Just bought a property in Albania?
- Here’s what typically needs to be arranged — and how we can help.
Buying a property in Albania is an exciting step. However, the practical setup after purchase can be complex, especially if you are not based locally or are unfamiliar with local procedures.
Below is an overview of what usually needs to be handled after buying a property — and how we support new owners from day one.
What typically needs to be arranged after purchase
After completion, most property owners need to ensure that the following practical matters are properly set up:
-
Transfer of electricity and water to the new owner
-
Setup and ongoing handling of utility accounts and payments
-
Internet setup where available
-
Coordination with building administration or property associations
-
Key handover and access overview
-
An initial property inspection to check condition and status
-
A reliable local point of contact for follow-up and coordination
For many international owners, managing this remotely can be time-consuming and unclear.
