Who Can Buy?
Citizens of EU Member States, the United States, and OECD countries may purchase property in Slovenia without restrictions.
Non-EU nationals are able to acquire property through a registered company or other legally permitted ownership structures. We are happy to advise you on the most suitable and compliant approach.
Finding the Right Property
From alpine landscapes and lakeside villas to coastal residences and elegant city apartments in Ljubljana, Slovenia offers a unique combination of lifestyle and investment opportunity.
We guide our clients through the different regions of the country, providing location orientation and insight to help identify the area best aligned with their lifestyle and long-term objectives. Whether you are seeking a primary residence, holiday home, or investment property, we take time to understand your priorities and preferences.
Through our bespoke Property Acquisition Service, we conduct a comprehensive market search, including both publicly listed and discreet off-market opportunities, ensuring you have access to the full market.
The Buying Process
A typical property transaction in Slovenia takes approximately one to two months depending on whether agricultural land forms part of the purchase, where additional approvals extend the timeframe.
The process involves legal due diligence, negotiation of the purchase terms and preparation of the sales agreement, payment of a customary deposit (typically 10%), payment of associated taxes and notarial certification of contract signature by the owner(s), and final payment.
Once full payment has been made, ownership is formally registered in the Slovenian Land Registry, and the property handover follows shortly thereafter.
Throughout the process, we coordinate with trusted legal professionals, notaries, and authorities to ensure clarity, compliance, and a smooth experience.
Costs & Administrative Support
Buyers should anticipate legal & translation fees, and agency commission, which usually amounts to a total of 3 - 4% of the purchase price.
We also assist international clients with obtaining a Slovenian tax and social number, opening a local bank account if needed, and coordinating required documentation — helping to make the transition as seamless as possible.
