Analysis of Apartments and Flats in Montenegro
An apartment always involves two levels of risk: the building as a whole and your specific unit (apartment / PD / garage).
We start with an analysis and document in writing where the problem actually lies — at the apartment level, the building level, or in the documentation — and which actions are realistically possible.

- Written conclusion: possible / not possible / under which conditions
- Risk map: separately for the building and for your apartment (PD)
- Action plan: what should be done now and what makes sense to do later — without unnecessary procedures
Typical Apartment Issues
-
In apartment buildings, it is essential to distinguish whether the issue originates at the building level or within your specific unit (PD).
We identify risks and define a clear sequence of actions — without unnecessary procedures. -
Block 1: Building-level issues
- Missing or incomplete construction and design documentation
- Additional floors or significant structural modifications
- Absence of an occupancy permit (use permit)
- Building-wide inconsistencies
- (number of floors, footprint, common areas, legal status)
- Zoning and planning restrictions affecting available scenarios
-
Block 2: Unit-specific issues (PD)
- Layout changes / merging / subdivision not reflected in documents
- Mismatch between actual area and registered apartment / PD data
- Unclear ownership of certain spaces (terraces, storage rooms, corridor or stairway sections)
- Different legal status of parts of the unit (residential / non-residential / auxiliary)
- Risks that arise during a transaction (bank requirements, notary review, buyer due diligence)
What’s included in the apartment analysis
Result — a written document: conclusions, risks, and an action plan tailored to your specific case
- Legal status and documentationWe review which documents are available or missing and identify inconsistencies.
We flag restrictions, stop-factors, and risks that affect the overall scenario. - Building vs. apartment (where the issue originates)We separate risks at the level of:
- the building as a whole, and
- your apartment (PD).
- Apartment and PD status: composition of the unitWe clarify what legally belongs to the apartment:
- area and layout,
- composition of spaces (terrace, storage, etc.),
- potential “grey zones” between the apartment and common areas.
- Facts vs. documents: alterations and discrepanciesWe compare the actual layout and area with the documentation.
We identify alterations and discrepancies that impact registration or a transaction. - Scenarios: what is realistically possible and under which conditionsWe provide a written conclusion in the format: possible / not possible / possible under conditions.
We specify whether legalization of the apartment itself is required, or whether the issue is resolved at the building or documentation level. - What to request / obtain and what to verify (checklist)We prepare a clear checklist:
- which documents are required,
- where to obtain them, and
- for what purpose.
- Not all apartments in problematic buildings require legalization.
The analysis helps select the correct scenario and avoid unnecessary actions.
Apartment workflow stages
Step 1: Input data → task definition
We define the goal: legalization / transaction / risk assessment.
We collect the minimum: address / KO / LN / (if available) PD.
We collect the minimum: address / KO / LN / (if available) PD.
Step 2: Risk separation → building vs. apartment
We identify where the issue originates:
— the building (documentation, status, occupancy permit, additions)
— the apartment (PD).
— the building (documentation, status, occupancy permit, additions)
— the apartment (PD).
Step 3: Data and document analysis → risk map
We compare facts vs. documentation, apartment status, and unit composition.
The result is a clear map of critical vs. acceptable issues.
The result is a clear map of critical vs. acceptable issues.
Step 4: Written conclusion → “possible / not possible / under which conditions”
The result is provided in writing: conclusion + conditions + step-by-step plan.
We clearly state whether the apartment itself requires legalization or if the issue is resolved at the building or documentation level.
We clearly state whether the apartment itself requires legalization or if the issue is resolved at the building or documentation level.
Step 5: Fact verification / technical check (if required)
If confirmation is required (alterations, “grey zones”, disputed areas),
we perform measurements and prepare materials to the required extent, without unnecessary procedures.

Step 6: Further actions according to the selected scenario
We prepare the full set and support the selected path: legalization, corrective steps, preparation for transaction / registration.
