Registration of ownership of an apartment in a new building

The registration of ownership of an apartment in a new building, as well as rights to other types of real estate, is regulated in Ukraine by the Law on State Registration of Rights to Real Estate and its Encumbrances.

In order to be able to sell the property, pledge it as collateral, donate it, or inherit it, it is necessary to properly formalize the ownership of the property.

Previously, the documents confirming the right to own a residential property in a new building were a certificate of ownership and an extract from the State Register. Since the beginning of 2016, the issuance of the certificate has been canceled. The State Registration Service, which used to register property rights, was succeeded by the Department of State Registration under the Ministry of Justice.

State registrars and notaries are now authorized to register real estate rights and enter the necessary information into the Register.
