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," wrote a member who made the move to Ukraine.

"We moved in with my Ukrainian mother-in-law, into her two-bed apartment. I invested time and money refurbishing the place. I agree to pay all the bills which, for the three of us, averages at 750 uah per month (£20.50). We are thinking about buying a house in one of the surrounding villages, which is a good option if you drive. You can pick up a 3 bed house relatively cheaply, and it's great to have your own "dacha" in the summer near a river of forest," explained one expat living in Kharkov, Ukraine.
