If you are planning to buy or already own real estate in Montenegro, it is important to know when you legally become the owner and why hiring a professional real estate agent makes the process safer and easier.
When do you become the legal owner of property?
Ownership of real estate is acquired only after registration in the Real Estate Cadastre. Signing a purchase agreement and paying the price are not enough – until the registration is completed, you are not the legal owner.
The notary who certifies the sale and purchase agreement is responsible for submitting all necessary documents to the Real Estate Administration for registration.
In simple terms: Only after notarization, payment, and registration in the cadastre – you become the legal owner.
Why is it good to have an agent when buying or selling?
A professional real estate agent provides security, saves time, and reduces legal risks.
✔ Guides you through the entire purchase or sale process
✔ Provides a realistic view of property listings and market conditions
✔ Arranges property viewings and negotiates on your behalf
✔ Checks documentation and warns about potential issues
✔ Refers you to a lawyer, notary, or bank when needed
✔ Handles obligations after the transaction is completed
Having a good agent means more security and less stress when buying or selling property in Montenegro.
Conclusion
Registration in the cadastre is the key step that makes you the legal property owner. With the support of a professional agent, the entire process is safer, faster, and stress-free.
