Oleg-- thank you for your response. You are right, usually the capitalized words would be defined in a contract but in this one, this word is not and it is the only place where it appears...

Angela, thank you for your response! Yes, the sentence does seem oddly constructed

Oleg Lozinskiy Apr 17:

As "Индивидуальная" is Capitalized in this sentence, isn't there in this Purchase&Sale (or Sale&Purchase) Contract any defined term with this capitalization (it seems that the follow-up word has been inadvertently omitted). Because of the grammatical rules of the Russian language, it cannot be "владение" ("possession") or "пользование" ("use"), but only "собственность" ("ownership"). And according to Russian laws a real estate can be in the "individual", or "joint", or "cooperative", or "corporate" ownership.

If it is really "индивидуальная собственность" that is in question, in order not to plunge into these legalese details I would rather translate it as exclusive ownership (meaning that the Buyer - whoever it is - acquires ALL rights of ownership to the real estate (in this case - apartment) in question.

Can you provide a full sentence please? Thank you

Angela Greenfield Apr 17:

For personal use As opposed to “commercial use” or “joint ownership”
Also, the original sentence is built incorrectly, so it makes you confused. Should be “в индивидуальнУЮ собственность”
