PROPERTIES FOR SALE IN
CROATIA
Properties for sale in Croatia have increased
in value dramatically, and with Croatia's entry to the EEC are expected to continue
to rise.
The most popular areas for those looking
for foreign buyers of properties for sale in Croatia are Split, Istria, Dubrovnik
and the Islands off the Dalmatian Coast.
When looking for properties for sale in Croatia , unless fluent in Croatian,
a reputable English speaking agent and lawyer will prove invaluable. They can
help you right through the process of buying properties for sale in Croatia,
from viewings to getting the electricity and water transferred to your name.
Mortgages are not available for properties
for sale in Croatia through Croatian banks - you will have to raise the money
in the UK. A remortgage against your main home is the most usual way to do this.
Because of the recent turbulent history of Croatia, with many people displaced
from their homes, it is particularly important to ensure that the deeds of any
properties for sale in Croatia are complete, and that the title is clear. This
will mean that you can be certain there will be no question later abbout your
right of ownership.
For anyone wanting to buy old, rural properties
for sale in Croatia there are again several areas which may appeal. From rich
agricultural plains, to mountain ranges and the beautiful lakes at Plitvice,
prices of inland properties for sale in Croatia are lower than on the coast
- but learning Croatian will be a top priority.
Inland properties for sale in Croatia can be found from around £10000,
but as well as the language problems, local facilities are likely to be very
limited.
The islands off the Dalmatian coast offer
some very attractive properties for sale in Croatia. The sea along this coastline
is a sailor's heaven. But the journey to them is rather convoluted. Plane, taxi,
ferry - and then little or no public transport on the islands themselves.
Truly 'away from it all' !
