Buying Real Estate in Ukraine as a Foreigne: Real Estate Lawyer for Foreign Clients in Ukraine
Stages of buying real estate by a foreigner in Ukraine:
- Selection of a real estate property by a foreign national (real estate agents and specialized agencies assisting foreign clients in Ukraine provide professional property search services and multilingual support).
- Preparation of documents for the purchase of real estate by a foreign national, including notarized translation of the foreign passport into Ukrainian and obtaining a Ukrainian tax identification number.
- Opening an investment account for a foreign national with a Ukrainian bank for the purpose of purchasing real estate.
- Real estate due diligence — legal review of the property prior to purchase, including verification of ownership.
- Preparation of the real estate purchase transaction (residential or commercial), including negotiations with the seller, contract review, and agreement on all key terms and conditions.
- Notarial services for executing the real estate transaction, payment of official fees, registration of ownership rights, and re-registration of utility service contracts.
Our real estate lawyers will help you to purchase reliable real estate in Ukraine, even without your physical presence, based on a notarized power of attorney. When issuing a power of attorney abroad, it is necessary to affix an apostille or obtain consular certification of the document. The company’s certified translators provide written translations of all required documents.
Also, foreigners can purchase residential buildings and land holdings attached to houses in Ukraine. Foreign citizens are entitled to freely dispose of their real estate: use, lease, donate, sell, contribute to the authorized capital of the company, and bequeath it. When investing more than EUR 100,000 in real estate, a foreign national may be eligible to apply for a residence permit in Ukraine. Immigration lawyers assist international clients with the preparation and submission of documents for obtaining an immigrant visa.
FAQ — Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, foreign nationals are generally allowed to purchase residential and commercial real estate in Ukraine. However, there are legal restrictions regarding the purchase of agricultural land, and each transaction requires careful legal review to ensure full compliance with Ukrainian law.
What legal services are included in investment support for foreign clients?
Comprehensive investment support includes legal due diligence of the property, verification of ownership rights, review and drafting of contracts, assistance with payments, tax and currency regulation advice, representation before notaries and state authorities, and full support until the registration of ownership is completed.
Do foreign buyers need to be present in Ukraine to complete a property transaction?
