Compensation for damaged housing: who will receive payments and how to prepare documents

Ukrainians can receive compensation for damaged housing if they have registered ownership in the State Register of Property Rights to Real Estate. Tens of thousands of Ukrainian families have lost their homes due to Russian aggression, but not all victims can receive compensation due to the lack of ownership documents in the electronic register. To receive compensation, it is necessary to confirm the registered ownership in the SRPR.

It is important to note that it is necessary to verify ownership rights if it was acquired before 2013. Registration of ownership can be done both online and offline. Online registration is available through the Diia portal, where owners can enter the necessary data to confirm their rights. Offline registration can be carried out through a notary or a Center for Administrative Services (CAS).

Documents for registering ownership

The following documents are required for registering ownership:

• passport
• identification number (TIN)
• title documents
• technical passport
• proof of payment

The service is paid; however, the administrative fee is not charged for owners of 'old' housing. This is important as many victims may face financial difficulties due to the loss of their homes.

Given the situation in Ukraine, it is important to know how to protect oneself from legal risks associated with obtaining compensation. Having all necessary documents and timely registration of ownership rights can significantly ease the process of receiving payments.

Receiving compensation for damaged housing is an important step in recovering from losses caused by war. It can greatly alleviate the financial burden for many families who find themselves in a difficult situation. However, to take advantage of this opportunity, it is necessary to comply with all requirements for property registration and document preparation, which can take time and effort, especially under the current crisis situation in the country.
