Prospects for protection and protection of the rights of investors in residential real estate: judicial and extrajudicial means

The main concepts of the mechanism of regulation of guarantees of protection of the rights of investors of residential real estate were considered in the article. The current state of legal regulation of investors' rights is analyzed and it is established that the existing legal definitions create a «blurred» legal field, which is the basis for abuse in this area. The existing opinion in the scientific literature on the existence of general and special legislation in the field of regulation of the rights of investors in residential real estate is supported. It is established that the draft Law of Ukraine «On guaranteeing property rights to real estate to be built in the future» belongs to the special legislation and, subject to its adoption, will be the main source that structures the «blurred» and broad legislative field presented in special legislation only by the Laws of Ukraine «On investment activity» and «On state registration of real rights to immovable property and their encumbrances». The analysis of foreign investment and other features of investment is left out of this scientific article, as the aim was to study the existing and future guarantees of residential real estate investors' rights under the draft Law of Ukraine «On guaranteeing real rights to real estate to be constructed in the future». Some novelties of the bill are analyzed, in particular the form of the transaction concerning the future real estate object, its essential conditions and it is established that the bill strengthens guarantees of the rights of investors of residential real estate, that introduces the obligatory form of such contracts - purchase, sale. The novelties of such an agreement, in particular, will be mandatory information on the legal grounds for the acquisition of ownership by the developer of land ownership; guaranteeing the first sale of the future real estate, guaranteeing the absence of third party rights to the future real estate. Taking into account the provisions of general legislation, in particular, the provisions of the Civil Code of Ukraine on contracts, it is established that the contract is concluded only after the parties agree on all material terms, so consolidating these novelties as essential terms of the contract will prevent double sale of future object real estate.

FINANCIAL SUPPORT AND EFFICIENCY OF IMPLEMENTATION OF GOVERNMENT HOUSING ACCESSIBILITY PROGRAMS IN UKRAINE

The state of financial support of seven state programs of housing affordability, which currently operate in Ukraine, has been studied and analyzed. As a result, the most effective programs in terms of state aid and the average amount of state aid per recipient were identified. The main significant shortcoming in the implementation of state programs for housing affordability is their constant underfunding from the state budget, which hinders the manifestation of a synergistic positive effect. Deficit of budget funds and restrictions or complete refusal to allocate budget allocations to finance state support for housing affordability programs for various categories of the population negatively affect the state of development of the residential real estate market in Ukraine. This constrains both the demand and the supply of housing due to the lack of financial resources to cover the existing investment needs both at the construction stage and during the sale of already built residential real estate. The multiplier effect from the implementation of state programs of housing affordability on the revival of the real estate market by attracting citizens’ own funds to the construction industry is determined. The priority mechanisms for providing housing to Ukrainians are outlined: mortgage loans at 7% per annum with a down payment of 15% of the cost of housing and financial leasing at 5% without down payment, which are aimed primarily at supporting the population of Ukraine and strengthen protection of interest’s citizens. There is a need to improve financial and credit instruments that overcome the problem of lack of financial resources for the real estate market and help to quickly create the necessary residential real estate, taking into account the strategic interests of all participants — individuals (investors), developers, banks and non-bank financial institutions, state and local authorities, as well as local communities. Keywords: financial support, state program, investment projects, financial and credit instruments, mortgage loans, financial leasing, residential real estate market.
