Real Estate Lawyer in Kyiv, Ukraine
You want to purchase real estate in Kyiv, Ukraine after having read my article, and require a good lawyer to help you navigate the process?
Taras will ensure you do not get “played” because let’s face it, that’s always a risk as a foreigner.
Buying real estate in Ukraine entails many potential traps. There are title deeds with gaps in ownership history, past transactions that were not concluded properly, potential claims due to bad debt, and homeowners associations that are bankrupt and cannot cover basic maintenance. It’s very important to have a competent lawyer to help you navigate the process.
Taras has been helping foreigners conduct business in Ukraine for many years now. He can help in all matters related to immigration, business law, and real estate transactions.
He went to law school Lviv, has been working as a lawyer for a number of years in Kyiv, and processes more than a hundred residence permits and over a dozen real estate transactions per year.
IMPORTANT: Be careful before using a lawyer proposed by your real estate agent. This point is valid for any international market in which you choose to invest. The reality is that there can be a conflict of interest in such cases. Though you are officially the lawyer’s client, who is more important? You and your single transaction, or the agent that brings dozens of clients? Using your own lawyer won’t be more expensive, but will offer you much more security.Â
Taras can help you with real estate anywhere in Ukraine, not just in Kyiv.
