Updated rules of the eHouse programme in 2024

On 4 October 2024, the Government of Ukraine made changes to the eHouse programme. From now on, certain categories of the population are allowed to buy housing up to 10 years old. Let's take a closer look.

Internally displaced persons and their families have the opportunity to purchase apartments built no earlier than 2014 throughout Ukraine. The same option is available for military personnel, law enforcement officers, healthcare professionals, educators, scientists, veterans and their families, but only in five regions: Chernihiv, Sumy, Kharkiv, Zaporizhzhia and Kherson.

In other regions, representatives of the above-mentioned professions and veterans are restricted from purchasing housing that is less than three years old. This rule also applies to all other Ukrainian citizens, regardless of their place of residence.

This approach is intended to stimulate the development of housing stock in the regions affected by military operations, while supporting the construction industry across the country by meeting the demand for new housing.

The new rules of the eHouse programme will come into effect one month after their official publication. However, special conditions for housing purchased for the benefit of internally displaced persons will be in effect from 18 December.

Who can participate in the eHouse programme?

- Citizens of Ukraine over the age of 18 at the time of loan disbursement.

- Not older than 70 years at the time of loan repayment.
