1. Verify your eligibility
Before submitting an application, make sure you:
-
Belong to one of the allowed categories;
-
Have an official income;
-
Do not own other real estate, or it doesn’t exceed the limit.
Tip: Even if you’re unsure, apply anyway — the system will automatically verify your eligibility.
2. Submit application through Diia
In the Diia app, select the yeOselya section and complete the form. Provide:
-
Passport details;
-
Tax ID (IPN);
-
Category;
-
Income (automatically pulled from tax registers);
-
Contact information.
Your application is forwarded to partner banks (e.g., Oschadbank, UkrGasBank, Globus, PrivatBank — list is updated).
3. Wait for bank response
The bank reviews your creditworthiness and documents. If all checks out — you receive pre‑approval. This means you can start looking for an apartment.
Processing time: typically 7–30 days, depending on the bank and workload.
4. Find a qualifying apartment
The housing must meet these requirements:
-
Area: up to 52 m² per person + 21 m² per each additional family member;
-
Price: within regional market value;
-
Condition: habitable;
-
Market: primary or secondary — depending on participant category.
Realtor’s tip: Work with an agency familiar with the program’s specifics. It will save time and reduce errors.
5. Apartment appraisal & document check
After choosing a property:
-
Order an independent valuation;
-
Check ownership rights;
-
Prepare documents for the notary.
6. Final approval & signing contracts
The bank conducts final checks on the property and documentation. Once approved, you sign:
-
The loan agreement;
-
The sale‑purchase agreement;
-
The mortgage agreement (property as collateral).
7. Funds transfer & property registration
The bank transfers funds to the seller. The buyer registers ownership in the State Register of Property Rights.
You are now the happy owner of an apartment via yeOselya
