is this ghost under a new pseudonym? If we have to put up with ghost coming back, can we have emiz too to compensate. Now he was funny!

emiz is here, as Capio, he;s funnier in private than public (see Capio, a compliment :-) ) But yes, it's the same ghost/loveu2/knedla etc. I know I'll suffer for this, but I'm not saying anything bad, just that it's not worth trying to contradict or differ in opinion, or else you'll get the special treatment! God help your website too!

Got it, thanks Carol, I replied.
Yes, Capio is those, and a handsome boy he is too (another compliment, remember that the next time I'm not gushing praise for the Greed is Good League - aka Premiership!!!).
Even Capio will post the occasional nice post about Croatia, everyone does, but we have to be balanced.

believe me its not the foreigners who are buildign the cheesy apartments - the low quality build is a croat every time in my experience. Stairs which are almost vertical without any handrail or even a side, 10 litre hot water tanks in a 35m2 apartment for a family of four, no attention whatsoever to the exterior. i could show you such apartments and they are all buit and designed by croats. There are much fewer foreign apartment developers but most that i have seen aim for a slightly higher standard because they aim to capture "international buyers" as they call them. Personally I found a big difference in the quality of build between apartments. There seems little in the way of "building regulations" as in the UK and some of the balconies and stairs felt dangerous to me. Then again you certainly get a lot of concrete for your money in Croatia, which I prefer. I wouldn't say Croats are bad builders, in fact I know some good ones. Also there are plenty of bad builders elsewhere. Hey and I'm not even an estate agent. Raining in the UK

Ohh I guess the part about how parts of Spain look like crap hurt.... Brits and their cheesy flats... Truth tends to sting sometime. It does not matter the quality of the flat... It could be made to the highest standard.... there are just to many. To many foreigners in one place.... all concrete. Nothing beautiful to look at accept flat after flat. Maybe some people think that is beauty. As I said I will ignore the ignorant posts by 2 people that don't know what truth is.... even if it smacked them in the face.... ohh I should not have said that.. it will be taken as a threat of violence. Next thing will be that I came to there homes..... So far I have made calls posted phone numbers and met in a car park for a fight....... ohhh and had a million alias's. This is so good it could be made into a T.V show. Yeah, lets makeup stuff and whoever believes it is pretty d**n simple minded. Well Ciao, off to San Francisco this weekend... my son should love the Zoo and cooler weather. I will enjoy the incredible food.

That's not nice Zorro, never wish bad on anyone, you're too funny to drop to that!!!
California, it's not fair to attack Carol or Capio, you'll only wind yourself up more, plus they could never be called ignorant posters, as Capio knows a fair bit about some things and Carol equally so, especially they both know about making a living here, which is gold!
Back onto the topic of foreign property owners, according to the Min. of Justice, the number of foreigners owning property is between 10-20,000 (this includes cpmany ownership of actual foreign physical citizens). Now, comparing this with other regional countries is difficult, but EU reports say that Slovenia has more than 10,000, Germany more than 240,000 registered. Both listed countries are not doing so bad.
On the topic of crappy local builds, successive regimes here have allowed locals build too often what they wished, with poor workmanship and quality material. It's been in place for so long that even with the introduction of foreign investment and knowledge, too often local builds are way too poor.

Now the figure make sense - are we talking about 10K-20K approvals / requests to purchase to/from the foreign individuals issued/received by the MoJ? I think they should know the exact figure!
How can anybody know the list of the companies owning a property (or more), but being established by a foreign individual (not a company or a group of individuals)? You think Croatian government is able to pull out the data?
In normal countries with a "controlled foreign ownership" there is NO difference between foreign company and foreign individual, and bigger you are, more difficult is to obtian a permission to buy. Usually there is a single body processing all requests. Now in Croatia, they do not care about big players – nobody is talking about the profit generated by the companies in the foreign ownership, GDP generated by such companies, market value of such companies, but they care about little man owning a shack?
Do not believe Croatian press, their standards are very low and the game is to entertain and primarily control. No reliable data will be available before EU reporting standard are applied. After all, investing in Croatia is a speculation.
