Has anyone experieced problems with planning? We are interested in a property which is partially new build and part old. The newm part has no permission. How long does permission take? Any info or experiences would be of interest!

This really depends on the region, etc. Personally, I wouldn't buy anything without the planning permission, unless you are prepared to even try to bribe the planning dept. which can also now be tricky as the government is trying to clamp down on these practices... as well as starting to knock down properties without proper planning…

The property is in Istria, in a little village. Any thoughts on applying for the permission through a Croatian architect, would this be a good move?

I would definitely recommend using a local architect. He will have the necessary local contacts.

Agree with Peter here. Local architect is a good move.

Just a note here: On my recent trip to Croatia I have seen builders everywhere.. people are building fast as the law about planning permissions is about to change - so I heard. My both next door neighbours in Trogir (centre!) are doing up their old stone houses to the bit.. One of them has built one whole floor on the top without any permission, other is just about to do the same.. I have to build (open) a window on my house which was built in 1621 and I am terribly scared to seek permission for this but people are saying, just ask your neighbours whether they mind, and say nothing to anyone else.. everybody else is doing the same
