It is noted that firms are paying more attention to economy class housing, offering affordable apartments in the industrial zones of St. Petersburg.

We went through the forums of equity holders and excluded firms that have massive complaints.Despite the fact that each developer postpones the deadlines, conscientious organizations notify clients about the progress of work. At the end, we paid attention to the reviews, highlighted the weakest sides and negative points that are important to consider.

Top 10 most reliable developers in St. Petersburg

10 FSK Leader

Opens the rating of the best FSK Leader, which offers both cheap and luxury housing. The company attracts customers with modern quarters, which are distinguished by a large green area, good infrastructure and transport accessibility. The houses have panoramic glazing, ventilated facades, monolithic construction. More than 25 objects have been put into operation, prices vary from 1.5 to 20 million rubles. Officially, everything is handed over on time, although the keys are handed over six months later. There are many clauses in the contract that protect the company in case of problems.

Buyers in the reviews warn that from the moment of commissioning and until the signing of the acceptance certificate, the cost of the house is paid by the owner of the apartment. This means that for six months the client will bear the cost of housing that cannot be moved into. Finishing suffers, there are holes in the ceiling and pipes, cracked doors. The company promises a protected area, but anyone can go through. Although, with all the problems, buyers recommend the company, because in the end everyone is occupied, the sites are in good condition.

9 Glavstroy SPB

Glavstroy SPB got a place in the top due to the many buildings commissioned. The company is part of the "Basic Element" association and builds middle-class residential buildings. During construction, double-glazed windows, sound insulation are installed, brick-monolithic technology is used. The site flaunts numerous awards, including for reliability and quality. Project documentation, characteristics of apartments, cost are freely available. The leadership appears frequently in the media. Prices range from 2.5 to 7 million rubles.

According to the reviews, it is clear that houses are rented out, equity holders receive apartments. However, many promises are not kept. Construction of kindergartens and schools is delayed. The green areas are the forest where the workers dump their rubbish. Low-rise buildings have turned into skyscrapers. Many buyers do not accept apartments the first time, waiting for the elimination of defects for several months. The quality of the finish suffers, it is recommended to do the repair yourself. There are very few parking spaces.

8 Polis Group

One of the best was Polis Group, which won several awards for its excellent start in the market. Having opened in 2014, the company has already completed 770,000 sq. m. meters. She has more than 3 thousand places in kindergartens and schools. The site contains all the documents on completed and under construction houses. In the public domain are project declarations with the names of the leaders. Although there is very little information about the latest. Polis Group has established relationships with the best banks by offering mortgage lending. Cameras are installed at each facility, online broadcasts are conducted.Popular LCDs are Polis on Komendantskoye and Polis on the Neva, the construction of ParkLand is nearing completion.

It is possible to buy apartments with a 20% discount by making a 100% prepayment. However, finishing materials leave much to be desired. The cheapest Chinese stamps are used, on which dents and prints remain. Elevators often don't work and the houses are tall. Many people have problems with ventilation. Playgrounds are placed near the carriageways, the lighting is minimal. The management company belongs to Polis Group, but is in no hurry to solve problems. It is worth paying for apartments, the interest of the company is lost.

7 Lenstroytrest

Lenstroytrest appeared in the top due to the decent quality of monolithic, frame and panel housing. The company uses its own materials, which are produced at the Gatchina SSK. The cost varies from 1,700,000 to 11 million rubles. The site boasts a whole list of awards for the reliability and quality of not only apartments, but also the surrounding areas. The firm prefers the Scandinavian style, the most popular projects are IQ Gatchina, Yutteri and New Ton.

Buyers in the reviews warn that the apartments are located in the suburbs of St. Petersburg, it is inconvenient to get to the city. The firm forgets about promises to build kindergartens and shops. But it does a good job equipping green areas, sports and playgrounds. There are even bike paths and dog walking areas. However, we decided not to rank the company higher due to several litigations.The contract says that LST Gatchina is involved in the construction, although the money goes to Lenstroytrest. As a result, the responsibility is borne by the first firm, which has no funds in the account. Buyers win court cases, but do not receive money. It is recommended to be careful and not to purchase housing at the initial stages of construction.

6 L1 SC №1

We could not but call L1 SK No. 1 conscientious, since over several decades of work the company has delivered more than 200 houses. Many projects have unique architecture for St. Petersburg, for example, residential complex Emerald Island, Amber Coast, Imperial. Since 2012, the developer has handed over the keys to 6,700 apartments, with no major delays. At the same time, 4-5 complexes are being built, the last was the Marshal residential complex.

Buyers say that the company is reliable, but the work needs to be monitored. The apartment is occupied by different teams, so the quality of finishing varies in the rooms. The process moves slowly, but does not freeze completely. There are regular problems with the heating supply, between commissioning and receiving the keys takes up to six months. There are no serious jambs, but there are many comments on the finish. It is recommended to take without it. Not all workers comply with the regime, sometimes they make noise late at night or early in the morning. Social facilities are being built very slowly, there are no kindergartens and schools in the new districts.

