How to Safely Buy Real Estate in Armenia: Legal Support from Arm Legal

Buying property in another country is always a process fraught with risks. Armenia has lenient laws for foreigners, and the process of purchasing residential or commercial real estate is quite transparent. However, to avoid mistakes and financial losses, it’s important to complete the transaction with reliable real estate legal support in Armenia.

What foreign buyers need to know about purchasing property in Armenia

• Foreign citizens are allowed to buy property — no residency or citizenship required. You can purchase an apartment, house, commercial property, or office space.

• The only restriction applies to agricultural land — in all other cases, you have the same rights as Armenian citizens.

• Every transaction must include due diligence on the property, legal status of the seller, and proper registration procedures.

Even if the seller is someone you know, it’s risky to proceed without legal oversight. One incorrect clause in the contract could cost you ownership rights.

What’s included in Arm Legal’s support

At Arm Legal, we provide full-cycle transaction support:

• Property title check — registry analysis, verification of liens, arrests, and encumbrances

• Seller verification — identity, legal authority to sell, marital status, shared ownership, outstanding debts

• Contract drafting — in Armenian, Russian, or English, fully reflecting your interests

• Deal registration — submission of documents to the cadastre and ownership registration

• Tax advisory — for resale or rental of the property

• Payment assistance — help with bank transfers and currency control compliance

You receive not just a contract, but a clean transaction with full legal backing, enforceable in court.
