≈ +0.8% over the price. State registration is 0.5% for individuals; notary rounds out under 1%. Foreigners may buy apartments and other immovables but not land (a presidential decree regime handles rare exceptions). Settlement runs through notary escrow accounts since the 2018 reforms — use them; the notary is the safety.

Rentals run on rules

The rent side, in three lines

  • Deposits run one to two months.
  • Leases commonly run 12 months, registered at the notary.
  • Notarized leases are enforceable; private contracts are evidence only.
