. But there's one detail you seem not to know yet: I own a separate apartment and am thus in no need to sell my bedroom on the market, in the first place. As you are perfectly aware, selling my bedroom on the market would give me much less than my share of the value of the entire apartment. (continued below) | |
| Aug 28, 2020 at 17:26 | comment | added | Sandra | @Euchris Yes, common areas are owned as a function of bedroom space, but you can't separate ownership of a bedroom from ownership of the corresponding part of the common space. If you own a bedroom, you automatically own the corresponding part of the common space. If you sell your bedroom, you forfeit your part of the common space. You can't own just a part of the common space and no bedroom. In Russia, it goes without saying that buying or selling a bedroom includes the corresponding share of the common area. | |

| Aug 27, 2020 at 13:42 | comment | added | Euchris | If I understand correctly, the common areas are owned as a function of bedroom space. Rather than offering to buy just her bedroom and leave her some random portions of the common areas, surely he's hoping to buy the bedroom and what it entails, in which case his price is too low. Incidentally, maybe that can be the kind of extra fact Tania needs to bring up to move negotiations along. "Your price is reasonable for just the bedroom, but don't forget it comes with ownership of some of the common areas. Therefore, I don't see how I can value it at less than $x." | |
