surprisingly high interest (low prices I guess) but I am only advertising for another agency... they deal with the queries. I don't know much about albania and after two and half years of hard work to get to grips with croatia I am not about to tear it up and move on!b

IMO as many of you will know who reside in HR there is a tremendous amount of misinformation about how to buy property and live in HR - there also seems to be a lot of naivety and contradiction among the members of this board as well - if i took as 'gospel' half of what has been quoted on this board then i would never have bought in HR (although the other half has been useful!). There are for example a number of inconsistencies in this thread alone - e.g. Riba saying you cannot have a kuna account as a foreigner (not in my experience as I have both), getting services before you are the registered owner - again not in my experience - we had phone, electric and voda done about 1 hour after we exchanged contracts. I arranged TV and ADSL also prior to being registered owner - geez, I even bought a car prior to having a temp visa in the country - got it registered the same day i got the temp visa (and i was assured initially on this board that as a foreigner it was impossible to buy a car in HR!)....... My experience is to first get to know HR, then find a reliable and honest Real Estate agent and they can and should take care of all formalities for you (albeit at an added price) - that is what they are paid for.... if you are registering in joint names and there are no incumberences on Hungarians ( there are none for UK folk) buying properties then it will just take time to get both checks on your records done by MOJ prior to permission.. other than that it is quite plain sailing if you have all clean papers when you make the purchase. It is pointless IMO to set up a company unless you have other reasons for doing so........ Thats my tuppence worth....and my experience

I am also grateful, Prkbrk! Sasa, it seems to me that you took self-appointing duty to deffend Cro at any costs on this boards, so now you are grateful to everybody who'll say anything positive about our homeland. It's kind of Sizif's job, don't you think? Sizif's job - not at all. Truth will always prevail, and not what some losers are saying.

Truth will always prevail, and not what some losers are saying. hmmmm.... only the truth is not always positive, is it?. are you sure you want it to prevail? and everyone's perception is a totally personal thing. i mean, the same thing can be seen both positive or negative, depends on who's looking. is the glass half empty or half full? beauty is in the eye of beholder. (or was it the beerholder ...it certainly adds to the beauty )

Owl and Noddy, thanks. Always the truth, any honest criticism is more than welcome.
People are entitled to their opinion, however critical, but please be fair. I cannot stand the posts, which claim that everything is wrong with Croatia.

I don't go back, I lived there for 3 years and have visited for 7 that was enough. Although I will be visiting before xmas and once in the new year. That is to see people though, not the country.
My first time in croatia was xmas 99 to new year 00...great times.
