The purchase of apartments in houses under construction has long been a commonplace among our compatriots. However, so far this process has been fraught with a number of problems, the most important of which is the delay in the commissioning of the facility. This distinguishes a large part of Russian companies, both beginners and large companies working in this industry for several decades. Therefore, when choosing a builder, you should focus not only on how quickly he passes his complexes, but also on a host of other factors, which we will tell about using the example of the Leader Group company. It is a vivid illustration of how honestly working, you can grow from a small organization into a large corporation, erecting objects in different parts of Russia.
We will actively use the feedback from the Leader of the groups in the article in order not to be unfounded and to support our conclusions with real opinions of people.
We form an idea of the developer
Lider Group LLC has been actively conquering the construction market in recent years. The company manages to build detached residential properties, ultra-modern residential complexes and commercial real estate on individual projects. Despite the abundance of directions, the developer copes with its duties and hand over most of the objects on time. If forced delays occur, they usually last no more than six months. This period is considered minimal and is often associated with force majeure circumstances.
To date, the "Leader of the groups" (in the feedback from real estate investors you can always find the necessary information about residential complexes under construction) boasts eleven commissioned properties. Another 15 are at different stages of construction and 4 complexes are only being designed. If you translate all these numbers into square meters, then we can say that the developer has more than one million squares of the area, which is used for different purposes.
On his website, the developer publishes information that he managed to pass objects completely different in their purpose. They can be classified as follows:
- residential complexes;
- microdistricts of economy class;
- Hotels
- shopping malls;
- business centers;
- objects of social infrastructure.
I would like to note that Leader Group LLC operates mainly in Moscow and St. Petersburg. The company also conducts many projects in metropolitan areas. Quite often there are also rumors that the developer plans to come to the regions, which will open up many horizons for many of our compatriots in the field of construction and will give greater opportunities when choosing an apartment in a new building.
History of the company and its features
The feedback from real estate investors about Leader of the Group contains information about the facilities under construction and their own experience of cooperation with the developer, but from these comments you will not learn anything about the company itself. And her story deserves attention, because few of these organizations have managed to stay afloat since the 90s.
The future developer "Leader of the groups" began its activity 26 years ago. At this time, the company was a small design office. She was engaged in the development of documents for all existing types of real estate. However, the leader of the “Group Leader” turned out to be quite talented and very skillfully selected personnel for his brainchild. This allowed in a few years to move from project development to construction. The beginning of this activity was laid by the first few residential complexes.
10 years after its formation, the company completely re-qualified as a construction company, ready to provide customers with a range of services, which became its main distinguishing feature.
Creation of a holding: a group of companies included in its structure
Today, the company "Leader Group" is a real holding, which includes several organizations for various purposes. First of all, this is the design office, with which the activities of the builder began. Therefore, the company has the opportunity to independently develop project documentation, which significantly reduces construction costs.
At the same time, the holding includes several companies performing the functions of a direct developer on an equal footing. The entry of two organizations involved in the transportation of concrete mixtures and the lease of tower cranes significantly changed the activities of the "Leader Group".
The company owns a large fleet of equipment, so the construction of facilities is proceeding at a very fast pace. In most reviews of the “Leader of the groups,” equity holders note that it was this fact that tipped the scales in favor of buying an apartment from this holding. Many write that they visited construction sites more than once and watched a high-rise building appear from the foundation pit as soon as possible.
It is noteworthy that in recent years, interest in this company from potential buyers has increased. Therefore, many new buildings near Moscow were erected by this developer.
Holding activity: brief description
Since the "Leader of the groups" is very active, it is not surprising that he has the right to execute and carry out a large number of diverse transactions.
For example, quite often the holding acts as an investor. He finances his and third-party projects, which can become quite profitable in the future.
In addition to construction, the company sells residential and commercial real estate. It makes it possible to purchase an apartment not only through mortgage lending, but also by installments. The latter option is of great interest to buyers, because it allows you to avoid significant overpayment and makes the prices of "Leader groups" as attractive as possible.
Regarding some real estate put into operation, the holding acts as a management company. The company's specialists are also involved in supporting transactions with the purchase of real estate.
To date, the holding is accredited with almost twenty of the largest banks in Russia. This number includes Sberbank, VTB 24 and Sovcombank. A large selection of credit organizations gives buyers ample opportunity to purchase an apartment.
Three years ago, Leader of the Group confidently entered the top three Russian leaders involved in the construction of residential facilities. Until now, the company has not lost its position.
Why do people choose Group Leader?
Our compatriots choose new buildings of the described company very often. Of course, not everyone comes to this choice consciously. Sometimes buyers have enough good reviews in the media, which, incidentally, do not always correspond to reality. Therefore, we decided, focusing on real comments, to find out what exactly attracts the residents of Central Russia in apartments from Leader Group.
To choose the right developer, you need to make a personal opinion about him. Therefore, it is worth not only to visit the office of the company, but also all available facilities under construction. Clients of the “Leader of groups” write in their reviews that even a few visits to construction sites are enough to understand how responsible the developer is. His houses are being built quickly, work is going smoothly and without days off, and the order at the construction site speaks for itself.
It is definitely worth spending time searching for information on commissioned real estate objects of the company.In this case, it is necessary to consider not only residential complexes, but also commercial buildings. From them you can understand a lot about the work of the builder. For example, among the objects of the "Leader of the groups" stands out a business center, built in the form of a tower in St. Petersburg. This building is so unusual that it strikes the imagination of even an outside observer, and even more impressive is the one who plans to conclude a shared construction agreement with the developer.
