Documentation for legalising a building in Montenegro
Many buildings in Montenegro were built without a building permit. Such property is hard to sell, mortgage or extend. We handle the technical part of legalisation: an as-built survey and a technical report to current rules.
First we assess whether the building can be legalised under the plan at all — so you don’t pay for documents with no chance of success.
What you get
- Legalisation feasibility check
- As-built drawings
- Technical report
- Structural check (if needed)
- Filing document checklist
What we need from you
- Property title sheet and cadastral plan
- Photos of the building
- Any existing documents

FAQ
Can any building be legalised?

Usually 1–3 weeks after the survey.
Do you visit the site?
