Hi ,i purchased an apt in slovenia in 2,005 and it was the worst decision i have ever made when dealing with property.The reason being it took above 5 years to register.I found the lawyer to be corrupt, the agent i used also the same and the builder to be just the same as the other two.I would be very carefull if i was a brit buying in slovenia, because if you use a local agent you will pay a inflated price.It has left me with a claim against the lawyer who i used,also the market has now completley collasped.And finally to consider is 82 per cent of slovene,s own their propertis, so be carefull of the builders who are in it for big financial gain.Kind Regards Kevin.

@Adriaan: Thanks… will try not to let you down

@alcessa: Most welcome…

@camille “the proofreader”: You’re entirely correct. Now, since Iceland is the only island-country memmber of the EEA that is not a member of the EU, I could try to play that card but I’ll have to admit I let a ‘false friend’ fool my typing fingers. Hey, what the spellchecker doesn’t catch, my wonderful readers do THANKS! Corrected… See, the Slovenian word for Iceland is “Islandija”.

Under EEA, where it says Island should it say Iceland? Or something else?

Dr Fil,

As a sampler for your ongoing series, this bodes VERY well.

I’m looking forward to reading the rest, especially about funding a purchase. This might come in very handy….
