Selling Property in Ukraine from Canada

You can sell property in Ukraine without travelling: a representative you authorize signs the notarized sale in Ukraine under a power of attorney executed in Canada. LexRoota coordinates the full route — valuation-side document prep, buyer verification, the notary closing, the registry update, and the paperwork your bank will ask for when proceeds move. The sale act itself is executed by a licensed Ukrainian notary.

This service is for you if…

You own an apartment, house, or land in Ukraine and live in Canada

Buyer-side verification and coordination with the closing notary

Notary appointment, registry update, and post-closing confirmations

Sale documentation prepared for bank and source-of-funds questions that follow

Typical route

Selling Property in Ukraine from Canada

Day 1–3

Registry check

We pull the current registry record, confirm ownership and encumbrances, and list what the closing package still needs.

Assessment

Week 1–2

POA and package

The sale POA is drafted for the specific property and price floor; consular signing or notary plus apostille runs in parallel with document collection.

Week 3–6

Buyer and notary

The representative and realtor bring the deal to a fixed closing; the notary verifies the package and schedules the act.

Ukraine

Closing day

Sale act and registry

The notary executes the sale, the buyer's ownership registers, and settlement follows the agreed payment route.

Signed

Week after

Proceeds file

You receive the full closing set — act, registry confirmation, payment proofs — formatted for your bank's questions.

Done

Documents typically required

Ownership documents: title deed, purchase contract, or inheritance certificate

Your passport and RNOKPP tax number

Current registry extract (we pull it)

POA to your representative covering the sale

Spousal or co-owner consents where the title requires them

Debt clearances: utilities, building fees, taxes

Buyer details and the agreed price and payment terms

What the route depends on

Sole ownership versus co-owners or an inheritance share
Outstanding utility or mortgage debt attached to the title
The buyer's payment route: Ukrainian account, escrow, or staged settlement
Whether consular POA timing or the apostille route suits the closing date

What can slow or block this

Registry record showing an old passport number or transliteration, requiring a record update first
A POA whose scope misses the specific sale terms, rejected at the notary desk
Unsettled debts or an arrest on the property that surface at the registry check
A co-owner abroad who still needs their own POA, stretching the calendar

TIMING

With documents in order, a sale typically closes in 4–8 weeks from the first registry check; the POA leg takes its own 1–3 weeks inside that window.

FEES

Fixed coordination fee quoted in writing after the registry check; POA route from $390 CAD, with notary, registry, and state fees listed separately.

WHO ELSE IS INVOLVED

Licensed Ukrainian notary · State Registry of Real Property Rights · Your authorized representative · Canadian notary or Ukrainian consulate (POA) · Realtor and buyer's side

Common questions

Can the buyer pay me directly to a Canadian account?

Payment routes follow the deal structure and current NBU currency rules. Domestic settlement in Ukraine is the standard route; moving proceeds to Canada afterwards is a separate documented step we coordinate with the bank-side papers ready.

Do I have to be at the closing by video or in person?

Your representative signs under the POA and the notary closes the act in Ukraine. Your presence, in person or remote, is not required when the POA scope covers the sale precisely.

The apartment is co-owned with my sister, who also lives abroad. Can we sell?

Yes. Each co-owner signs their own POA on the same terms, and the notary closes with both representatives at the table. We coordinate both POA legs in parallel so the calendar stays tight.

What if the registry shows my old maiden name?

The notary closes against what the registry shows, so we update or document the name link first — usually with an apostilled marriage certificate — before the closing package is assembled.
