Buying with Think Slovenia

Think Slovenia are fully licensed and insured Slovenian real estate brokers and our aim is to make the process of buying, developing, renting and selling property Slovenia as easy as possible for non-Slovenians, with high levels of personalised service from the planning stage through to search, viewing, negotiation, acquisition, furnishing, renovation, lettings, management and sales.

Our general agency fee to buyer / seller is the same as the vast majority of Slovenian agents at 2% plus VAT. For properties on our site there is no other agency fee payable to any other agent.

Free bespoke property search service

For many clients coming to view properties 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.

There are no upfront charges for bespoke search and fees on purchase are in the vast majority of cases identical to fees for properties listed on our website.

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.

For purchasers of properties not sourced via Think Slovenia, we can offer assistance of this kind through the purchase process on a consultancy basis.

Property Sales

If you are looking to sell a property Slovenia, 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.

A comprehensive lettings service

We offer a set-up service for clients wishing to rent out their property in Slovenia to the tourist market.

We can also obtain official stamped guest registers and official accommodation signs which are mandatory requirements for properties rented to tourists according to Slovenian regulations.

Weadvise 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.

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 our self catering pages handling the resulting enquiries and bookings and managing a central bookings calendar.

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.
