OWNERSHIP OF A PROPERTY

Now that you own a property in Saranda, here is some useful information on the costs you will experience as a homeowner:

EXPENSES FOR PROPERTY MAINTENANCE FEES

The size and kind of the property affect the maintenance costs (cleaning, repairing, reforming, utility bills, waste collection, and so on). A huge villa with a garden and pool will cost significantly more to maintain than a tiny apartment. Minimum to the maximum for luxurious apartments is from 250-350 euros per year.

PROPERTY OWNERSHIP TAX

The tax rate is 0.065% of the value of the villa/apartment, generally 50-100 euros each year, based on the cadastral value imposed by the town hall.

PERSONAL INCOME TAX 

People who own property in Saranda and rent it out then they will be subjected to an income tax of 15%, which is affected by whether or not the property is rented out. However, you can consult with our property experts who have an extensive experience in the financial field and they would be more than happy to help you reduce your taxes legally in different ways. For example, you may reduce your net income by including all of the rental charges that can be subtracted in any case like repairs and maintenance costs of the property.

CONCLUSION

Before you even consider buying a house in Saranda, you must have everything organized and thoroughly understand the Albanian purchase procedure. This may appear to be confusing, and there is a lot of information to consider during the buying process. This is why having an experienced and trustworthy real estate agent at your side to help you through the process and provide emotional support is critical.
