Our process
We are a selection service, not an estate agency. You pay a fixed fee for research, viewings, negotiation support and paperwork checks. We take nothing from sellers, so the shortlist you see is the shortlist we would choose for ourselves. Our specialists work across Poltava, Cherkasy, Zhytomyr and the Carpathian foothills.
A 45-minute call, by phone or video. We map your budget, how far you are willing to travel from Kyiv, your heating preference and how many weeks a year you plan to spend here. You leave with a realistic price range for the districts you named.
Within five working days you receive a written brief and 6 to 10 houses, each with photos, land size, utilities, asking price and the reason it made the list. A regional specialist visits every one of them before you ever read about it.
We plan a two or three day route and drive it with you, usually four to six houses a day. You get a written comparison sheet the evening after each visit, including what we think is wrong with the house you liked most.
Before any deposit moves we check the ownership record, cadastral number, encumbrances, inheritance claims, plot access and utility connections. Then we negotiate the price on your behalf and put the agreed terms in writing. Our due diligence checks set out each stage.
We stay on the file through notary certification, payment and registration, then hand over a folder with every document, contact and meter reading. For six months afterwards we answer questions about local builders, firewood suppliers and garden help at no extra charge.
The fee is agreed in writing before the first viewing. See what a selection costs or book a consultation.
Fees and what they cover
We are a selection service, not real estate agents. You pay us a fixed fee for the work and you pay the seller directly for the house. No percentage of the deal and no hidden margin folded into the asking price.

A 45 minute call where we look at your budget, travel time from Kyiv and the regions that actually fit. You leave with a shortlist and a straight answer on whether a country house suits you.

Before any money moves we verify the owner, the land and the paperwork. A partner lawyer reviews the draft agreement with you, line by line, in Ukrainian and in plain language.

Fees are paid in stages: half when the shortlist starts, half after the handover checklist is closed. If we find nothing worth your time, the second payment is returned.
Due diligence
A cottage can look perfect and still carry a hidden lien, a disputed boundary, or a land category that forbids year-round living. Our check runs before any deposit changes hands.
We are a selection service, not a real estate agency. We do not sell the house, so we have no reason to soften what the registry says.
Send us a property to reviewWe match the registered owner against the person signing, then check powers of attorney, inheritance files and marital consent where they apply.
Mortgages, arrests, easements and utility arrears are pulled from the state registers and confirmed in writing before the notary appointment.
We confirm whether the plot is zoned for residential building or only for farming, so a summer house does not turn into a registration problem later.
Geodetic data and the technical passport are compared with what stands on the ground: fence lines, well, septic tank and the real connection capacity.
A lawyer prepares the purchase agreement, handles the notary and registry filing, and explains each clause in plain language.
Common questions
We are a country house and cottage selection service, not a real estate agency. These are the questions buyers ask most often before the first call.
No. We work for you, the buyer. We shortlist countryside houses and cottages, read the documents, inspect the land and stay neutral on price. Every purchase agreement is signed directly between you and the owner.
We start with a short brief, then send a first shortlist, then arrange viewings, then run checks on the properties you like. The full sequence is described on the process page.
We charge a fixed selection fee agreed before any work begins. We take no commission from sellers and no percentage of the sale price. Our pricing section lists what each stage includes.
Ownership history, encumbrances, the land plot boundary and designated use, utility connections, access roads and outstanding debts. You receive a written summary before you make an offer. See the due diligence page for the checklist.
A first shortlist usually arrives within five working days. Most buyers reach a signed agreement in six to ten weeks, depending on how narrow the brief is and how far the property sits from Kyiv.
We work across the Kyiv region, Poltava, Cherkasy, Zhytomyr and the Carpathian foothills. Local contacts in each area let us verify a plot on the ground rather than from a listing photo.
Yes. Nothing is agreed before you have stood on the land yourself. We accompany every viewing and answer questions on the spot, then send notes afterwards.
