FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions
Can a foreigner buy a mobile home in Croatia?
Yes. Mobile homes do not require ministerial approval because you are purchasing the structure, not the land. The land is leased from a local owner – this is a fully legal and common practice on the Adriatic coast.
How long does it take to receive the mobile home after payment?
Can I rent out the mobile home myself or do I have to use a property manager?
Can the mobile home be sold in the future?
Yes. You are the 100% owner of the structure and you can sell it at any time. The new owner takes over the land lease agreement (with the landowner’s consent – usually just a formality). The value of the mobile home depends on its technical condition, location, and rental history.
What happens if the lease agreement ends?
Can I use the mobile home for my own purposes?
Is the mobile home insured?
How does electricity and utilities work?
Each mobile home is connected to water from the local water supply network, electricity from the power grid (individual meter), and sewage. Utility costs are around €600 – €750 per year, paid according to actual consumption from the meters. The more guests, the higher the usage – but guests also generate income.
Can I take a loan to purchase a mobile home?
How many mobile homes can I own in one community?
It depends on the availability of plots, but there is no limit. Many investors buy 2 – 3 mobile homes in the same community to diversify their offer (one Standard, one Premium), scale their income, and make management easier. If you have the budget and interest in more homes – contact us and we will discuss the available options.
Are there any hidden costs?
No. We have presented a full calculation of one-time and annual costs. The only additional expenses are accessories (cutlery, dishes, bedding – about €200 – €300 one-time), travel costs (if you want to personally visit the mobile home), insurance (optional, €300 – €500 per year), and possible repairs (on average €200 – €500 per year).
