If you have not spent a lot of time in Ukraine, you should rent before even thinking about buying. We asked expats there about the buy vs. rent decision...

"Buying a home in Ukraine can be a great investment, as the country is experiencing a period of economic growth and stability. However, it is important to consider the cost of living in Ukraine, as well as the availability of financing options, before making a decision. Renting a home in Ukraine can be a more affordable option, as it allows you to enjoy the benefits of living in the country without the long-term commitment of buying a home. Additionally, renting can provide more flexibility if you are unsure of how long you will be staying in Ukraine. Ultimately, the decision to buy or rent a home in Ukraine should be based on your individual needs and preferences," remarked another expat who made the move to Ukraine.

"rented through an agent with the help of my partner. Very easy and did not even give first and last month rent , only first. We have 2 bedrooms , furnished nicely, flat screen tv, high speed internet, grocery shopping and parks in immediate vicinity as well as recreational facilities as mentioned above. Cost 550. to 600. US $ per month includes everything, except food of course," explained one expat living in Kharkov, Ukraine.
