Property for Sale in Slovakia
Slovakia is the Czech Republic's less well-known Eastern neighbour, bordering Austria, Hungary, Poland and Ukraine. Once part of a unified Czechoslovakia, landlocked Slovakia has been independent since 1993, a full member of the EU since 2004, and its property market is beginning to appeal to British buyers.
As with many European countries Slovakia has a similar process when it comes to buying a property there. As a new EU member the property market of Slovakia is open to all other citizens of EU. The only restriction Slovakia has imposed is on agricultural and forestry land.
The process of buying is simple. Once you have picked the property you want to purchase and the seller accepted the price, a deposit payment will be required to secure the property. The value of deposit payment can vary and depends on the seller's requirements
