In gewone taal

Property in Albania has become much more expensive in Tirana and on the coast over the last decade. A lot of building is going on. Who legally owns what is sometimes complicated because of what happened after communism ended.

Eenvoudige uitleg

Property in Albania has become much more expensive in Tirana and on the coast over the last decade. A lot of building is going on. Who legally owns what is sometimes complicated because of what happened after communism ended.

Two markets

Tirana is a domestic market driven by urbanisation, diaspora purchases and a large construction pipeline. The coast is a holiday and investment market, concentrated in Sarandë, Ksamil, Vlorë, Durrës and Lalzit Bay, and heavily dependent on tourism demand and off-plan sales.

The title problem

Between 1945 and 1991 private property was abolished. After 1991 the state restituted and privatised on a very large scale, in parallel with mass internal migration and a great deal of unpermitted construction that was later legalised. The result is a register that is still being reconciled.

For a buyer this is not an abstraction. Overlapping claims, unregistered inheritances and buildings whose legalisation is incomplete are ordinary findings in a title search.

Scrutiny of the sector

Construction and real estate in Albania have been repeatedly identified by MONEYVAL, the European Commission and domestic institutions as sectors carrying money-laundering risk. This is a matter of public record and it is one reason due diligence on a counterparty matters as much as due diligence on a title.
