What is included in the legal support services for real estate transactions?
Our company provides legal support for both purchase and sale of real estate in Ukraine to foreign individuals and legal entities.
Turning to us, you will get guarantees of a safe and profitable transaction, fully legally protected.
We offer full comprehensive support. That means you don’t have to look for a notary, realtor, translator or other contractors for a successful transaction. We have reliable, trusted professionals, and we will provide you with their services to settle your problem.
What is the price of legal support for a real estate transaction?
When answering the question of how much a real estate lawyer costs, you should keep in mind that the cost depends on a number of factors related to the immediate subject of the transaction. For example, the price of legal support services for purchase of an apartment in the secondary market is higher than for a real estate transaction in the primary market.
In addition, if a non-resident will be involved in the transaction, it can also affect the cost of legal support services for a real estate transaction. There are so many factors that need to be taken into account before you make a deal with a citizen of another country. For example:
-
a bank account;
-
a Temporary Residence Permit, Permanent Residence Permit, Immigration Permit, or any other document confirming a person’s legal stay.
-
TIN (to pay taxes and sign agreements).
In addition, an important point is the characteristics of other parties to the transaction, because if you turn out to have a suspicious notary, realtor or other party that can not be replaced, it will likely increase the cost of transaction support.

Answers to frequently asked questions
Preparing for a transaction usually takes 1-2 days. The transaction usually takes less than an hour. Much depends, of course, on the quality of prepared documents and the precision of actions.
In this case, only a court and a lawyer can help you. Ideally, you should avoid such situations in advance by applying for a preliminary legal inspection of the property.
Much depends on the terms and conditions you agree on with your seller/buyer. The law provides for one situation, and in practice payments are often divided quite differently. Also, by choosing your seller’s notary, you run the risk of incurring additional costs.
Ideally, as soon as you have found a desired house, plot, or apartment, you should show it to a lawyer with all the documents. There are situations when a completely hopeless apartment or house without commissioning turns out to be a good object for investment, and there are situations when a real estate developer with an ideal reputation turns out to be bankrupt under arrest.
Assessment of risks of investing in real estate
Investing in real estate is a reliable and promising investment. However this medal has a downside − you can get caught in a scam by an unscrupulous seller. That is why we recommend ordering a consultation with a lawyer to assess the risks of investing in real estate. Our specialists will analyze the property in detail and on the basis of the information received they will recommend if you should invest your funds in it.
During the risk assessment we check not only documents for construction and design, but also the reputation of the developer. The cost of assessing the risks of investing in real estate is usually included in the packages which can be found on the page above. Individual cases can be discussed with our specialists.
Buy and sell real estate in Ukraine with the assistance of a lawyer
The experience of our lawyers consists of absolutely different and non-standard situations related to real estate transaction support.For example, one day we had to replace a notary because of his “criminal past”, which the Client did not even know about. Although the notary was recommended by the Client’s reliable realtor, who also had to be replaced, as the latter was disrupting the terms of providing the necessary information to lawyers and our Client.
In another situation, our lawyers easily accompanied the transaction with a foreign citizen, who had overstayed in Ukraine. And all this thanks to our reliable partners.
Do you want to make a legal and safe real estate transaction? Don’t hesitate to call us. We will take care of your safety in the process.
