Buying property in Romania, especially here in the heart of Transylvania (Târgu Mureș area), can be one of the best investments you make. Prices are still competitive compared to Western Europe, and the market is growing.
But let’s be honest: for a foreign investor, the Romanian legal system can feel like a labyrinth.
You may have heard horror stories: properties sold to two different people, hidden debts transferring to the new owner, or „handshake deals” that turn into year-long lawsuits.
Here is the reality: the Romanian Notary Public is neutral. Their job is to ensure the transaction is recorded, not to protect your specific interests or investigate the property’s dark history.
That is where we come in.
At Maior Legal, we don’t just review contracts; we act as your shield. Below is the exact Due Diligence blueprint we use to ensure your dream home in Mureș doesn’t become a legal burden.
In Romania, the holy grail of ownership is the Land Registry Extract (Extras de Carte Funciară). But simply looking at the current extract is not enough.
We perform a historical check (going back 20–30 years if necessary) to ensure the chain of ownership is unbroken.
The Risk: In Transylvania, many properties are subject to restitution laws (former nationalized properties).
Our Check: We verify that there are no pending lawsuits (Litigii) or restitution claims that could annul your title years after purchase.
You found a beautiful house in Corunca or Sângeorgiu de Mureș. It has a spacious garage and a new attic. But do those structures actually exist on paper?
The Risk: Many owners build extensions without a building permit. If you buy such a house, you inherit the liability. You could be fined, or worse, forced to demolish the extension at your own cost.
Our Check: We compare the technical documentation (Cadastru) with the reality on the ground and the Urbanism Certificate to ensure everything is 100% legal.
In Romania, debts can sometimes „stick” to the property or cause massive administrative headaches.
The Check: We ensure the seller provides a „Fiscal Certificate” with zero debt. Furthermore, we check for hidden debts with the local Homeowners Association (for apartments) and utility providers, ensuring you don’t wake up without gas or electricity in your first week.
Most purchases start with a pre-contract (Promisiune de Vânzare) and a deposit. This is the most dangerous moment for a buyer.
The Trap: Standard contracts often have weak clauses regarding the return of the deposit if the bank rejects your mortgage or if the seller backs out.
Our Solution: We draft or redraft these contracts to include specific penalty clauses that protect your cash. If the deal fails due to the seller’s fault, we ensure you get double your deposit back (as per Romanian Civil Code).
We understand that you might be in London, Berlin, or New York. You cannot fly to Târgu Mureș for every signature.
We specialize in Remote Representation.
Power of Attorney: We draft a bilingual Power of Attorney (Procură) that you can sign in your home country. This allows us to handle the bureaucracy, sign the papers, and deal with the authorities on your behalf.
Video Due Diligence: We don’t just send you a boring PDF report. We provide a video breakdown of your contract and the property status, explaining the risks in plain English so you can make a decision with total confidence.
Buying a property should be exciting, not stressful. Let us handle the „boring” legal work so you can focus on enjoying your investment.
