I want to buy a property in Croatia, and I am a German citizen. What shall I do?

Can I buy real estate in Croatia? What is the procedure? We are pleased to point out that the answer to this question is positive. YES!

German citizens can acquire ownership of real estate in the Republic of Croatia under the same conditions as Croatian citizens. So, you are free to choose the ideal property for you, be it in Dalmatia, Istria or continental Croatia. However as it always happens there is that ‘but’. Foreign nationals cannot acquire ownership of real estate that is agricultural land or real estate located in protected nature areas such as nature parks, national parks, etc. This is not so important for us since German citizens are mostly interested in buying houses, flats, building land and cottages both in Dalmatia and beyond. Now that we have determined that you can acquire ownership of real estate in the Republic of Croatia, the next step is the procedure of how to get from the idea to the final result - ownership of real estate.

The first step is simple. Contact us! Present your ideas, wishes, requirements so that we can offer you a property from our offer as successfully as possible, which you will surely be satisfied with because you will get exactly the property you imagined. Our guiding thought is your satisfaction. This is what motivates us to harness our strength as much as possible to offer you exactly what you are looking for.

We advise you to think about what you want, what your ambitions are, and to consider the amount of budget you have. This will surely be of great help to us in our search for the perfect property.

Next up is us on the move. We will offer you properties from our offer that best meet the set conditions, what you want and require. We will allow you to tour the real estate you are interested in, arrange a tour and talk to the owners, obtain all the necessary documentation, inquire about everything that interests you, as well as much more. We are at your disposal regardless of the time of day, if you have any questions or concerns feel free to contact us.

Our offer is regularly updated, so we will also offer you some new properties if you like them more, send us our suggestions and jointly consider possible scenarios around the property that interests you.

Once you find what you are looking for, your ideal property needs to be given a specific offer. The offer is not binding, nor are the negotiations, and can be constantly corrected. When you decide and make a specific offer to buy a property, we will contact the seller or owner of the property and inform him about your offer. It is our job to achieve the best possible price for you by leaving the negotiations with the owner successfully and to the mutual satisfaction. In addition to the price, other conditions of sale should be agreed with the owner, such as eviction deadlines, payment of utilities, utilities, etc. After we agree on everything and communicate, and the seller accepts the offer, we proceed to the purchase contract.

The contract of sale is drawn up by lawyers, all in accordance with the terms agreed by you as the buyer with the seller of the property or the owner. Various variants are possible, so a pre-contract can be concluded that obliges to conclude a main contract, which is a contract for the sale of real estate, or only the main contract, and you can contract the sale with a down payment or without a down payment. All this is conditioned only by your desires. It is up to us to provide lawyers with all the necessary documentation, such as title deed, title deed, bills of lading and all other documents belonging to our selected property. Lawyers will do their part and we will guide you through the whole process. So leave it to us without worries because it is our daily job and we will keep you informed of all the news through the process.

If the price of the property exceeds your budget and you still want to buy it, the bank will very easily grant you a loan. This requires a pre-purchase agreement to allow the appraisers from the bank to assess the value of the property you want to buy and ultimately grant you the required loan amount to successfully purchase your perfect property.

So, at this stage, everything is ready to transfer ownership from the previous owner of the seller to your name, as the buyer. It is important to know that you acquire the right of ownership of real estate by registering in the land register. Registration in the land register is done on the basis of a proposal for registration and on the basis of a sales contract and that part of the process is up to the lawyers, and we will monitor the situation in the land register and inform you about the registration. In addition to the proposal, the lawyers also report real estate transactions to the tax administration and everything else related to that part.

And so, step by step, we successfully reached our goal - buying a property! Buying real estate in Croatia has never been easier and you have become the proud owner of the property of your dreams! We will provide you with all the documentation, title deed and everything else with your name as proof that you are a proud property owner.

Congratulations! And now it's over
