Overview
When you need a lawyer on the ground
Every property deal in Ukraine is certified by a notary, and every document must be in order on the day of signing. We check the property and the other side in advance, prepare an authorisation that says exactly what your representative may do, and make sure the money and the title move at the same moment.

FAQ
What clients ask before filing
Not covered here? Ask an attorney directly during your consultation.
Can I transfer the money abroad?
Yes, within the National Bank of Ukraine's current currency rules, which are tighter under martial law.
Will I pay tax on the sale?
A Ukrainian tax resident selling one property per year owned for more than three years usually pays no income tax. Otherwise income tax and military levy apply.
What do you check before purchase?
The seller's title, register entries, arrests and mortgages, the spouse's consent, registered residents and, for new buildings, permits.
Can I sell property in Ukraine without coming?
Yes, through a representative acting under a notarised power of attorney certified at a consulate or abroad with an apostille.
Can I buy property in Ukraine without coming in person?
Yes. A representative can sign the purchase under a power of attorney certified at a consulate or by a local notary with an apostille.
