Land and Construction

On 1 July 2021, the 19-year moratorium on the sale of land in Ukraine came to an end. With the opening of the land market, there has been a sharp rise in demand from both ordinary citizens and businesspeople for legal support in land purchase and sale transactions.

One of the main uses of land is the construction of new properties on it. Amid the uncertainty surrounding the reform of the State Architectural and Construction Inspectorate, it is precisely legal support that will help you save time and money so that you can focus on your business processes.

Dictum Law Firm will ensure a thorough vetting of the parties to lease and sale and purchase agreements for land plots, the properties themselves, any encumbrances on them and all additional legal nuances; engage specialists to verify the valuation of the land plot, represent the client’s interests during the signing of sale and purchase agreements, and provide support on all matters relating to the subsequent use and disposal of the land plot.

In the field of property development support, Dictum’s lawyers will assist you in implementing property projects of various scales and levels of complexity.
