Basic process

The process usually starts with property search, checking the seller and documents, agreeing terms, contract, payment and ownership registration. The cadastral code and property status are key checks. This guide is for general information only and is not legal advice.

Use a qualified professional for purchases, especially if you are foreign, buying in a new building or cannot read the documents confidently.

What to check

Compare area, address, owner, restrictions, building condition and what is actually included: apartment, parking, storage, renovation and furniture. For new buildings, check construction status, utilities and handover terms separately.

Do not send significant payments based only on a listing or chat. Final terms should be clear before payment.
