English support for the real estate purchase process for foreigners

 YOUR GOAL

How Can a Foreigner Safely Buy Real Estate in Ukraine in 2026?

Your primary goal is to buy real estate in Ukraine—whether an apartment, house, or commercial property—safely, transparently, and with a clear understanding of every step involved in the transaction.

Unfortunately, real estate transactions can sometimes be declared invalid. In such cases, the buyer may lose their savings without obtaining legal ownership of the property. The risks are even greater for foreign buyers who are unfamiliar with Ukrainian law and do not speak (or have limited knowledge of) the Ukrainian language.

Key risks for foreign buyers who do not speak Ukrainian:

• Language barrier — all official documents, purchase agreements, government registries, and communication with the notary are conducted in Ukrainian. Without professional translation and legal assistance, it is easy to overlook critical details, which may result in costly mistakes or refusal to register the transaction. In many cases, the notary will also require a certified interpreter.
• Risk of fraud and hidden issues — double sales (especially in new developments), forged documents, unauthorized renovations, unpaid utility debts, ongoing court disputes, or problems involving the property developer. Without conducting proper due diligence and checking official property and court registries, you could lose your investment.
• Legal restrictions for foreigners — foreign nationals are generally allowed to purchase residential and commercial real estate in Ukraine, but agricultural land cannot be purchased (until permitted by future legislation or referendum). Land plots associated with buildings may also involve specific legal requirements depending on their designation and location.
• War-related and economic risks — properties may have suffered damage, market prices can fluctuate significantly, financing options may be limited, and notaries are required to verify the legal source of funds. Ukraine also differs from many Western countries because there are no standard property inspection contingencies, payments must be made through the banking system (in Ukrainian hryvnia or other permitted currencies), and buyers often negotiate directly with sellers.
• Tax and administrative requirements — foreign buyers must obtain a Ukrainian tax identification number (TIN), complete all payments correctly, and pay all applicable taxes and government fees. Administrative mistakes may result in penalties, delays, or even the cancellation of the transaction.

That is why working with a trusted legal partner is not simply a convenience—it is essential. An experienced professional can translate documents, explain every legal requirement, verify the property's legal status, and protect your interests throughout every stage of buying real estate in Ukraine.

 OUR SOLUTION

What Does Professional English-Language Legal Support Include?

• Comprehensive real estate due diligence — a full legal review of the property's ownership history, the developer's reputation, existing encumbrances, court cases, and any potential legal or financial risks.
• Translation and explanation of all legal documents — you fully understand every clause of the real estate purchase agreement before signing.
• End-to-end transaction support — from property search and negotiations to notarization, closing the transaction, and registering your ownership rights.
• Risk reduction and legal protection — cooperation with trusted notaries, banks, and real estate lawyers, along with professional guidance on secure payment procedures.
• Tax planning for non-residents — we help structure your property purchase correctly by taking into account all mandatory acquisition costs, including the 1% Pension Fund contribution, state duty, and notary fees. More importantly, we help you plan for future tax obligations. When selling Ukrainian real estate, non-residents may be subject to an 18% personal income tax plus a 5% military tax unless an exemption applies. A 0% tax rate may be available once per calendar year for the sale of residential property owned for more than three years. We explain how to document acquisition costs properly, minimize future tax exposure, and optimize your tax position when reselling the property.
• Maximum convenience for international buyers — the transaction can be completed remotely through a power of attorney (with an apostille or consular legalization where required), and all consultations are available online.

With our professional legal support, you avoid the most common pitfalls of buying property in Ukraine, save valuable time, reduce stress, and acquire legally verified real estate with minimal risk.
