For sale is a comfortable apartment for renovation, located in the city of Dubrovnik. It is a duplex apartment (situated on the 2nd floor and the attic) with excellent sea and harbor views.
Although the apartment does not have its own parking space, nearby there is a public, secured parking place where it is possible to rent a parking space. The property itself is perfectly connected with the rest of the city, as the city bus station is located near the property.
Since the roof of the property is brand new, and the apartment has high ceilings (3m), by lowering the ceiling it is possible to easily get another comfortable attic apartment with a separate entrance from the street. Each floor has its own terrace with a beautiful view of the sea. One of them is raised above the roof level and offers a panoramic view of Mount Srd over the bay Gruz, while the other, larger in size, offers an excellent view of Gruz bay.
Although requiring complete renovation, real estate is an excellent opportunity for a comfortable family home, also offering an option to redefine space into luxury rooms or apartments with a terrace.

The tax is also 3%, so each property owner pays 3% of the estimated value of the property for the new property when swapping.
The tax liability arises at the time of the conclusion of the contract or other legal transaction that acquires the real estate. The notary is obliged to submit one copy of the document to the Tax Administration within 30 days from the signature on the sale documents. The taxpayer is obliged to pay the determined tax within 15 days from the delivery of the decision on determining the real estate sales tax.

In practice, the down payment is given on the Pre-contract and is usually 10% of the agreed purchase price. In case of fulfillment of the contract, the down payment is calculated in the total amount of the agreed purchase price.
