Buy and sell with the land register and the cadastre checked
Purchase and sale management for existing properties, plots and agricultural land — with a careful review of the land register and cadastre and full contractual handling through an established network of lawyers.
Check first, sign second
The most expensive mistake when buying property in Croatia is rarely the price. It is assuming that the land register, the cadastre and the fence on the ground all say the same thing. In long-settled areas they often do not.
We reverse the order: the file review first, then price negotiation, then contract. Contractual handling runs through an established network of lawyers — German-speaking, admitted in Croatia.

Six checkpoints before signing
We work through this list for every property — regardless of how straightforward the situation looks at first glance.
| Checkpoint | What matters |
|---|---|
| Land register (zemljišna knjiga) | Ownership, encumbrances, easements, mortgages — and whether the entry matches the actual situation. |
| Cadastre (katastar) | Do parcel boundaries, area and land use match reality? Discrepancies are common and solvable — but before the purchase. |
| Development rights | Spatial and development plans, building zone, setbacks, protected areas, coastal protection strip. |
| Existing buildings | Legalisation status, occupancy permit, deviations between the building file and what stands there. |
| Servicing | Access and rights of way, electricity, water and waste water connections — including what a connection actually costs. |
| Contract & tax | Purchase contract, escrow, real estate transfer tax, registration — handled through our established network of lawyers. |
