How we help you buy
- Criteria-based search – location, budget, floor area, number of rooms, floor, parking; we notify you of new properties before they appear on the property portals.
- Viewings – we arrange several viewings in a single day and point out what is not visible at first glance.
- Document check – ownership, encumbrances (mortgages, annotations), condominium registration (etažiranje), occupancy permit, energy certificate.
- Negotiations – we help agree the price and terms, payment deadlines and handover dates.
- Mortgage – we align the preliminary contract with the bank's deadlines and the mortgage valuation, and, if you wish, connect you with a mortgage advisor.
Costs of buying an apartment
In addition to the purchase price, budget for real estate transfer tax (3% for properties not subject to VAT; for new builds bought from a developer, VAT is generally included in the price), notary fees, land registry (zemljišna knjiga) registration, the agency fee and, if you are taking out a mortgage, valuation and loan processing costs. More details in the article Costs of Buying an Apartment.
What to check before signing the preliminary contract
- Whether the seller is registered as the owner and whether there are any encumbrances or disputes.
- Whether the actual condition (floor area, number of rooms) matches the land registry and cadastre records.
- Whether the building has a reserve fund, planned works, and what its condition is following the earthquake.
- Deposit and deadlines: what happens if the bank does not approve the mortgage.
