Buying property in Šibenik: questions
Is Šibenik a good place to live all year?
Yes. Šibenik is a working city with a hospital, schools, shops and services open all year, which makes it the most practical choice on this coast for people who want to live here permanently.
Can foreigners buy property in Šibenik?
Citizens of EU countries can buy property in Croatia under the same conditions as Croatian citizens. For citizens of other countries it depends on an agreement between Croatia and their country and on approval by the Ministry of Justice. Tomislav will check your case before you make an offer.
What should I check before buying land in Šibenik?
Check that the plot lies inside the building zone of the spatial plan, that the land registry and the cadastre match, who all the owners are, and that the plot has road access and utilities. N24 checks all of this for the land it sells.