5 northern city

We considered Northern City, which appeared in 1993 in the RBI group, to be one of the most conscientious. The company builds comfort-class houses, focusing on ecology and convenience. There are apartments in St. Petersburg and the region. The company equips "cities within a city" that have a developed infrastructure: social institutions, sports grounds, parking lots, shops and parks. In 2017, the organization won the Consumer Trust Award. We were somewhat embarrassed by a not very informative site, there is not enough information about the objects, the number of apartments, their area. But the most popular projects are named: "House on the bend of the Neva", Mistola Hills and "Time House near Moscow".

In 2017-2018, the developer had problems with deadlines, but they were resolved in 6 months. At the same time, in a hurry, the company made mistakes in planning: there were holes in the walls, cracks in the pipes, and concrete structures were crooked. Many refused to sign the acceptance agreement and waited several more months. The company does not report on the progress of construction, ignores questions or sends to read the contract. Their social networks are closed from comments. The documents contain clauses that allow you to bypass FZ-214. In general, it is safest to purchase apartments without finishing in the last stages of construction.

4 Setl City

We considered one of the most reliable Setl City, which appeared in St. Petersburg in 1994, selling real estate in all price segments. You can choose between comfort and business class apartments, as well as elite options in premium areas.The company's portfolio includes 200 residential properties, the territory is ennobled with park areas and entertainment venues. Kindergartens and parking lots are being built. The company cooperates with the best banks in the country, offering profitable mortgages. The cost of apartments varies from 2 to 90 million. We are pleased with the stable financial growth and increase in sales.

Buyers do not recommend overpaying for "species" housing on the top floors, as the layout of the area will not allow you to enjoy nature or the river. But on the site there is a broadcast from the construction site. The company has already survived several crises, handing over all the houses. There were delays, but big scandals were avoided. When buying a turnkey finish, it is important to carefully check everything, the apartment is rarely accepted the first time. For example, there is a swollen laminate, curved tiles in the bathroom, scratched glass. Unfortunately, plumbing, doors and windows are made of cheap materials, even in comfort-class homes.

3 Reference

The standard has earned the title of a conscientious developer due to an integrated approach to the construction of buildings. The company includes 65 firms engaged in development, design, preparation, materials, construction and operation. The standard is concentrated on comfort and business class housing, one of the brightest examples is the Botanika complex. The site regularly publishes financial data, there is information about the management. We liked that the project declarations and their changes were posted. The "Construction Bulletin" is updated monthly, where the progress of work is described in pictures. In addition to the website, the company regularly updates data on social networks and Youtube.

The reviews show that the best apartments are sold without finishing. There are many jambs, and after the adoption of housing they will not be corrected. From the first time it is difficult to see all the errors, so many had to correct them on their own. The cheapest materials are used for finishing, as a result, it is impossible to save on repairs. But the developer is pleased with the stable growth, sales increase by 20% -30% annually. Some objects have been handed over under the brand name "Etalon-Invest" and "LenSpetsSMU", but this is the same company.

2 CDS

We put CDS, which opened in 1999 and regularly delivers new projects, in a worthy place in the top. During this time, the company has built several hundred houses. In 2018, CDS sold apartments in 18 complexes, most of which have good infrastructure. The developer does not forget about kindergartens, clinics and schools. The company is focused on economical housing and cooperates with all popular banks, offering more than 50 programs. The firm welcomes maternity capital and military mortgages.

Buyers talk about a decent finish from the developer, there are no serious complaints. The materials are simple and affordable. However, the firm several times seriously missed the deadlines, making buyers nervous. There are problems with parking zones; a house of 600 apartments can have 60 parking spaces. As a result, neighboring yards, parking lots and playgrounds were clogged. It is important to note that the prices indicated on the site are based on a 100% lump sum payment. Under any other conditions, they are far from being so profitable, the final cost can be an unpleasant surprise.

1 YIT St. Petersburg

We considered YIT Saint-Petersburg to be the best developer, which released about 200 objects. The main areas of activity are comfort and business class buildings, the design of the adjacent territory. In 2017, the company won several competitions for the quality of work and reliability. It is possible to take a mortgage, arrange installments or get a discount on full payment. Houses are handed over on time, keys are handed over quickly. Buyers have complaints about the finish, but there are much fewer jambs than others. The walls are even, the materials are of high quality. The company has the right to change the area of ​​the apartment by 1 meter, as stated in the contract.

Buyers warn that you need to be careful with repairs from the developer. The contract specifies analogues of materials that are worse in quality than the original ones. The walls and communications are "smart", so you should not drill and hammer nails without preparation. The houses are well-made, the surrounding area is well-groomed, there are green areas. The company observes the mode of noisy work, does not disturb at night. However, there is always a shortage of surface parking spaces; this is a typical problem for St. Petersburg.
