How to Register Your Property Rights in Ukraine

First of all, the Bureau of Technical Inventory is now absent from the chain of this procedure, and its functions are performed by authorized employees of the state register and registered notaries who can provide BTI services in Kyiv and other cities of Ukraine.

The new system has received a lot of positive and negative feedback, but in any case, every person who wants to formalize their own rights to a particular housing must know how this procedure goes.

Where registration is carried out

It is mandatory to contact a notary who works at the location of the property. It is worth noting that if a citizen's property is located in a place where there are two or more bodies capable of state registration of property rights, the person is given the opportunity to independently choose any of them. For example, in Kyiv today, many specialists offer services, and you can submit an application anywhere.

Where to apply

You should apply directly to the bodies of the state register of the justice department only if the real estate sale and purchase transaction was conducted in 2013 or later, as well as if the property right was not registered before that time.

In this case, the law considers only apartments purchased from the developer in a building that has only recently been put into operation, as well as privatized or corporate real estate for which all share payments have been made.

Notaries register property rights immediately after the corresponding agreement on sale, donation, or other options for transferring housing is signed. It is worth noting that at the time of the transaction, the procedure for registering property rights must already have been carried out, even if it was done in accordance with the old legislation.

Thus, now it is not necessary to go anywhere after completing the transaction, but when choosing a notary, it is important to pay attention that the specialist has at least six years of work experience in the legal field, as this condition is established by current regulations. Thanks to this, the registration procedure has become much easier, and the execution of transactions for the transfer of property rights no longer scares people with huge paperwork.
