Frequently asked questions

1Partner LT is a real estate agency and part of the international 1Partner brand. The 1Partner LT name is relatively new in Lithuania, but our experience in the property market goes back decades.

Our history here began in 1993, when “Centro kubas – nekilnojamasis turtas”, one of the longest-standing companies in the Lithuanian property market, started operating. In 2019 it joined forces with the Estonian market leader 1Partner and the Latvian company 1Partner LV, bringing the teams of all three Baltic countries together under a single brand: 1Partner.

Today, together with our partners in Estonia and Latvia, we provide a broad range of property services across all three Baltic countries.

We work across the three Baltic countries. In Lithuania we handle transactions nationwide. Our office is at Lvivo st. 37, Vilnius, in the Lvivo Business Centre.

We value property and businesses. We act as intermediaries in buying, selling and renting real estate. We advise clients who want to invest. We also carry out property market analyses and research.

We have the longest experience in the Lithuanian property valuation market. Brokers, certified valuers and analysts work in one team, so valuation and brokerage come from a single source – quickly, accurately and based on current market data.

We also build IT solutions that make property work more efficient.

We work with private individuals and companies alike. Our services cover a broad range of property, from apartments and houses to offices, warehouses, production premises, land plots and forest – valuation, purchase and sale.

A broker saves you time and helps you avoid mistakes. They assess the market and set a realistic asking price, check the legal status of the property, arrange advertising, find buyers, negotiate and handle the paperwork. They stay with you from the first meeting until the deal is closed.

We rely on market data: we analyse comparable transactions and current supply, and assess the location, the condition of the property and other factors that affect the price. If you need an official valuation report, for a bank for example, that is carried out as a separate property valuation.

It depends on the property. An apartment usually sells within 3 months, a house or commercial premises within 6 months, and land plots take 3 to 9 months. Selling forest normally takes about 3–6 months because permits from the National Land Service are required.

Usually you need documents confirming ownership, the cadastral measurement file or a land plot plan, and a valid identity document. Your broker will give you the exact list and, if needed, will help you put the paperwork in order.

The listing is published on 1partner.lt first. It reaches other portals – Aruodas.lt, Realu.lt, Skelbiu.lt, Alio.lt, Kampas.lt, RealuPro.lt, Centrokubas.lt and the MLS broker system – later. Some exclusive properties are advertised only on our website, so buyers find the newest offers here first.

The commission is agreed individually. The price of the brokerage service depends on the property, its price and any additional terms agreed with the client. The commission is payable only once the transaction is completed.

Call +370 5 200 0922, write to info@1partner.lt or fill in the enquiry form on our website. We will inspect the property and discuss the price and the terms of sale.

Listings are divided into three sections: residential, commercial and land. In each of them you choose whether you want to buy or rent, and narrow the search by location (municipality, city, district, street), price, area, number of rooms, floor, property type, purpose and level of finishing. For houses you can also set the plot size. The price can be given as a total or per square metre for premises, or per are for land plots.

No, there is no free text search on the website. You can look for suitable properties using the filters, or contact one of our brokers – they will select the offers that match your needs.

“Active” means the property is available. “Reserved” means a transaction is already under way. “Sold” or “Rented” means the transaction is closed and the listing is kept as a record.

Every listing shows the contacts of the broker responsible for that property – a phone number and an email address. You can contact the broker directly. The listing link can also be copied, or the page printed.

Listing data comes straight from our internal system and is refreshed every time you open the page, so the website shows current information about available properties and their status.

For now the website has no favourites list and no user account. You can save the link to a listing you like, or contact a broker – they will let you know about properties matching your criteria.

We start by inspecting the property and its documents, discussing tax questions and setting the rent. We prepare the presentation of the property – professional photographs, a description, floor plans and, where useful, drone footage. We look for prospective tenants, check their solvency, and draw up the lease agreement and the other documents required. Our representative coordinates the process until the tenant moves in.

Yes. Before the lease is signed we check the solvency of the tenant and any outstanding debts. This helps reduce the risk for the owner.

Rental can be short or long term. A lease can be concluded for a few days, for a year or for a longer period – its duration depends on what the owner and the tenant agree.

A valuation is most often needed when taking a bank loan or when buying or selling property. It may also be required for rental, gifting, inheritance, insurance or property declaration, when establishing damage, when dividing jointly owned property, or before making an investment decision.

We value real estate, movable property and businesses. Real estate covers apartments, houses, land plots, construction projects, forest, engineering networks, and administrative and commercial premises. We also value vehicles, equipment, machinery, inventory, furniture and other movable property. Business valuation covers companies and parts of companies, shares, securities, brands and intellectual property.

Three main factors determine the timeline: the type of property being valued, the purpose of the valuation and how complex the work is.

A standard apartment valuation is normally completed within 3–5 working days, while more complex properties can take up to 2 weeks. Movable property valuation can take from 3 to 30 days, depending on the property and the scope of the work.

A valuation goes through several stages. First we discuss your needs and the purpose of the valuation. We then collect and analyse the property documents and sign the valuation agreement. After that we inspect the property, calculate its value and prepare the valuation report. Finally we hand the report over to you.

A real estate valuation requires an extract from the Real Property Register database and the cadastral measurement file. If a land use procedure has been established for the plot, its plan is needed as well. Photographs of the property are taken by the valuer during the inspection.

The price is set individually, taking into account the type of property, its complexity and its location. Work begins only once both sides have clearly agreed the price in advance.

No, consultations are free. If you have any questions, contact our specialists.

Not if you need an official valuation. An online calculator cannot account for the condition of the property, its finishing, its surroundings or other factors that matter for the value. Banks and other financial institutions require a report prepared by a qualified valuer. We prepare valuation reports in accordance with the Law on Mandatory Property and Business Valuation and with international and European valuation standards.

The value of real estate is driven by a few main factors: location and surroundings, the condition of the property, and the wider economic situation. A valuation takes into account infrastructure, transport links, landscape, finishing and the quality of materials, as well as market, financing and territorial development conditions.

The 1Partner index is a housing price index showing how apartment prices change across different areas of Vilnius, Kaunas and Klaipeda. It is compiled by tracking the level of housing prices and how it moves in individual city zones, so it shows not only the overall trend in a city but also the changes in its particular parts. The index is updated monthly and helps track the housing market more objectively.

What matters most is not the index value itself but how it changes over the period you select. A rise means the level of housing prices went up, a fall means prices went down. On the home page table each city has an arrow showing how the index changed over the past month. The data history of the 1Partner index is calculated from January 2000.

The 1Partner index is updated once a month. It shows housing price changes for Vilnius, Kaunas, Klaipeda and Lithuania as a whole.

Yes. Click “Show all” to choose the city, the period and a specific area. Districts are grouped into zones in the index.

Vilnius has six zones: the central area (Old Town, Naujamiestis, Uzupis, Zverynas), the residential districts within the centre (Antakalnis, Zirmunai, Baltupiai), the southern area (Naujininkai, Vilkpede, Rasos), the dormitory districts (Lazdynai, Karoliniskes, Virsuliskes, Seskine, Justiniskes, Fabijoniskes, Pasilaiciai), Pilaite, and the northern area (Jeruzale, Bajorai, northern Pasilaiciai). Kaunas is divided into three zones and Klaipeda into four.
