Buying property in Montenegro as a foreigner: a 2026 guide
From cadastre checks to notary and taxes — the steps, costs and pitfalls of buying in Montenegro.
Foreign nationals can buy an apartment or house in Montenegro with few restrictions; land is sometimes purchased through a company. The first step is always verifying ownership and encumbrances in the cadastre.
The full cost is more than the price: budget for the transfer tax (3%), the notary and a possible agency fee. For off-plan, insist on notarial escrow and staged payments tied to construction milestones.
Our team handles the deal end-to-end: legal checks, banking and money transfer, residency and post-purchase management.
