Developer, permits and documents

Review the developer’s track record, building permit, land ownership and available project documents. Confirm which approvals will be ready before handover.

Clarify costs, taxes and payment terms

Frequently asked questions about buying new-build property in Istria

What additional costs come with buying a new-build property in Croatia?

Depending on the transaction, buyers may also pay notary, land-registration, legal-advice and financing costs. Confirm whether VAT is included in the price and which costs are covered by the seller.

Does VAT (PDV) apply to a new-build purchase?

VAT may be included in the price when a VAT-registered seller makes a first sale; property transfer tax generally does not apply to the same transaction in that case. The tax treatment depends on the seller, property and contract, so obtain advice for the specific purchase.

Can foreign buyers purchase new-build property in Istria?

Many foreign nationals can buy property in Croatia, but requirements depend on citizenship and property type. Check the rules for your situation with a qualified legal adviser before paying a deposit.

What do first occupancy and turnkey mean?

First occupancy means the property is being occupied for the first time. Turnkey describes an agreed level of completion and finish; check the contract to see exactly which work, fittings and appliances are included.

How are payments made for a new-build project?

A contract may set out a deposit followed by instalments linked to construction milestones. Have payment dates, cancellation rights and protections for funds clearly stated in the purchase agreement and reviewed by a lawyer.

Where is new-build property especially popular in Istria?

Listings and projects can be found in Umag, Poreč, Rovinj, Pula, Novigrad and Medulin. Availability and prices change and depend on location, construction stage and specification.

What is the difference between a completed new build and a project under construction?

A completed new build may be ready for handover or occupancy. With a project under construction, completion and handover are still in the future; confirm the stage, delivery date and specification in the contract.
