- use an understood or properly translated contract
- retain traceable evidence of every payment
Due diligence

A property purchase may require cadastral, corporate, planning, development, contract, translation, payment, and registration checks. The exact list depends on whether the property is complete or under development.
This guide is general information, not legal, tax, or immigration advice. Obtain current advice for your transaction.

Legal review
What to verify before paying

Project parameters may be refined during design. Use current documents and independent legal review before entering a transaction.

Property purchase: key answers
Is there one tax rate for every property purchase?
No single answer should be assumed for every transaction. The treatment can differ by seller, property type, sale structure, and law in force.
Can one checklist cover every Montenegro purchase?
No. Completed homes, land, resale apartments, and future units require different supporting documents and risk checks.
When should due diligence take place?
Before a non-refundable reservation, deposit, or substantial payment and again if important facts change before completion.
