Is there a risk of losing apartments and houses due to a hacker attack on state registries?
At the same time, restrictions due to the Russian cyberattack on access to the Ministry of Justice's state registries, including the Real Estate Rights Register, do not pose a risk of illegal seizure of property from Ukrainians. As stated by the ministry itself, from a legal standpoint, registration is not merely the entry of a record into the State Register of Real Estate Rights.
"The basis for registration consists of documents issued or certified by a competent authority. This is why property owners should be confident in the integrity of their rights. All actions in the register are automatically recorded: who, when, and what registration action was taken. Therefore, discussions about the risk of illegal property seizure due to limited access to the register are manipulative," the statement reads.
Meanwhile, the Ministry of Justice reminded that due to the largest cyberattack from Russians in recent times, it is currently impossible to obtain data from the register or make changes. The estimated time for restoring the registries is 2 weeks.
As reported by OBOZ.UA, at the same time, the primary real estate market in Ukraine is expected to see significant price increases. According to forecasts, in 2025, depending on various factors, prices for new builds may rise by 15 to 20-25%.
