This article analyses the current situation in land relations in Ukraine, when tenants of land plots on which they are located real estate, not selling all property, but only its part. Thus there is a contradiction. On the land, which is leased by a natural or legal person, with buildings or structures, who do not belong to him (the lessee of the land), and the other person or entity.

The interested party wastes a lot of time on resolving this controversial situation with the existing procedures in Ukraine. This problem is not always solved professionally because of the lack of sellers’ and buyers’ knowledge of specific features of land management and geodesy.

agricultural cultivation, equally distributed land
endowments and little movement out of agriculture to join
the non-farm economy. But, as the economy starts to

While scholars agree on the importance

Evidence is mounting that secure
property rights have positive effects for poor people in

Land and real estate reforms have not
been effective at achieving their objectives, in part
because of how they have been designed and implemented. To
be successful, reforms must become comprehensive in design,
argue the authors, although implementation may be phased
over time and take local conditions into account. Reform
must include three elements: 1) Institutional reforms that
better define property rights, reduce information asymmetry,
