You are buying, developing, leasing, or financing property in Albania — and nothing in real estate forgives an assumption. We verify what the register actually says, negotiate the terms that matter years later, and see the transaction through so that what you paid for is exactly what you own.
Whether the matter is a single lease or a multi-phase development, the questions are the same — who owns it, what burdens it, and what may lawfully be done with it. We answer them with evidence, not assurances, and coordinate the tax treatment of the deal.
What we advise on.
Acquisitions & disposals
We handle the purchase and sale of property, verifying ownership and encumbrances against the cadastral register before you are committed. Confirming title early is the cheapest insurance in a property deal.
Commercial leases
We negotiate landlord and tenant terms — rent, term, repair, and exit — for the long relationship a lease actually is. The clauses that seem minor at signing are usually the ones that matter years later.
Development & construction
We advise on development structures and construction contracts, allocating the risks of delay, cost, and defect. Clear contracts keep a build on track and disputes off site.
Title & cadastral diligence
We check ownership, boundaries, mortgages, and restrictions with the State Cadastre Agency (ASHK) and report what the register actually shows. Nothing is taken on trust that can be verified.
Planning & permitting
We advise on territorial planning and the permits a project requires, and on the risk of proceeding without them. Permission confirmed in advance prevents work stopped midway.
Real-estate finance
We structure and document security and funding tied to property, coordinating with lenders. The financing and the asset are put on a consistent legal footing.
How we work with you.
We treat diligence as the heart of the work, not a formality — verifying title, encumbrances, and permissions against the register and telling you plainly what we find. Where the transaction has tax or filing consequences, our colleagues advise in step.
A senior lawyer leads the matter and coordinates any notaries, surveyors, or specialists it needs, giving you a single, consistent view. You commit to a property knowing exactly what you are getting.
You are acquiring, selling, or leasing commercial property.
You are developing a site and need the permitting and contracts in order.
You are financing a property and must perfect security correctly.
Property rights are governed by the Civil Code and registered under Law No. 111/2018 "On the Cadastre", administered by the State Cadastre Agency (ASHK), where ownership and encumbrances are recorded and searched. Development and construction engage Law No. 107/2014 "On Territorial Planning and Development" and the related permitting regime, and the acquisition of land by foreign persons is subject to specific rules on which we advise.
