Frequently asked questions.
Every country has its own specifics, especially when it comes to buying real estate. If you are considering buying any type of property abroad, we have prepared for you a few tips for the questions you are looking for, or will be looking for answers to.
As citizens of a European Union member state, we have certain advantages if we decide to buy a house, apartment, or any other property in another EU country.
However, each country has its own specifics. First, answer the question in which country you would like to buy a property.
In Spain, apartments in condominiums or apartment resorts with swimming pools and full service like a holiday resort dominate. Italy is completely different in this respect, and here the interest in standard houses, flats or apartments prevails not only on the coast, but also in cities or inland.
Taxes and fees must be added to the purchase price in each country where you want to buy a property. In both Italy and Spain, it is between 7-12% of the purchase price. These fees include, for example, property transfer tax or notary services (in both countries, the notary has a verification and registration position). Therefore, contracts are signed exclusively at a notary.
You can buy property in Montenegro without restrictions, currently still at relatively low prices. Fees for buying property are relatively low, ranging from 3-6% of the property value, but they only apply to existing properties, not new buildings. For new buildings, 21% VAT is usually included in the price, but always check with the developer.
The purchase contract must be signed by a notary. It is usually only in the original language, for example in Italian, but it can also be bilingual in Italian and English. If your English or Italian is at such a level that you understand the content of the contract, you do not need to have an interpreter with you. If you do not understand the text in either of these languages completely and clearly, you must decide either for a Power of Attorney to sign the contract for another person, or we will provide you with a court translator from Italian to Slovak, who will be present when the purchase contract is signed.
In both countries, the buyer must obtain a tax registration number before purchasing the property. In Italy, this is the Codice Fiscale and in Spain, it is the NIE Número de Identificación de Extranjero. You will then need a valid passport or ID card, a bank account in the country (not mandatory) and a power of attorney if you cannot attend the signing in person.
The entire process from acceptance of the price by both parties, then signing the reservation contract, preparing the signing of the purchase contract at the notary, to the transcription in the real estate cadastre, takes from 1 month to about 3 months in both countries.
Yes, you can buy property in Mauritius – but only through government-approved investment programs , not by buying any property on the open market. The rules are clear, proven, and designed to attract serious investors, not to restrict them.
