Surveying work in Budva: what is different here
Budva is a municipality of new builds. More than a quarter of dwellings used as a permanent home (28%) have been built since 2012, and a third of households rent. That is why the most common jobs here are unit subdivision of new buildings, registering separate units and checking a flat before purchase.
Inland, in Brajići, Pobori and Maine, there are more old houses and family land. Work here involves identifying parcels, boundary marking and registering buildings that were never recorded.

Frequently asked questions - Budva
I bought a flat in a new building, but it has no separate unit number. What now?
It means the unit subdivision of the building has not been completed or has not been entered in the cadastre. Ask the developer about the status of the survey report. Until the separate unit is registered, you cannot register the flat in your name.
How can I check whether an extension in Rozino or Bečići is registered?
On eKatastar, look up the building and the number of floors on the property certificate. If a floor or the attic is not registered, you need an as-built survey and a survey report.
I have an old house inland from Budva. Where do I start?
With the property certificate and the cadastral map. Old buildings often need the parcel identified first, and only then registration or legalisation.
