PROCEDURE OF PURCHASING REAL ESTATE IN CROATIA

1). sightseeing

The property is viewed with a German-speaking contact person on site.

You will convince yourself of the property and receive all the information you want about the property.

2). Preliminary contract

To protect buyers and sellers, a preliminary contract is first drawn up and signed by a lawyer. This will be translated into German. The property is now reserved for you.

As a buyer, you now have enough time to calmly clarify everything that is required. After signing the preliminary contract, a down payment of 10% of the purchase price is customary.

3). Purchase contract

The lawyer draws up the purchase contract and the certification is carried out by a notary.



4). Entry in the land register

The lawyer will take care of the land register entry at the court for you. This is followed by a land register block (similar to a notice of conveyance) in your name.
