What a purchase really costs

3 000 000 ₴ home in Ukraine

Notary fee + 1% pension (exempt resales) (1.5%): 45 000 ₴
Legal & due diligence (≈0.5%): 15 000 ₴
Cash needed at closing: 3 060 000 ₴

≈ +2% over the price. Wartime caveat first: martial law changes procedures (notaries by power of attorney, curfews, relocation). Pre-war norms: notary ≈1%, and a 1% pension-fund contribution the seller owes on first sales — the table prices the buyer side. Title registers in the State Register of Property Rights; the “technical inventory” legacy system still muddies older flats. Do not close without a fresh register extract.

Rentals run on rules

The rent side, in three lines

Deposits run one to two months (zabezpechennia).
Leases commonly run 12 months, notarized at will.
Martial-law eviction rules protect certain categories — verify tenant status before taking a building.

Kyiv prices off a wartime economy that kept paying; Lviv off relocation; Odesa off the port at a discount.

The market is disrupted by the ongoing war. Kyiv and eastern cities face significant risk; Lviv and western cities are more stable.

Foreign buyers can own apartments but not agricultural land. The legal framework exists but enforcement is challenging.
