There is little doubt that Croatia will become a full member of the EU early in 2010. Its accession will undoubtedly being price rises on Croatia property, according to overseas property portal Property Abroad. Erin Scott, the firm's director of market trends research for the firm said:
"The smart money goes on Croatia gaining full accession to the EU early 2010. Croatia first applied for EU membership in 2003, and its massive support from the EC made investors think it would be a quick process. Investment in the country and in property in the country grew almost exponentially. Croatia's accession however, has been severely delayed by disputes over the Slovenia border. This resulted in investment slowing and price growth being stalled since mid-2008".
"However, if any of the other recently new member states are anything to go by (Estonia, Bulgaria etc) EU accession will cause property price growth to restart in Croatia, and investors will be eager to buy before this new growth spurt begins"
Property Abroad has many off plan and resale properties in Croatia, including, a 2 bedroom resale apartment in Vrsar for just over £100k. The images show a well finished interior in the 47 square meter apartment, which is well worth a look for holiday home buyers or investors.
Equally worth consideration is the renovated house in Starigrad on the island of Hvar for £123,500. The 2 bedroom house is set into lovely grounds, and has an idyllic island location just 20 meters from the beach. The house has been renovated to a highest standard and features some of the best stonework on the island. The island itself was recently voted in the top 20 most beautiful islands by World Travellers magazine.
Property Abroad's off plan apartments in Croatia are available from as little as £68,000.
