Complete guide to buying an apartment in Morocco in 2026

Buying an apartment in Morocco starts with a clear budget, a realistic view of the location and careful document checks. Before visiting, include notary fees, taxes, agency fees and a margin for repairs in your total budget.

Set a realistic budget

Compare prices per square metre in the target neighbourhood and assess the property condition, floor level, orientation, building charges and access to transport. A low price can hide future costs or administrative issues.

Check the paperwork

• Ask for the land title or proof of ownership.
• Verify the seller's identity and legal capacity.
• Have the preliminary contract reviewed by a notary.
• Check building charges and recent co-ownership decisions.

Visit at different times of day to assess noise, light and parking. Take notes, compare several options and negotiate from facts, not pressure.
