02 / Four phases

What happens inside each stage of the search

The same four phases run for every client. Deliverables and your own inputs are listed in the order they occur.

  1. 01

    Brief and budget model

    You finish with a written brief and a cost ceiling that matches what the district charges today.

    Deliverables

    • Market research pack: median US$/m² across 8 to 12 Kyiv districts
    • Budget model: rent or price, agency fee, deposit, utilities
    • 12-month trend arrows plus a note on the districts ruled out

    You provide

    • Budget range, rent or purchase
    • Move-in date and acceptable commute
    • Must-haves: floor, parking, shelter access

  2. 02

    Shortlist build

    You receive a short list of apartments that have already been checked, not a dump of portal results.

    Deliverables

    • 6 to 10 verified listings with m², floor, build year and US$/m²
    • A building note per candidate: entrance, yard, street noise
    • A kept or rejected line explaining each decision

    You provide

    • Your ranking of priorities
    • Feedback within 24 hours

  3. 03

    Seller contact and document pre-check

    We speak to the owner or their agent on your behalf and confirm the paperwork before you travel.

    Deliverables

    • Written outreach to the owner or their agent
    • Ownership extract, encumbrance and arrears check
    • Confirmation of who pays commission and what it covers

    You provide

    • Written authority to negotiate
    • Your maximum offer or rent ceiling

  4. 04

    Viewing route and handover

    Viewings are grouped into one route, then we stay with the deal through contract and keys.

    Deliverables

    • One-day route of up to 5 apartments, agent present
    • Condition checklist per property and a comparison sheet
    • Contract review and key handover support

    You provide

    • Two viewing windows that suit you
    • The decision-maker present, deposit ready in hryvnia

Fees are disclosed before phase two begins. We are an agency, not the property owner, and availability or prices can change, so each listing is verified again before it is presented to you.

Send us your brief or see what is included in each phase.

04 / Included

What is included, and what is not

One fixed fee covers the four-phase search protocol. Below is the exact scope we sign for, and the work that stays outside it.

Included in the engagement

  • Market research across the districts you name, with price per square metre ranges as of 2025-03.
  • Budget model separating purchase price, agency fee, notary and state registration costs.
  • A shortlist of up to 12 verified apartments, each checked before it reaches you.
  • Direct contact with owners and their agents, including price negotiation on your behalf.
  • Document pre-check: ownership extract, encumbrances, utility arrears, renovation permits.
  • Viewing schedules planned by transport time, two to five apartments per half-day.
  • A written summary after each viewing block, with a kept or rejected note per apartment.
  • Support at the notary appointment and at handover of the keys.

Not included

  • Legal representation in court or in a dispute already under way.
  • Mortgage brokerage: we read bank terms with you, we do not arrange the loan.
  • Renovation design, contractors or furniture sourcing after handover.
  • Property management, tenant placement or short-let operation.
  • Tax filing and the state registration fee itself, both paid directly by you.
  • Viewings outside the agreed city, unless we quote a separate route in advance.

We are an agency, not a property owner. Availability and prices change; every listing is verified again on the day we present it. All fees are disclosed upfront, with no hidden charges. Questions about scope go to the contact form.
