Details
Today, we are adopting amendments to the eHouse program that will facilitate the return of people to the de-occupied territories and will also be part of the support for internally displaced persons. In particular, in Chernihiv, Kharkiv, Zaporizhzhia, Sumy and Kherson regions, it will be possible to purchase housing that is more than 10 years old. Such changes expand the number of people who can benefit from the program
Addendum
Taras Melnychuk, the government's representative in the Verkhovna Rada, said that the relevant changes were made to the terms and conditions for providing affordable mortgage lending to Ukrainian citizens by the private joint-stock company Ukrainian Financial Housing Company.
In order to ensure the availability of mortgage lending for internally displaced persons and their first-degree family members, the restrictions on the age and location of housing that can be purchased under the eOselya program have been revised. The law also provides for the possibility for the candidate's employer or an interested party to compensate for part of the down payment on a loan secured by a mortgage. The conditions have been supplemented with the requirement that in order to receive a loan, the candidate and adult members of his/her family must not have valid and/or terminated agreements (repaid loans) concluded in accordance with the procedure for preferential mortgage lending to internally displaced persons at the expense of a grant provided by the KfW
Recall
Over the 2 years of the eHouse program, Ukrainians have been able to purchase more than 13 thousand homes on preferential loans. The total amount of loans issued exceeded UAH 21 billion.
