Issue of property encumbrances in Ukraine is most important first of all when considering purchase (or other types of acquisition) of the real estate in Ukraine as far as existence of an encumbrance can cause problems at acquisition of the property or later on for acquirer of the same (especially if the acquirer is a foreign corporate entity or a foreign private individual).

So, the basic property encumbrances in Ukraine are:

- lease (rent) contracts or documents with the similar legal meaning establishing third parties rights for the real estate in the issue;

- judicial award or writ, which prohibits alienation of such property by its title owner;

- contractual mortgage;

- tax lien (such liens are possible in the case if owner of the real estate has not paid in full his tax liabilities).
