Hi
Has anybody been buying property in Croatia? I would like to hear about your experiences with the agents, quality of property, the legal side of things etc.

Thanks

Sami

You have to buy through a newly formed Croatian compmany in order to obtain ownership quickly, otherwise it takes over a year. If you have a chat with frontiersfs they will be able to give you an idea of what the purchase price is, they offer mortgage there but i use them quite often to pick their brains and they don't seem to mind.

Good luck!

We bought a land plot in Croatia this summer.
We didnt buy from a realestate agency, it was a first hand offer. The price of the land was "normal".
Usualy agencies are re-selling.
Right now ,we are working on papers.... so far - no problems.
-quality of property- This is a diferent story.
You must know, where you want to buy and what you want to buy.
We bought on a island near Split(dalmatian coast) Best is ,if the property is 1/1 owner. Then you need to chek if the land is in a building area( urbanistic plan)...
etc. a lot off things... It is kinna hard if you dont speak Croatian.As a foreigner in Croatia country there are different rules for us.( agents, legal advisors etc, they can overcharge you. Or some of them eawen sell you no good land...)
So .... if you have more questions, if I can help/ advice you , I ll be more than happy.
