Questions about this service
Why do I need independent due diligence when there’s already a notary?
The notary in Albania legally certifies the sale contract (notarial form is mandatory under Article 83 of the Albanian Civil Code), but does not represent your interests as buyer. The notary does not comprehensively check the full ownership history, inheritance chain, informal construction (pa leje) or outstanding permits. You — or your independent representative — need to arrange that review separately.
Is the land register in Albania publicly searchable?
No. Albania’s cadastre is maintained by the Agjencia Shtetërore e Kadastrës (ASHK) and — unlike the German land register — is not publicly searchable. Verifying title, encumbrances and inheritance requires targeted requests to ASHK, ideally through a local lawyer or notary. That’s exactly why an independent review before purchase matters: you cannot simply look up ownership status online yourself.
