Buying property in Romania involves legal documentation and due diligence. Key costs include notary fees and VAT on new builds, so plan for these on top of the purchase price.
The process and costs can vary, so enlist a local legal expert to guide you.
Non-EU citizens may have additional requirements, particularly regarding land purchases.
Verify current policies with a qualified Romanian lawyer.
