Hi, I am a foreign national thinking about buying a property in Croatia. I have read many of the threads.
If I want to buy in my personal name (not via a company entity) do you apply for permission first? I am happy to wait (I think).
How long will it take to process my application?
Can I make the application myself or do I need a lawyer?

Hi naturalism, considering the basic nature of the question asked in this matter, I think you definitely need a lawyer and a good one....

If you are European citizen or your country has a reciprocal arrangement with Croatia then yes you can buy a property in your personal name.
do you apply for permission first
How can you apply for ownership before you have bought a property.
Buy the property and then your lawyer or estate agent applies for all the permissions and for you to be entered into the land registry and at the courts
The time process varies, from signing the contract it should take from 3 till 6 weeks
it is better if your lawyer applies

I agree they are L-Plat questions, but who better to ask than people who have experience.
I will get a lawyer for sure. I have purchased property in a number of countries, and they all have their own issues perculiar to them. I always use a local lawyer.
Can someone recommend a good lawyer in the Split region?
Thanks to everyone who replied. I appreciate the effort.

In Zadar ... transfering a title once a contract is signed takes 2 days !
First contact a real estate agent in Split. Just look up in Google Split Real Estate and go from there.
You might also look up Expats in Split on facebook and ask the expats in Split who best to use.

amatesic..really!!! maybe exaggerating??a wee bit.. zadar i hear is good but surely not that good. anyway split as i understand is like the rest of cro-slow. But i am still astonished by the claim of 2 days.. do you mean finish te submissions or achieve the change of tite by the land court decision??

Yes ... its true ... the last one I did last week took 2 days. Once upon a time it was 2-3 weeks, now its almost immediate. But then, we have a new president of the court ... fresh blood appointed by anti corruption forces and lots of change is happening in Zadar court. Mind you .. it is about b ... dy time. At the beginning of this year .... a change in office took place in the court katastar and for a few weeks there was a backlog ... but last week it took 2 days so they are back to normal.
