In the classified section on this Website someone is selling a house for only 8,000. Is this possible or this is a scam?

It is 8,000 EURO - about £6000.
I would be very carefull here, it could be one of those unlawfull occupiers..
Not just because he has a Bosnian name but ...it happened to me when I was looking for a property that someone was selling it with forged papers and a real owner was in Serbia.

on the other hand if it's in bad shape, miles from the sea and only as big as a large living room then 8,000 might be OK - after you've added on renovation costs, tax and other purchase costs it would stand you a fair bit more than 8,000

You people are not reading correctly: the vendors says close to Austria in Norhern Croatia. Very far from the cost. Houses are very cheap there!

Yes Anja I did mean Austria!
Angelo will now want to know about the house if it is in Koprivnica.
The area north of Zagreb is great and Varazdin is a lovely old town. Out of all the place in Croatia it would be number 2 on my list of places to live. I am not saying where number 1 is!

Certainly is not Rijeka!  It is on the coast and is not a tourist resort  I try to have a few days holiday each year somewhere where we do not have any clients, but I rarely manage it with sucess! Maybe a Robinson Cottage on Pasman next year or a weeks scuba diving. When I manage to get our website up and running again you will see why most people miss the best parts of Croatia when they are on package holidays. |

I have a place to stay with my in-laws, so I am not looking for a house there, particularly since we bought a 2-bed flat in Zagreb 2 years ago. I am just back from Croatia, and had a good time in both Zagreb and Koprivnica. |
