PROPERTY SEARCH
Search through our properties for sale and then contact Aquavista to arrange a viewing trip to view the properties of your choice.

We will help you in arranging your flights and will arrange transfers to and from Brnik airport and accommodation. Costs are typically €65 for transfers and €20-€25 per night for hotel accommodation in a good quality hotel in Postojna.

On the viewing trip our partner will show you around the areas of your choice and properties that you desire. When you find your ideal property we will guide you through every step of the purchasing procedure.

1. Our partner will help you negotiate a price with the seller.
2. Once agreed you will need to apply for an EMSO number (a registry number for tax) and apply for a land search (usually taking less than a week).
3. Payment is in € (EUROS) and can be conducted from your UK bank. Aquavista can recommend UK currency transfer agencies.
4. Although a mortgage is not currently available to foreign purchasers of Slovenian property, Aquavista is currently working with a UK International Mortgage Broker and it is expected to have mortgages available by February 2006.
5. A translator will translate all the documents including the contract into English (typically €200).
6. A notary will conduct the property transaction when you will sign the contract and the property will become legally yours.
7. You will need to open a Slovenian bank account in order to pay bills and yearly taxes.
