Testimonials
Hear what some of our recent clients had to say
Very impressed listed with them 2 weeks ago my property has been marketed on over 100 high-ranking property platforms worldwide and translated into 79 languages. Proof of all marketing sent when requested and I have a viewing booked in next month already.
Samantha Worthington
Esales very recently assisted in the marketing and sale of my overseas property. I can wholeheartedly recommend their professional marketing services as from day one they have been thorough. I must extend an extra arm of gratitude to my agent who went over and above to get things done outside working hours. Without his expert knowledge and guidance to set the right price for the market the process would have been harder. I was very pleased at the speed and efficiency of correspondence or calls at the weekend to tell me I had an offer. There was a few hurdles to get things done often but this was no issue for the reputable notary office they put me in touch with. I felt everything was under control at all times. If you are looking for an efficient and professional service to market to global investors look no further. Everything was extremely transparent.
Muhamed Ashid
I highly rate how professionally this company handled the marketing and exposure of my property, also the fact they are contactable by phone or email at any time for updates and help. They are so much more cost-effective than local agents who can easily fob you off and charge extortionate fees. Esales has more coverage in all markets around the world and after many years of trying with local agents, we decided this was the best route to go with. Delighted to have sold inside 8 weeks of listing and we will be listing 4 other overseas properties we own. Very thorough and transparent from start to finish and we sold over asking price for any cynics out there !

Complete Guide to Selling Real Estate in Serbia
Selling a property in Serbia—whether it is an apartment in Belgrade, a villa in Novi Sad, or land in a rural region—requires strict adherence to a formalized legal process. The Serbian market is highly structured, relying on mandatory notarial oversight, public cadastre registration, and specific tax compliance protocols.
1. The Legal Framework: Notarial Solemnization and Cadastre Registration
Real estate transactions in Serbia are strictly governed by civil law formality. A sale is not legally binding or enforceable until it passes through the formal notarial and registry systems.
Mandatory Notarial Solemnization: You cannot execute a valid property sale via private contract. All purchase agreements must be formalized in written form (often drafted by a lawyer) and then solemnized by a licensed public notary. The notary is legally responsible for verifying the identities of the parties, confirming the true will of the participants, and ensuring the contract complies with Serbian law.
The Cadastre (Katastar): The legal transfer of ownership is only perfected when it is officially entered into the Republic Geodetic Authority (RGZ) property cadastre.
Electronic Filing: Since 2018, notaries are required to electronically submit the notarized sale agreement to the RGZ immediately after certification. This process is the fastest way to update the land registry extract, typically taking 2–5 business days for electronic applications.
2. Taxation: Transfer Duties and Capital Gains
Serbia enforces two primary tax obligations that sellers and buyers must navigate: the Real Estate Transfer Tax and Capital Gains Tax.
[Gross Sale Price] - [Original Acquisition Cost] = Net Taxable Gain
Net Taxable Gain x 15% Capital Gains Tax Rate = Total CGT Owed
Real Estate Transfer Tax (Porez na prenos apsolutnih prava)
The 2.5% Levy: This tax applies to the transfer of ownership for compensation. While the seller is legally liable for this tax, it is extremely common practice to negotiate that the buyer pays it as part of the sale contract. Regardless of who pays, the state maintains the right to pursue the seller if the tax remains unpaid.
Exemptions: You are exempt from this transfer tax if you are selling a “first sale” new construction apartment (where the developer has already paid 20% VAT) or if you are selling your sole residential property that you have inhabited for at least 10 years.
Capital Gains Tax (CGT)
The 15% Rate: If you realize a profit from the sale, you are liable for a 15% capital gains tax.
10-Year Exemption: If you have owned the property for 10 years or more, you are completely exempt from capital gains tax.
Reinvestment Incentive: If you sell your property and invest the proceeds into solving a housing issue for yourself or your family within 90 days (or up to 12 months with conditions), you may be entitled to a refund or exemption on the capital gains tax.
3. Strategy: Transparency and Global Market Reach
Liquidating a property in Serbia requires balancing local procedural rigors with effective marketing strategies.
The Valuation Buffer: Tax authorities evaluate the property based on the contracted price. If they believe your declared price is significantly lower than the market value, they reserve the right to re-assess the tax base. It is essential to ensure your declared price aligns with current market estimates to avoid penalties.
Mandatory Tax Filings: You must file a tax return for the transfer tax within 30 days of the contract’s conclusion. Late filing or payment will result in interest and monetary penalties.
The Global Platform Advantage: Localized Serbian property portals are the standard for domestic buyers, but they often lack visibility among international investors, corporate relocations, and the widespread Serbian diaspora. Listing your asset on a global digital marketing platform is highly recommended for high-value properties. It places your listing directly in front of foreign buyers and cash-rich expats who are often prepared to pay a premium for a secure, transparent, and professionally managed transaction.
