Specialists of the "

They explained that when, after submitting a notification of destroyed housing and an application for compensation, a person received a positive decision, the procedure on this does not end.

In order to “implement” compensation after the decision is made by the commission and before receiving funds for new construction (or purchase of housing according to the certificate), you need:.

submit an application for the termination of ownership to the state registrar or notary.

provide one of the confirming documents: information about the fact of destruction from the Unified State Electronic System in the Field of Construction (EGSSB), an extract from the register of damaged and destroyed property, an act of commission survey or an act of remote inspection, which states that the object is destroyed (unsuitable for use, has damage to the structures, the risk of a collapse, etc..

If the examination act has an order on the need for an additional technical examination, the destruction data can be used only with the Unified State Examination (through the registrar).

The term for consideration of the application for the termination of ownership is up to 5 business days.

When exactly to terminate ownership.

The legislation provides for the following time frame:.

If compensation is in cash (for new construction), then it is necessary to terminate the right of ownership after the approval of the decision of the commission, but before the payment of funds;

If compensation is in the form of a housing certificate, then after receiving a certificate, but to a notary certificate of a contract for the purchase of new housing.

According to lawyers, difficulties may arise in practice. In particular, in the case of the inheritance of destroyed housing and the relevant right to compensation due to the uncertainty of legal procedures. There are frequent cases when the testers, having received a certificate, sometimes even booked funds, but they did not manage to fulfill the compensation procedure to the end (they did not acquire housing), but they have already ceased the right to own property. In such situations, the heirs will not be able to inherit housing, the ownership of which has been discontinued.

Whereas the issue of the implementation of the certificate, which was formed on the person that died, is currently unresolved.

Given such situations, experts do not advise rushing with the termination of ownership of housing in the process of obtaining compensation.

In the case of receipt of a certificate, it would be appropriate to first book funds in " When the funds are reserved, then directly on the eve of the conclusion of the transaction from the notary on the acquisition of new housing using the housing certificate, the right of ownership can be terminated.

Recall that in March the Cabinet Resolution of March 14, 2025 entered into force. No. 296, which were amended in the procedure for providing compensation for the property damaged as a result of the war.
