Purchase of Real Estate in Azerbaijan

Each year, an increase of 4-5 per cent is shown in the real estate market of Azerbaijan. Commercial real estate in the central areas of the city is growing 9-10 per cent per year; they show the best growth. The real estate market is becoming more promising for investors and every year more and more foreign investors invest in the real estate market to obtain passive income and have guarantees for the future. Potentially, prices for local investors are not very expensive, and for foreign investors, prices in the Azerbaijani market are quite cheap compared to other countries.

According to the legislation, citizens of foreign states have the right to directly acquire real estate in Azerbaijan in full ownership.

The Decree on Simplification of Issuing Permits of the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan dated February 19, 2019 brought transparency to the real estate market in Azerbaijan. This document has greatly simplified the issuance of documents and extracts from the registry and this increases the investment value in the real estate market. After signing this document, there will be no violations, there will be only official state duties.

The economic reforms carried out in the republic stimulate the inflow of capital investments. Attracting foreign investment to the country is an integral part of the economic strategy. The adopted Investment Activity Act and Protection of Foreign Investment Act of the Republic of Azerbaijan create a favourable economic environment for foreign investment.
