Land auctions are conducted in the electronic trading system (electronic auction) in real time on the Internet, based on the results of which a contract of sale, lease, superficiation, emphyteussis of the land plot is concluded with the participant (winner) of the land auction, who offered the highest price for the land the plot for sale, or the highest price for the acquisition of emphytheusis rights, surface area, or the highest amount of rent fixed during land auctions (Article 135 of the Land Code of Ukraine).

Today, permission to change the purpose of the land plot is no longer required. The first step requires a notarized application to change the purpose of the land plot, signed by the owner. It is this statement that will be the basis for the development of the land management project regarding the change in the purpose of the land in the next step. On July 1, 2021, the ban on changing the purpose and type of use of land plots for commercial agricultural production, land plots allocated in kind to the owners of land plots for the management of personal peasant farms and land plots (shares) was canceled.

Part 6 of Article 20 of the Land Code of Ukraine establishes that changing the purpose of a land plot does not require:

• development of land management documentation (except in cases of formation of a land plot from state and communal property, not formed into land plots);

• decision-making by the Verkhovna Rada of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea, the Council of Ministers of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea, the executive power body and the local self-government body (except for decisions on establishing and changing the purpose of land plots, which are issued by such bodies).

The second step will be to apply to the land management organization with a notarized application for a change of purpose, in order to prepare a land management project regarding the allocation of the land plot with a change of its purpose. To do this, it is necessary to conclude a contract with the land management organization, in which the cost of the works and the terms of execution must be clearly defined. Pay attention to the fact that the contract specifies specific deadlines for the work. Only a person who has a certificate of a land management engineer can be the executor of works on the construction of a land management project. The list of such persons is posted on the official website of the State Geocadaster (https://dzk.gov.ua/).

The third step on the way to changing the purpose of the land plot will be the implementation of geodetic works by the land management organization and the development of the land management project regarding the allocation of the land plot within the terms established by the contract. The boundaries of the land plot, if necessary, must be fixed with boundary signs of the established model. The land management project must be drawn up in paper form and in the form of an electronic document.

The fourth step on the way to changing the intended purpose of a land plot is to apply to the body authorized to make a decision on changing the intended purpose of a land plot with a request for project approval. Therefore, it is necessary to apply to the village, settlement city council, and if the land plot is located outside the settlement - to the local state administration.

The fifth step, which must be carried out, is to submit a project on changing the purpose of the land plot to the state cadastral registrar to the local office of the State Geocadastre in order to enter information about the change of purpose to the State Land Cadastre.

The application is accompanied by a land management project developed and approved by the authorized bodies regarding the allocation of the land plot in paper form and in the form of an electronic document. This service is provided free of charge. Your application is considered by the state cadastral registrar within 14 days. The state cadastral registrar must issue an Extract from the State Land Cadastre.

The final step is to enter the new purpose of the land plot in the register of property rights.

Challenging a credit agreement is a rather complicated procedure. You should approach it wisely, otherwise, even if you have a winning position, you have every chance of incurring additional financial losses.

First of all, you first need to decide on the purpose of the trial, it can be the invalidation of the contract, the reduction of payments accrued by the bank, or the cancellation of fines. An examination of the contract and the terms of its signing, verification of the bank's compliance with the terms of the agreement, as well as a recalculation of accrued payments and fines are also required. Based on the collected data, it will be possible to determine the purpose of the lawsuit, its economic feasibility and the chances of successful completion of the case.

Secondly, it is logical not to bring the case to court and try to conclude a settlement agreement. Not all bankers are such terrible and greedy villains who dream of driving the client into a debt pit and taking away all his property. Therefore, if you have compelling circumstances to ask for a postponement or reduction of payments, as well as a sufficient evidence base for the court, it will be faster and more profitable for the bank to conclude a new mutually beneficial contract with you.

Thirdly, during the court process, no one releases the borrower from his obligation to repay the loan. If the contract was not terminated, but you still stopped paying for it, then during the trial you will receive new fines, and the bank will accuse you of dishonesty. Therefore, it is mandatory to demand the suspension of the credit agreement for the duration of the trial when filing a lawsuit. If the bank sued you, then you need to file a counterclaim with this claim.

Due diligence is translated from English as a full legal examination - a detailed report-analysis of the real estate object, its acquisition history and possible risks after acquisition. The procedure is a detailed independent inspection of the investment object, carried out on behalf of investors to form an objective view of the investment object.

In the third month of Russia's war against Ukraine, the government opened up the opportunity to conclude deals on the real estate market again. The Cabinet of Ministers opened access to the registers, but additional conditions appeared during the conclusion of purchase and sale agreements. The government allowed the registration of property sales agreements, albeit with several restrictions.

The most important of them is that within 30 days after the registration of the property right, no actions can be taken, in fact, with the real estate. This is done to prevent fraud. Also, the Cabinet of Ministers banned the purchase and sale of housing by power of attorney. This will actually deprive those citizens who have moved abroad of the opportunity to sell their apartments or houses.

This requirement applies in accordance with the resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine dated 05.03.2022 No. 206 (https://zakon.rada.gov.ua/laws/show/206-2022-%D0%BF#Text)

• received assistance or compensation in accordance with the legislation from the social protection authorities.
