nah!! it was an illegal property at time of purchase and that had nothing to do with eu or croatia... illegal is illegal...and you pay a lawyer to watch out for those interests..thats their job... do it or dont take the fees.. the systen of redress is an issue of having on in place and doing what it says on the can... not a body that is strung by a weak legal framework... i do not need to study the details ofthe croatian legal system to buy in croatia... on pays a lawyer (an expect) whose job is to advise and represent the buyers legal interests... asking an investor to become a lawyer is ridiculous.. Yes, I agree. In UK we would expect the lawyer to check all matters concerning the secure title and legality of a property, has it got all the correct papers, does the seller actually own it, is it about to be pulled down to build a new motorway etc. etc. Even if there were a huge number of illegal properties in Croatia it is no excuse for the lawyer to disregard that particular part of the searches.

If you think a person is not doing the job, well, read this: Surgeon leaves a patient during surgery Croatian Times A surgeon in Croatia left a patient in the middle of a surgery saying his working hours have ended. The doctor at the Rebro Hospital in the capital Zagreb explained he was not paid for extra hours so he left the surgery hall, leaving the patient to the next shift doctor, daily newspaper Vecernji List reports. "I started a complicated abdomen surgery at 3 PM and when it was not completed at 8 PM I simply left because the state does not pay my extra hours", the doctor has admitted. The other doctor continued the surgery and completed it in another three hours. When it appeared this was not the only example of surgeons leaving patients in the middle of a surgery, the president of Croatian Doctors' Chamber reacted. "Such a system is not sustainable. Doctors are not car mechanics so that they could just stop their work and leave a patient to someone else to continue working," said Hrvoje Minigo, the president of Croatian Doctors' Chamber. He has asked the Health Ministry to stop such 'absurd' situations

Never heard of legalisation until last Summer when I went on holiday in August so past any deadline. Turns out in Ciovo where I line most buildings have no building permit. However I have been issued with a certificate for my house from the Cro gov to say I own the property and have also paid stamp duty. The Cro lawyer said it was not her duty to check building permit - typical lazy lying Croat How can the Cro gov issue paperwork and raise stamp duty if the property should not exist. Also as a lawyer that is clearly Estoppel in any case and so I should be ok en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Estoppel
It is clealry a bizarre sutuation. Why did the Cro authorities not inform me as they informed me about the stamp duty payable? V worried - do Croatian people have any idea of years of hard work destroyed because of them being clueless?

Ok, no need for people to get their knickers in a twist.
Naturally you can still go through a complete legalization process ... same process as getting a building permit ... everything is done however your house must conform to current property building laws.
I would just wait it out unless legalization is urgent for you .... everyone will have another opportunity to legalize their home ... this came from the mouth of the minister of building at the Omiš forum for real estate agents last year ... the only difference will be that that those that did not put in paperwork as part of the process last year, will get another change but will be given a tighter timeframe for compliance ... that is to hand in their paperwork .... then and only then ... if they miss that deadline, the inspector will come calling and give them a month to hand in legalization paperwork else they will get a degree that their house is to be removed. The other difference will of course be high costs of legalization ... but not too much .... remember most people did not do it not because they did not want to but because they did not have the money to do even the minimum required ... pay the architect etc. You will be given another chance to legalize ... just wait a few years. If you cannot wait, contact an architect and see what you need to do. Simple. There must be an architect on this forum or someone can refer someone to you depending where you have your house who speaks good english and willing to answer your questions.
