Hi Guys I have some land up in the Lika area, its basically on the side of a mountain slope (yep...from my back garden I can jump on my roof  ). OK, the thing is I have a wooden open area right next that leads on to my garden from the road, so people can walk right in my garden if they want, there is too many ways of access to fence it off...So I am thinking about buying it ! My question is, does anyone know how I can go about doing this? I dont think it is listed for sale by any agencies and I am sure that I must go direct to the local authority but I really aint got a clue how to do that. So, can anyone offer me any help on this ? Thanks in advance |

You'll need to visit www.katastar.hr/dgu/ and find the land on the "ortho" map pages for your zupanije/opcina. It will have a number called 'čestica'. You then plug this number into the posjledovni list to identify the owner. |

Thanks Rib!
Ok...I had to stumble through the website because I understand a little Hrvatski, but this 'business level language' is too much for me! Anyway I saw, on the pregledaj PL/BZP that it is listed as forest and its owned by HR...but on the pregledaj ZKU/BZP its owned 3 people (what does this mean?).
Ok, next question am I able to buy this land?
Thanks in advance

My message seems to have disappeared.... maybe I screwed up.
January is spot on of course. If you PM me the cestica number and the Katastral Opcina in which the land is located, I'll tell you what I can.

Usual story....If you have a company (doo) then the company can buy it, if not then as a non Croatian national there is no chance. Assuming that the owner(s) want to sell in the first place of course. Oh dear, I thought that may be the case, but...I also thought those sort of barriers would have been scrapped since joining the E.U! Can anyone explain to me what exactly is the point of this 'nationalistic' type law? Thanks in advance |

Hi newhere, You have a PM.
Sadly, the fact is, you cannot buy any land not in a building zone. None! If you have a Croatian spouse then there's your answer .... not that I'd recommend it.
I believe the law is to protect the votes gained by politicians who promise the country folk that foreigners will not be allowed to invade their 'heaven'. Assuming the EU continues as-is to 2020, that law (plus many others) will have to be "harmonised" and thus we won't need a d.o.o. to own a bit of dirt. That assumption is looking less predictable as time goes by.

Lika is a bit complicated.
During and after WW2 lot's of ethnic Croatians (1) have been forced to leave the area. Their land was redistributed to politically more adequate owners (2). In the Croatian War of Independence, many of those left the country and others (3) settled there and in some cases became the "legal owners".
All three groups have their claims, so be aware that at some time someone may knock on your door claiming that the land you bought is his inherited property.

Will be interesting to see how those country folk respond to the PM's attempts to find 10,000 hectares for a Middle Eastern buyer... www.total-croatia-news.com/business/3151-investor-from-middle-east-interested-in-slavonian-land |

I get enquiries like this on a monthly basis, things like..." I represent a group of (insert country) investors who are looking for a gazillion hectares of....." Mostly from South Africa. Having spent a lot of time chasing these down only to find it's all BS, I don't bother any more. |

First rule of Cro real estate (am out of the business for ten years now, but am sure it still holds true). Those with less than 150,000 euro to spend deliver more often than not, those over will waste your time (and dreams)

The rule is good, Paul, but the number has moved (down). Its somewhere between 80 and 100k now.
10 years ago, you couldn't get anything habitable for 50k, but now you can.
Its a buyers market. Even the sellers know that now.

Even the sellers know that now. Away from the coast, those numbers are more like 25k-45k. There are buyers but they're all looking for a habitable place in a nice spot for that kind of money. Only the desperate are selling. |