Of course, “Leader of the groups” is not going smoothly. There are those objects, the delivery of which is postponed for some time. However, these problems are resolved and the developer is working to complete the construction within the deadlines promised to customers.
Another characteristic, on the basis of which people choose the “Group Leader”, is the quality of the constructed objects. The fact is that very often developers are trying to save money, and after a couple of years, a new building in the Moscow Region or in any other region can “please” with cracks in the facade, rickety windows and half-collapsed balconies. Such a picture, unfortunately, is not at all uncommon. But the high-rise buildings from Leader Group stand out against this background by quality that has already been tested for years and has received high marks from residents.
First or second stage houses: what to choose
When choosing an apartment, it is very important to decide on the line of delivery of the house. The fact is that buyers are not always able to correctly evaluate the pros and cons of one or another option. And here it is worth focusing on the advice of the builder. If you turn to the Leader of the Group managers, they can describe the situation to you unvarnished. So, let's look at this issue, referring to the comments of the holding’s specialists:
- Houses of the first stage, of course, surrender first. Therefore, apartments in them are bought very actively, because everyone wants to quickly move into their new housing and enjoy the comfort and coziness. However, it should be borne in mind that developers usually erect entire microdistricts of new buildings or residential complexes consisting of several buildings. Therefore, after the houses of the first stage, the structures of the second and third stage will be erected. This means that under the windows of your cozy apartment the construction site will make noise for several years and dust will stand as a pillar. In addition, usually before the commissioning of all facilities no one will be engaged in the arrangement of the territory and infrastructure. This creates some inconvenience to new residents.
- It seems to be much more convenient to buy an apartment in a house of the second turn of commissioning. Buyers can already appreciate the scale of construction and the quality of finished housing. In addition, they gain confidence that the developer fulfills his obligations on time. One of the advantages of such apartments is the fact that tenants move into houses, around which the construction of infrastructure facilities immediately begins.
Based on the foregoing, you can more definitely approach the choice of housing for yourself and your family.
Features of installments in "Leader of groups"
The installment option is of interest to quite a few buyers, so we decided to dwell on this point in more detail. Keep in mind that the "Leader of the groups" does not give installments for all of his projects. However, if the residential complex of your choice falls into this category, then you are very lucky. Usually, at the conclusion of the contract, buyers pay only 30% of the total cost of the apartment. The remaining amount is divided into equal payments until the house is commissioned. It should be borne in mind that in the framework of the campaign, with this option of settlements, the company often gives a ten percent discount. Thus, housing is much cheaper than originally stated.
It is nice that all the nuances of installments can be found even at the stage of telephone conversations with the manager. If you know exactly what amount you plan to pay initially, then all other payments will be calculated during the conversation and only then will you make an appointment at the office.
During a personal meeting, buyers get the opportunity to choose the layout of the apartment and once again say all the points. If you want to conclude an agreement on the same day, then you will need to pay 10% of the down payment to the cashier. The remaining amount will have to be transferred to the company account within two weeks from the date of signing the securities.
Judging by the reviews, the process itself does not take more than one and a half hours. During this time, managers will prepare 4 copies of the shared construction agreement and one copy of the loan. Buyers in their comments advise you to prepare in advance with a notary a paper stating that your wife is not opposed to purchasing a home or that you are not burdened by family obligations.
The only additional investment on the part of buyers is the fee for registering the contract with the relevant authorities. This amount usually does not exceed 7 thousand rubles.
In the reviews, most of the holding’s clients highly value the work of managers and remain satisfied with the opportunities given by the company.
LCD "Mendeleev": project description
This new building has already been commissioned and every day the number of available apartments is getting smaller. The building belongs to the economy class, but nevertheless, a three-room apartment, with an area of more than 100 m², will cost customers about 11 million rubles.
LCD "Mendeleev" was erected in Khimki and is a twenty-five-story building with underground parking. The apartments are sold without finishing and boast high ceilings under 3 meters.

LCD "Bosphorus"
This residential complex among residents of St. Petersburg is considered one of the best facilities under construction in the city. It belongs to the economy class, but most of the materials used in construction are of a higher level.
In a horseshoe-shaped house, apartments of various categories are sold. Buyers can choose for themselves a studio or a chic two-room option, if they have certain financial capabilities. On average, the price range for housing in this complex ranges from two to four million rubles.
Within walking distance of the Bosphorus residential complex being built by the Leader Group, there are a school, a kindergarten, beauty salons, shopping centers and other social infrastructure facilities.
New building in Mytishchi district
Among the largest projects of new buildings in the Moscow region stands out "Big Mytishchi - Taininskaya" from the "Leader of the groups." This project is already under construction is considered special.
The fact is that it will be erected on the site of fifty of dilapidated buildings. New homes will have different number of storeys and belong to the comfort class. Buyers consider apartments here as a profitable investment, because neighborhoods with developed infrastructure are located nearby. Housing will be rented out without finishing, and the houses themselves are equipped with the most modern systems.
The cost of apartments in new buildings varies from three to seven million rubles, which is considered quite acceptable for housing of this class. Within the framework of the project, the developer promises to build an autonomous neighborhood, in which all categories of the population will be comfortable living.
