Country home sourcing / Kyiv oblast
A listing shows four walls. It does not show the morning commute, the gas connection, the school run, or whether the lane floods in March. We research the village, coordinate viewings, and write it all into one file you can check against dated sources.
Field note 01 / Listing gap
A portal page describes the house. It rarely describes the Tuesday morning drive, the water pressure in February, or whether a child can actually get a place at the village school.
Start with your criteriaDistance in kilometres hides the real trip. We record departure time, road class and the junctions that slow a weekday run, so the drive you test is the drive you will repeat.
Source note: weekday outbound and a return after 18:00, both dated.
Gas, borehole water, septic tanks and backup power all change the monthly cost. The dossier lists connection type, provider and the last recorded consumption figure where the owner will share it.
Source note: provider and tariff confirmed by document, not by the seller's description.
A school nearby is not the same as a place available. We note the catchment, the morning travel time for a child and whether a scheduled bus route serves the street.
Source note: catchment and route checked each season, with the check date shown.
A lane that looks fine in June can be cleared last in January. Notes cover surface type, who is responsible for snow clearance and the steepest gradient before the gate.
Source note: surface and gradient recorded on site; clearance duty taken from the local hromada schedule.
Every point above stays open until a source answers it. Anything still unverified is labelled as unverified in the file, not smoothed over.
Method / field log
Budget band, commute target, land size, utilities you need, and the deal-breakers. We write it back to you as a single page, and you confirm it before any search begins.
Output: signed brief · 1–2 days
Each candidate gets fact rows for peak-hour commute, utility provider and tariff, school access, and road access in winter, with the date each row was checked.
Output: sourced fact rows · open questions listed
Three to five properties, no filler. Every row states what was verified, what was not, and the one question to settle at the viewing.
Output: shortlist dossier · 3–5 properties
We book the viewings and build the itinerary with a named coordinator and the documents to bring, then map cost bands, notary steps and registration. Legal and technical condition checks stay with independent specialists.
Output: itinerary table · cost plan

Field notes / FAQ
Scope, fees, roles and the limits of what a sourcing service can promise.
Send your criteriaOne settlement or district per file: commute to your stated anchor, utilities and heating, school and clinic access, winter road condition, and known risk notes. Every row shows a source and the date it was checked. Anything unverified stays listed as an open question.
We quote in stages, with a fixed fee per stage. Third-party costs such as notary, valuation, survey or legal review are paid separately at cost. Scope and payment terms are confirmed in a signed offer before a stage starts. Details sit on our fees page.
We coordinate research, shortlists, viewings and purchase planning. Title checks go to independent lawyers, and building or land condition goes to technical specialists appointed by you or by us. We do not act as your lawyer or your surveyor.
No. We do not promise a purchase, a specific price, future value or a risk-free outcome. A dossier narrows the field and records what was checked. The decision, the negotiation mandate and the money stay with you.
Research and a first shortlist usually take three to six weeks. Viewings depend on seller availability. We cover Kyiv oblast and neighbouring regions; areas further out are assessed case by case before any fee is quoted.
You receive an itinerary with date, property, coordinating staff member, required documents and status. We confirm access, prepare a question list drawn from the dossier and send written notes after each visit. See how the process runs.
