Sample Tirana property review
Illustrative example. This is not a real listing, valuation, client file or indication of current prices. The numbers show how a brief distinguishes assumptions from confirmed information.
1. What the buyer needs
One bedroom for regular stays, a working lift, practical access in winter, and a budget that leaves room for repairs. The example listing asks €145,000 for 68 m²; the usable area and what the listing includes haven’t been verified.
2. What to compare
- Example listing
- €145,000 / 68 m² advertised. Floor-area basis unknown.
- Example A
- €141,000 / 65 m² advertised. Check whether parking is separate.
- Example B
- €152,000 / 72 m² advertised. Check finish, lift and condition.
Asking prices aren’t completed sales. Compare only after checking location, condition and how floor area is measured.
3. What to budget for
Keep the asking price, transaction and specialist costs, setup work, recurring building charges and reserve separate. Ask the building administrator for the current dues and any planned works. Get fee and tax figures from the relevant professionals rather than assuming they’re included.
4. What to resolve before a deposit
- Ask your lawyer to confirm title, seller authority, applicable permits and what the deposit terms mean for you.
- Ask for documents showing the area and whether a storage space or parking place is included.
- Confirm recurring charges and consider a qualified inspection if there are condition concerns.
Next decision: compare again once the area and ongoing costs are confirmed. Leave the legal decision and any payment instructions to the appropriate independent professionals.
