Apartments for Sale in Topla, Montenegro

Herceg Novi is known for steps, forts and the Bay of Kotor scenery, and the coast here has pebble beaches and a promenade running toward Igalo. Dubrovnik airport in Croatia is close to the border, while Tivat and Podgorica airports are in Montenegro. Summer is busy, winter quiet. Some buildings were built quickly during the boom, so check construction quality, permits and occupancy documents.

Foreigners can generally buy apartments and houses in Montenegro on the same basis as citizens, but agricultural land and certain areas are restricted. Property transfer tax is 3% to 6% of the price, paid by the buyer, plus notary and legal fees. Montenegro uses the euro though it is not an EU member. Check the cadastre and ensure the building has a use permit. See our Montenegro consultation guide, financing page and the Montenegro page.

Request the building's use permit, the cadastre extract (list nepokretnosti) showing the unit as separately registered, and confirmation that utility debts are cleared. In some coastal complexes, the apartment has a contract of sale but not yet individual registration, which is a risk. Check what is included in monthly maintenance charges and who runs the building's management.
