Buying property in Montenegro by Christine

Hi, can a foreigner buy property in Montenegro? If so, is it complicated? What is the process of purchasing a property in Montenegro? Any tips for buying property, such as a check-list of items to verify ? Thanks in advance for ...

@innescapableAs explained in DM, just repeating here, so others can also learn: a notary would hold the funds in escrow if the contract is signed at the Notary's office. It's important to know about the encumbrance on the property. The best thing ... Read More

This type of practice is not unusual in Montenegro. If that amount represents roughly the commission that the agent would normally get from the property seller (c. 5% of the value of the property), then that could be a way for the agent to be paid ... Read More

Air pollution in Montenegro is a barrier to staying here by pbryant

I am a US expat. I survived living in Los Angeles for a decade during some of the worst years of air pollution in the 1970s. The air pollution in Podgorica however may drive me out after living here for three years.According to the WHO, the Balkans ...

Wow! That's a surprise! Here on the coast (Tivat) I've never experienced anything like that. I see on the site you shared that the coastal city of Bar had good air quality. I guess the air coming from the sea helps. Can't you consider living on the ... Read More

You can and you must (if you don't have a green card) insure your car with foreign plates for "third party" insurance. I pay c. 250€/year of an old Audi a6 with French licence plates since about 2010. If you have a younger car that is worth ... Read More

Hi there,To obtain residency through Yacht ownership, you must be able to provide a signed contract of mooring with one of the recognised Montenegrin Marinas. There is not specific definition of a yacht, but I guess a rib would not apply for ... Read More

Buying a car by dgcwell7

I am from Canada and visiting Europe for many months. Is it affordable to buy a decent used car in Montenegro? Does it make sense, rather than renting cars for months? How does one go about insurance?thank you in advance

Carine

I have always heard cars are more expensive in Montenegro than anywhere else in Europe, and many people in Montenegro buy cars in Germany or France in order to pay less... Plus, you cannot have a car registered in your name in Montenegro unless you ... Read More
