Navigating the Russian real estate market as a foreign buyer or seller can be complex—but with the right local partner, it becomes a seamless and rewarding experience. At Nazemla, we specialize in helping international clients buy, sell, and invest in residential and commercial properties across Russia, offering end-to-end advisory services tailored to your goals, language, and legal needs. Whether you’re seeking a luxury apartment in Moscow, a countryside villa near Sochi, or undeveloped land in a high-growth region, our team ensures every transaction is transparent, compliant, and strategically sound.
Why Foreigners Choose Russia for Real Estate Investment
Russia’s real estate market offers compelling advantages for international investors. Major cities like Moscow and St. Petersburg continue to demonstrate long-term property value appreciation, while secondary markets such as Kazan, Yekaterinburg, and Krasnodar are emerging as dynamic hubs with strong infrastructure development and government-backed incentives. Unlike many Western markets, entry prices remain relatively accessible, and rental yields in prime urban districts can be attractive—especially for well-located apartments. Moreover, Russian law permits foreign individuals and companies to own most types of real estate, including residential buildings and commercial spaces, making it a viable destination for portfolio diversification.
Comprehensive Property Buying and Selling Services
Nazemla provides full-cycle support for all types of real estate transactions. Our “Buy & Sell Properties” service is structured around three core categories, each backed by deep local knowledge and personalized attention:
Buying and Selling Land
Whether you’re looking to build a private residence, develop a commercial project, or acquire agricultural land, we guide you through Russia’s zoning regulations, utility access, and land-use restrictions. Not all plots are equal: some require special permits, while others may have limitations based on proximity to borders or protected areas. Our team performs due diligence on cadastral records, soil conditions, and infrastructure connectivity to protect your investment from hidden risks.
Buying and Selling Apartments
From modern high-rise units in Moscow City to historic flats in St. Petersburg’s cultural districts, we help clients find apartments that match their lifestyle or investment criteria. We conduct thorough market analyses, arrange virtual or in-person viewings, negotiate on your behalf, and manage all documentation—from preliminary agreements to final registration in the Unified State Register of Real Estate (EGRN). For sellers, we handle pricing strategy, professional photography, listing promotion, and buyer screening to ensure a swift, profitable sale.
Buying and Selling Country Houses and Villas
Russia’s dacha culture has evolved into a thriving market for year-round country homes. We specialize in sourcing turnkey villas, renovated cottages, and luxury estates with gardens, pools, or waterfront access—particularly in desirable regions like the Moscow suburbs (e.g., Rublyovka, Barvikha), the Sochi Riviera, and the scenic Lake Ladoga area. For sellers, we highlight unique features such as heating systems, security setups, and renovation history to attract qualified buyers.
Legal and Administrative Support for Foreign Clients
One of the greatest challenges for non-residents is navigating Russia’s bureaucratic and legal framework. While foreigners can legally own property, the process involves multiple steps: notarized contracts, tax identification, bank coordination, and EGRN registration. Missteps can lead to delays or even invalid transactions. Nazemla eliminates this risk by partnering with licensed Russian attorneys and certified translators. We prepare all documents in your preferred language, explain every clause, and accompany you through every stage—even if you’re managing the purchase remotely via power of attorney.
