Rental business in Kiev, Ukraine
Real estate market in Ukraine is quite transparent and secure. Modern electronic real estate registry (recording the chain of title to real property) allows for safe investments in Ukraine real estate, and visa free entrance for USA, UK and EU citizens boosts the inflow of investors.

Everything is made for your convenience: contemporary interior, modern kitchen, all the appliances and air conditioning in each room. This apartment has been rented for a long term. Quarterly payments are made in advance, the landlord keeps a one month security deposit.

We plan to introduce a popular European concept of catered chalet in Georgia, making the stay of our guests comfortable and hassle-free. They will not have to look for a restaurant or a store, enjoying the privacy of their own chalet and the comforts of a five star hotel: gourmet cooking according to personal dietary requirements, daily cleaning and driver’s services. These additional high-quality services will be a competitive advantage of the property and will make the property owners desired partners for corporate clients and travel agencies.
