01 / Methodology
Every apartment on this site is compared against at least three Ukrainian state registries before it goes live. If a claim cannot be matched to a record, the listing stays unpublished until it can.
We pull the current title holder and the registration date, then compare them with the name the seller or landlord gives us. A mismatch is a stop, not a footnote.
Mortgages, liens, court seizures, and utility debt tied to the address are checked in the unified register of prohibitions. Anything flagged is shown next to the asking price.
Building year, structural type, and floor count come from the cadastre record, not from the advert. Living area is reconciled against the technical passport to the square metre.
Each check produces a source and a date, and both appear on the listing. Continue to the registries we query and how often.
02 / Registry sources
Before a Kyiv apartment reaches our listings, we pull it through six official Ukrainian registers. Each one answers a single question: who owns it, what is owed on it, and whether the building legally exists.
| Registry | What the check covers | Source label |
|---|---|---|
| State Register of Real Property Rights | Owner on record, transfer history, mortgages, arrests and easements tied to the exact address and apartment number. | DRRP · 7-day refresh |
| Unified State Register of Legal Entities | The selling entity or developer: registration status, founders, beneficial owners, bankruptcy and suspension entries. | EDR · 14-day refresh |
| Register of Encumbrances on Movable Property | Registered liens on movable assets pledged by the seller, including equipment and vehicles named in the deal. | Movable liens · 14-day refresh |
| Unified Register of Debtors | Open enforcement proceedings against the owner or developer, including utility arrears recovered through enforcement. | AVRU · 7-day refresh |
| Unified State Register of Court Decisions | Filed and decided cases naming the seller or developer, scanned for property and contract disputes. | Court register · 30-day refresh |
| State Architectural and Construction Inspectorate | Construction permit, commissioning certificate, declared building year, number of floors and permitted use of the building. | DABI · checked at intake |
03 · Claim vs. registry comparison
A broker's description is a claim. A state register entry is a record. We render both in the same row, in the same unit, with the source and the date the extract was pulled. A claim that cannot be matched to a source does not publish.

Two people sign off before a listing reaches the site: a lawyer who reads the ownership chain, and a data analyst who pulls the registry extracts. Their names and sign-off dates are attached to the verification record of every apartment.
Legal review
Attorney-at-Law, admitted to the Kyiv City Bar
Olena reads the ownership chain back to the privatisation record and checks it against the State Register of Real Property Rights. She looks for inheritance claims, court encumbrances, liens, and shared ownership that a seller's summary would not mention. Apartments in pre-2000 buildings get a second pass on the technical passport.
Registry data
Data analyst, registry and market figures
Andrii pulls the extracts and compares the numbers the seller claims with the numbers the registries return: floor area, building year, utility arrears, and the last recorded transaction. He also builds the district cost index from registry data rather than asking prices, so the median price per m² in each district is traceable to a source.
