Why buy from a developer
- Price. At an early stage an apartment is cheaper than in a finished building. Prices usually rise toward completion.
- Installments. Most Odesa developers sell with installment plans, often interest-free for part of the term.
- A new home. Modern layouts, elevators, parking, individual heating and a gated area.

Step 1. Check the developer
- How many buildings they have completed, and whether on time.
- Whether they have unfinished or frozen projects.
- Court cases: search the company name in the court register.
- Reviews from people who already live in their buildings.
Developers and their complexes are listed on Odesa developers.
Step 2. Check the project documents
- Land rights: ownership or a lease designated for residential construction.
- Building permit: verified in the Unified State Electronic System for Construction.
- Design and height: the building must not exceed the permitted number of floors.
- Contract type: how the purchase is formalized (investment agreement, forward contract, construction financing fund certificates). Your protection depends on the scheme.
- Commissioning certificate for a completed building.
A lawyer or your agent checks all of this before the first payment.
Step 3. Choose the construction stage
- Foundation pit. Lowest price, highest risk and the longest wait.
- Frame built. The building stands, lower risk, higher price.
- Completed. Safest, you can start renovation right away, but the price is highest.
Step 4. Installments or full payment
Compare not just the price per square meter but the total with installments. Developers often give a discount for full payment. Details in developer installment plans.
Step 5. Hidden costs
- Registering ownership after completion.
- Utility connections and fees to the homeowners' association.
- Renovation: most apartments are delivered without finishing.
- Parking and storage are sold separately.
