What is considered real estate and the right to build in legal terms?

Real estate

Real estate includes land and buildings that are permanently connected to the ground. In legal terms, real estate includes everything that is permanently attached to the land, such as houses, buildings, apartments and other objects. Ownership of real estate implies the right to use, enjoy and dispose of real estate in accordance with applicable laws.

Right to build

The right to build is a real right that enables the owner of the right to build, use and maintain a building on someone else’s land. This right can be limited in time and after the expiration of the deadline, the right to build ceases, and the constructed facilities can become the property of the owner of the land, depending on the contractual provisions.

Real Estate Regulation and Construction Rights

In Croatia, real estate and the right to build are regulated by a number of laws and regulations, including the Ownership and Other Property Rights Act, the Land Registry Act, the Construction Act, and other relevant legal acts. These laws define the procedures for the purchase and sale of real estate, the rights and obligations of the owner, and the procedures for the registration of building rights and other real rights.

Specifics for Croatia

The specificity of the real estate market in Croatia includes harmonization with European standards, but also specifics arising from local laws and practices. Croatian laws provide for condominium procedures, registration of disputes in the land registry, and strict conditions for acquiring ownership of real estate for foreign citizens.
