BUYING IN ALBANIA, IN BRIEF

How buying a home in Albania works.

Read the full buying process
  1. 01

    Choose and view

    Browse the listings, save the homes you like and arrange a viewing with us.

  2. 02

    Check the papers

    Ask for the ownership certificate (hipotekë). A notary or lawyer can check it with ASHK, the State Cadastre Agency, together with any liens and permits.

  3. 03

    Sign before a notary

    In Albania the sale contract is signed before a notary. Take independent legal advice before you commit.

BEFORE YOU VISIT

Preparing for
a property viewing.

A viewing is your chance to check what photos cannot show: the light, the noise, the stairs or lift, and the papers behind the home. Come with a few notes and take your time in each room.

A useful question to bring:
“Which documents come with this property?”

FOUR THINGS TO DO BEFORE A VIEWING
  1. Decide how you will use the homeAll year round, or mainly in summer by the sea? Your answer changes what matters most during the visit.
  2. Bring the measurements that matterNote the size of your favourite furniture, and bring a tape measure to check the fit.
  3. Look at the building, not only the homeCheck the stairwell, the lift if there is one, the floor the home is on and where you would park.
  4. Keep your questions closeWrite down your must-haves, and the documents you would like to see, such as the hipotekë.

Ownership papers, buying from abroad and listing terms.
General guidance to read before you visit.

01

OWNERSHIP PAPERS

How to check property ownership in Albania

Ownership is registered with the State Cadastre Agency (ASHK). That is where every check starts.

Read the summary: How to check property ownership in AlbaniaClose the summary: How to check property ownership in Albania

Ask the seller for the ownership certificate, commonly called the hipotekë. It comes from the State Cadastre Agency (Agjencia Shtetërore e Kadastrës, ASHK) and shows who the registered owner is.

Check the certificate for liens or other burdens on the property, and make sure the person selling is the registered owner.

For an apartment, ask about the building permit or the legal volume (kubaturë e rregullt), and for a new build, the occupancy permit. A notary or an independent lawyer can make these checks before you sign.

Try this: ask to see the hipotekë before you make an offer.

BUYING FROM ABROAD

Buying property in Albania as a foreigner

Foreign buyers can purchase apartments and houses in Albania. Agricultural land is a different matter.

Read the summary: Buying property in Albania as a foreignerClose the summary: Buying property in Albania as a foreigner

Foreigners can buy apartments and houses in Albania. Agricultural land is restricted for foreign buyers, so check the status of any land that comes with a house.

The sale contract is signed before a notary, and the new ownership is then registered with the State Cadastre Agency (ASHK).

Work with a notary or independent lawyer you trust, and ask for translations of any document you cannot read. This is general guidance, not legal advice.

Try this: have a lawyer review the papers before you sign.

LISTING TERMS

How to read an Albanian property listing

A few local terms tell you a lot about a home before you visit.

Read the summary: How to read an Albanian property listingClose the summary: How to read an Albanian property listing

“1+1” means one bedroom plus a living area, and “2+1” means two bedrooms plus a living area. A garsonierë is a studio, usually with the living and kitchen areas combined.

“Me hipotekë” means the property has a registered ownership certificate. “Kubaturë e rregullt” means the building’s volume is legal.

Check whether the area is net or gross, which floor the home is on and whether there is a lift. Our 1+1 in San Pietro, for example, is 74 m² net on the 2nd floor, with no lift.

Try this: ask whether the area quoted is net or gross.

Can foreigners buy property in Albania?

Yes. Foreign buyers can buy apartments and houses in Albania. Agricultural land is restricted for foreigners, so check the status of any land sold with a house. This is general guidance: confirm the details for your situation with a notary or lawyer.

How do I check who owns a property in Albania?

Ownership is registered with the State Cadastre Agency (Agjencia Shtetërore e Kadastrës, ASHK), and the ownership certificate is usually called the hipotekë. Ask to see it, check it for liens, and confirm the building permit or legal volume, plus the occupancy permit for a new build. A notary or lawyer can make these checks for you.

Do I need a notary or a lawyer?

Sale contracts in Albania are signed before a notary, so a notary is part of every purchase. We also recommend an independent lawyer to review the documents for you, especially if you are buying from abroad.
