Real Estate in Lithuania
Last updated on Dec 23, 2023
Summary: An expat looking to buy a home in Lithuania should begin by researching the local real estate market. They should look for listings on websites such as Arvydas.lt, Domoplius.lt, and Ober-Haus.lt. It is also a good idea to contact a local real estate agent who can provide more detailed information about the properties available. Homes in Lithuania typically include amenities such as central heating, air conditioning, and modern appliances. Many homes also have balconies, terraces, and gardens. Foreigners are allowed to purchase property in Lithuania, but there are some restrictions. Non-EU citizens must obtain a residence permit before they can purchase a property. EU citizens are allowed to purchase property without a residence permit.
How do I find a place to live in Lithuania?
We asked expats how they chose their neighborhood and found a place to live. They answered:
"One of the best ways to find a place to live in Lithuania is to use online resources such as websites and real estate agents. Websites such as Realigro, Domoplius, and Aruodas are great for finding apartments, houses, and other types of accommodation. Additionally, real estate agents can be a great resource for finding a place to live in Lithuania, as they can provide more personalized advice and assistance. Additionally, it is also possible to find accommodation through word of mouth, by asking friends and family who may know of available properties," explained one person living in Lithuania.
"Actually my wife at that time chose this flat due to location. Things to watch out for: a seedy neighbourhood, top and bottom floors, brand-new flats (sub-standard fixtures and settling can cause serious damage), and no shade. The sun can get pretty hot here and if you have no balcony overhand or trees to block the summer sun, June/July can get pretty warm on occasion. Insist on a steel door," said one expat in Vilnius.
