How to buy property in Croatia

Property selection In Croatia

STEP 1 Property selection

In Croatia it is rather difficult to obtain a building permit; therefore the main part of the real estate is the secondary market. However, there is an incredibly large choice. In addition to modern apartments and houses, there is an opportunity to purchase renovated apartments in 17th or 18th century houses.

During the first stage the company monitors the market and a selection of property units is made according to the investor’s preferences, regarding terms and conditions and characteristics of property being sought.

The next step involves arranging a visit to Croatia in order to view the properties. This will include an arrival meeting and a property viewing itinerary.

Choosing a way to purchase real estate

There are two options for buying a property for a legal entity or an individual. Accordingly, the stages and costs are different for both cases.

It will be necessary to register a legal entity in the territory of Croatia. Creation of the company takes on average from 2 to 6 weeks.

The power of attorney allows an authorized lawyer to act on behalf of the buyer and in his interests.

Signing the contract of sale and purchasing

Signing the contract of sale and purchasing and payments of obligations under the contract.

(only in case of purchase by a legal entity), payment of obligations is in accordance with the agreement.

Coordination with the Ministry of Justice

After the signing the contract of sale and purchasing and payments of obligations under the contract, the representative lawyer requests approval from the Ministry of Justice of the Republic of Croatia to purchase a real estate for an individual.

The average approval period is 3-4 months. Unfortunately, obtaining this agreement is mandatory.
