Properties in Albania

In the countries where we offer property — Albania, Georgia, and Cyprus — foreign investors can own property with no significant restrictions. We'll guide you through the whole process, including local legislation and the necessary paperwork.

No. Foreigners can acquire property in Albania with no significant restrictions — we usually handle the whole process with a notary, and a valid passport is enough. We'll guide you from reservation through signing the purchase contract to registering ownership.

Yes, we arrange financing both abroad and entirely within the Czech Republic — mortgages as well as consumer loans.

Rental income in Albania is taxed at 15% of net income (after deductible costs). As a non-resident, you're only taxed on income sourced from Albania, not on your worldwide income.

Yes, we offer ongoing management and rental services, so you don't have to manage the property remotely yourself.

A 15% capital gains tax applies to the profit (the difference between the purchase and sale price registered with the notary). It's worth keeping careful records of the purchase price and any investment into the property.

Typically 4–8% a year after costs — the lower end mainly reflects seasonal occupancy on the coast, where demand drops outside the summer months. The specific figure depends on location and management type, which we'll discuss for the specific listing.

It depends on the specific property and country — for completed projects it's usually a matter of weeks, for properties under construction it takes longer because of the payment schedule. You'll always get a realistic estimate for the specific listing you're interested in.

Mainly the developer's track record and the status of the building permit — the market is growing fast, and not every project has the same level of documentation and management. We check this for you in advance, before a listing ever makes it into our offer.

The price shown on a listing is final for you as the buyer — regardless of whether the commission is added on top or paid by the developer. This holds in most cases, unless a specific listing states otherwise or only shows a price per m².

Not for the purchase itself. But for regular rental income and reporting it, a local bank account usually comes in handy — we'll help you open one and choose a rental manager.

Most steps (choosing, reserving, and even signing) can be handled remotely through a power of attorney. We do always recommend an in-person viewing, ideally before signing — we're happy to plan one with you.

Czech citizens don't need a visa for a short (tourist) stay in Albania — a valid passport is enough. Requirements can change, though, so always check the current situation before you travel.

We check every project and developer ourselves first — history, documentation, construction status, and references. Only a fraction of what we see on the market makes it into our listings.

A direct flight to Tirana takes about 2 hours, and there's a connection from Vienna too. That makes a property in Albania reachable for a long weekend, not just a full holiday.

We'll help with the sale too — either through our network of investors or the local real estate agencies we work with. We don't sell it for you ourselves, but we'll guide you through the whole process.

Yes, we handle all communication with the developer and local authorities for you — you don't need to speak the local language or even English.
