Buying Property in Romania as a Foreigner

Eligibility, due diligence, financing, and notary steps.

Buying Property in Romania as a Foreigner

Foreigners can buy apartments and buildings in Romania, but land ownership rules can depend on citizenship and treaty status. Always use a notary and independent legal review.

Due Diligence

Check land book records, building permits, ownership history, debts, utilities, and association fees before signing.

Financing

Romanian mortgages for foreigners are possible but documentation, residency, income proof, and down payment requirements vary by bank.

Transaction Process

The notary verifies documents and finalizes the sale. Budget for notary fees, taxes, translations, and possible agency fees.
