The basic home appraisal checklist
For an apartment appraisal in Ukraine a minimal package is usually enough:
- the title document — ownership certificate, purchase, gift or exchange contract, inheritance certificate or a court decision;
- the technical passport of the apartment;
- the owner's passport and Ukrainian tax number (for owners abroad, a foreign passport works alongside the tax number);
- for a legal entity — company details and a document confirming the apartment on its balance sheet.
Photographs are not on your list: the appraiser takes them personally during the mandatory inspection of the apartment.
The package depends on the purpose
The appraisal requirements shift with what the report is for:
- for the notary (sale, gift, inheritance) — the basic package; the appraised value becomes the base for taxes and stamp duty;
- for a mortgage — the basic package plus the specific bank's requirements (see apartment appraisal for mortgage);
- for court — a retrospective valuation as of a past date is possible, working from archival records where access to the apartment itself no longer exists.
Title deeds lost, left behind or destroyed
Missing paperwork is not a reason to abandon the valuation — a situation we see constantly with owners who relocated abroad and left documents in Ukraine, or whose papers were lost in the war. Part of the data the appraiser retrieves directly from the State Register of Property Rights to Real Estate; where needed, we help restore or re-order the technical passport, and an attorney-in-fact in Ukraine can collect reissued documents on your behalf. We agree the exact checklist for your purpose at the start — so you do not spend weeks gathering papers that are not actually required.
Questions and answers
How much does an apartment appraisal cost? We quote the fee and timeline after receiving the apartment's characteristics and the purpose of the valuation: we assess the scope and agree a fixed price and schedule before signing. Write to [email protected].
Can an apartment be appraised without a technical passport? In a number of cases, yes — from register data and title documents. The technical passport is still preferable: it confirms the area and layout, so its absence can extend the timeline.
Are the documents different for a mortgage and for a notary? The basic package is the same. The difference is that a bank may add its own report requirements, while for the notary what matters is registration of the appraisal in the Unified Base.
I am abroad and all the papers are in Ukraine — where do we start? Start with scans of whatever you have and the property address: we check the register, tell you what is genuinely missing, and the rest is handled through your representative in Ukraine.
