Apartments and houses for sale in Grocka

Yes. Citizens of most countries can buy apartments and houses in Serbia. You need a passport and a Serbian tax identification number, which is issued during the transaction. Agricultural land is harder for foreigners to buy; we review such cases individually.

The parties sign a preliminary contract and pay a deposit, then the main contract is certified by a notary. After payment, ownership is registered in the cadastre. We check the documents before the deposit and accompany the deal until registration.

Above all, the cadastre extract: who the owner is and whether there are encumbrances such as a mortgage or a lien. It is also worth checking that the apartment is legalised (uknjižen), that the actual area matches the documents and that any alterations were approved.

Usually the property transfer tax, or VAT if the seller is a developer, plus notary fees and cadastre registration. The tax amount and who pays it depend on the type of transaction, so we calculate the exact figure for each property.

Serbia has a ground for temporary residence linked to property ownership. The requirements and the list of documents change from time to time, so we confirm the current conditions before the deal and help prepare the documents.
