Property in Romania

Romania offers the most affordable entry point in our European country portfolio. Bucharest's expanding economy, Cluj-Napoca's thriving tech scene, and Brașov's Transylvanian charm each present distinct opportunities for UK buyers. The market has seen steady price appreciation in major cities, yet prices per square metre remain a fraction of Western European equivalents — a two-bedroom apartment in central Bucharest can cost less than a studio in a UK commuter town.

Key buying considerations for UK buyers: EU nationals and UK residents with Romanian residency can buy property freely. Non-resident UK buyers need a 'buyer permit' from the local mayor's office — a formality that typically takes 30 days. The buying process involves a preliminary contract with a 10–30% deposit, followed by the final contract authenticated by a notary public (notar public). Additional costs include the notary fee (~1–3% of the property value, scaled), land registry tax, and legal fees. Cash purchases are common, but mortgage financing is available through Romanian banks for foreign buyers.
