Buying and Renting a Property in Albania

Having shaken off its isolated communist image, Albania now has much to offer holidaymakers - with pristine sandy beaches at Saranda and Vlora as well as Albania’s capital, Tirana, which is fast emerging as one of Europe’s trendiest cities. A recent 40 million euro facelift for Albania’s main airport is attracting even more overseas visitors here, with the result that Albania has been voted number one in Lonely Planet’s top 10 countries for 2011. Albania’s popularity with visitors from abroad has resulted in an increase of properties available to rent or buy in Albania, with many competitively priced potential holiday homes and investment properties on the market.

Whether you are buying a property in Albania as an investment, or buying a second home, the purchasing process is relatively simple. Transaction costs for purchasing a property in Albania are low with no purchase tax, and the legal fees related to buying an Albanian property should add up to no more than 2,500 Euros. Another plus point when buying a property in Albania is that local municipal taxes are low - as is the newly introduced capital gains tax. However when buying a property in Albania make sure to get your solicitor to carefully check the deeds of the property to ensure they have been officially certified – since the state handover some properties’ deeds have yet to be processed.
