Two things which i do think have been said on here before:- 1. The MOJ permission will probably not be required by the middle of 2009. So you can buy and register your ownership straight away from next year onwards 2. The MOJ permission is issued for properly placed applications after around four months these days. If you have been waiting for years, then it means that there is something wrong with your application (probably something missing).

2 seperate lots of friends bought in Croatia one lot got acceptance after 3 years.......totally clean papers. The other lot waited 4 years, again 100% clean papers , so I dont think its fair to say something must be wrong.

I'm told (by MOJ via a translator) that there is a member of staff there who is constantly off sick and because they have their own designated piles of applications, no-one is looking at hers in her absence This wasn't relayed to me with an apology by the way - just a matter of fact statement as though I should accept is part of the Croatian bureacracy!

crogirls post does sort of describe the situation with sick leave attitudes. However i have seen the evidence for myself with the turnaround times. Anything missing at all or not correctly filled in and it gets put to the side to be resolved whenever and like the rest of the world the administrators are not fond of getting things a bit at a time. Full initial applications take 4 months.

Three years ago one of my employees told me about it. It seemed a long way off then and as you know the law can change so I didn't rely on it. But then a lawyer who does a lot of work with the MoJ told me the same thing a couple of weeks ago. I think she said Feb 2009, but I'm not certain and it could have been April (we were talking about a few things). I think the land registries will be inundated when word of this gets out.

would be irrelevant if not for the bit about it being reiterated by a lawyer two weeks ago -see the part of my post that says "but then a lawyer..." I've heard of shooting the bearer of bad news, but for good news too?

In my opinion there are too many unsubstantiated things written on this forum which throws people into further confusion. For example the thread Carol started "no Lisbon treaty = no croatia EU Accession"
Im not being personal but I think some people should do some more research before they make statements on here. And my earlier post regarding 2 friends who waited 3 and 4 years to get MOJ permission with 100% clean papers....whereas this thread basically states that if you wait longer than 4 months you have a problem.

I have to say that our experience is similar to Carol's. Where an application was properly prepared, it took a bit less than 6 months. In other cases where something was forgotten or done in the wrong order, then it took (or still takes!) longer. Although in general we would recommend our client to use independent solicitor to avoid any conflict of interest with the seller, the advantage of in-house solicitor has proven to be a properly prepared application as they had much more experiences in dealing with foreign purchases.

From your experience....are you talking about properties bought 4 years ago?

actually Josip you are being personal and you know it! I can't think why. I dont want an argument I am just saying that lots of things are written on this forum without the due research or, in fact, anything to back up certain statements
