Croatian wife, English husband

[Ken]

I hope you can help. My wife is Croatian and I am English. We have been married for 5 years and live in London. I am about to buy a house in Dalmatia. But am concerned about MAF approval.
I would like to registy the ownership jointly.
If we register the sale in our joint names, would the Ministry approval be easier to obtain, than if it was in my name only.
ie/ would her being Croatian help?

Hi Ken, I'm in Opatija.
If you put the house in her name, you'll have no problems whatsoever, but if you want more detailed info, why don't you contact Peter Ellis in Zagreb, he too has a croatian wife. You can contact him thru his web site www.croatianpropertyservices.com
