Protection against scammers: for transactions with housing they want to introduce a «cooling period»
Krympress reports:
Borriers will give time to consider a decision to buy or sell real estate. It is proposed to introduce a “cooling period” for housing transactions. Such a bill is aimed at consideration by the Government and the Central Bank, said Svetlana Razvorotneva, deputy chairman of the State Duma Committee on Construction and Housing and Public Utilities. It was proposed to amend the Federal Law «On Combating the legalization (laundering) of the proceeds received by the criminal way.»
According to the document, the funds from the sale of real estate will enter the buyer’s account after a seven -day pause. Within 7 days, the buyer will not be able to dispose of this money.
The draft law provides for exceptions. The money can be immediately transferred to the seller if he urgently needs to pay debts, housing, communal or medical services.
The authors of the initiative expect that the “cooling period” will protect people from fraudulent schemes. Often, scammers convince citizens to participate in the «special operations» of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Under the influence of scammers, people sell the only housing, and transfer money to the attackers. Thanks to the “cooling period”, people will have time to make a balanced decision and evaluate the possible consequences of their actions.
