3/ Property for sale in Ukraine

The Ukrainian real estate market is definitely worthy of consideration for international property investors seeking longer term investment assets; and 2007 will be a good year for market entry. Although the best bargains to be had in the capital city of Kiev are long sold, there are plenty of alternative markets to explore.

The beautiful and largely unspoilt Crimean Peninsula in Southern Ukraine has been a hotspot for Ukrainian and Russian travel and tourism focus for generations and today its popularity is increasing among a wider international audience.

The peninsula is home to stunning beaches, amazing historic architecture, it has a temperate climate and it already has an active property market. Locations such as Yalta are particularly popular and the town has seen property prices rising consistently and strongly for the past few years but still prices are largely affordable.

An investor can consider buying to let to the tourism market with property management companies in abundance offering a well priced service – alternatives include renovating stock for resale to the growing numbers of affluent Ukrainians and Russians seeking holiday homes in this part of Ukraine.

The Kiev market to be overpriced but many local agents and experts believe that prices are going to continue to rise with no indications currently suggesting a crash or even stagnation of prices in the near future. For this reason Kiev could well be a good market to consider for residential investment especially for buying to let or buying off plan in the latest developments for resale upon completion to an awaiting market which favours brand new property stock. But an investor really needs to get a feel for the market on a month by month basis before making a move.
