Unique bespoke property search service – with no upfront charges
For most clients coming to view properties in Slovenia from our site we also search the market for other properties on the market at that time that fit their criteria. This bespoke search facility is unique to Think Slovenia and is particularly useful for people looking in sought after areas or with specific needs – including land plots or development opportunities.
Our bespoke property searches not only often reveal properties in Slovenia that you would not otherwise find – as they are only advertised in local Slovenian language media, but it also gives you the peace of mind that you have had access to the widest range of the current properties in Slovenia that fit your criteria.
Viewing programmes to fit around you
The next stage is for us to organise a viewing programme of the most relevant properties in the time you have available in Slovenia, which for most clients consists of 10-15 properties in 2-3 working days.
Hand-holding through the purchase process
If you decide to purchase a property you have seen we will not leave you in the hands of third party agents or vendors, but will be with you right through the buying process – helping you negotiate the best price, liaising with agents / vendors on your behalf, arranging for and advising on drafting and translation of contracts and putting you in touch with other professionals such as lawyers and surveyors as necessary until the keys are in your hands.
Once the purchase is complete we can assist with Land Registry inscriptions of your ownership and possession rights.
Flexible assistance with renovation and development
Through experience of helping more than 20 non-Slovenians renovate / develop properties in Slovenia we have built up relationships with a number of tried and tested suppliers. When assisting with renovation and development in most cases we act on a consultancy basis offering a wide range of useful services including obtaining planning documents, helping to find professionals such as architects and tradesmen and project management in conjunction with the relevant specialists.
Money-saving assistance with fitting and furnishing
Our relationships with some of Slovenia’s best furnishing retailers means that we can offer a free of charge service giving our clients preferential pricing, free delivery and a single point of contact to coordinate their order. We also offer a paid for service where we assist clients arranging for deliveries and installation of fittings and furnishings.
A comprehensive lettings service for the tourist market
We offer a set-up service for clients wishing to rent out their property in Slovenia to the tourist market. This service helps you understand the basic tax implications of renting out as well as the other regulations in Slovenia with regard to tourist rental (including how to equip the property according to regulations) and gets you registered correctly with the authorities in order to operate legally. We can also obtain official stamped guest registers and official accommodation signs which are mandatory requirements for properties rented to tourists.
Once you are set up to rent we can go on to assist with the letting of the property which involves marketing the property in a variety of locations including Think Slovenia Places To Stay, handling the resulting enquiries and bookings and managing a central bookings calendar.
360° property management service
In most of the key tourist areas around Slovenia (including Bled, Bohinj, Kranjska Gora, Bovec and the Adriatic coast), we offer a property management facility covering ongoing management of the property and guest management for tourism.
Ongoing management involves visits to the property at a pre-agreed frequency to air / collect post / checking heating system / water plants / maintain garden / clear snow or other items as agreed with the owners, with maintenance work arranged upon request by the owners or as necessary.
Guest management is a complete service assisting those renting out their property to tourists, including key holding and guest welcome, filling in guest register, registration of guests with the authorities, payment of tourist tax, taking and holding security deposits, cleaning and simple inventory checking.
We advise property owners renting out to tourists to make themselves aware of the regulations regarding tourist rental and to ensure that they set up correctly and subsequently are registering guests and paying taxes in the correct way.
Property Sales
At Think Slovenia we not only use our own website to market properties for sale but will suggest a bespoke approach for each property involving use of Slovenian media and co-marketing with our extensive network of partner agents across Slovenia. |
