Dear Sirs, Whilst attempting to create an analytical approach to Croatia's otherwise sometimes opaque property market is laudable, it shouldn't be done at the expense of inaccurate information. As someone who deals day to day with property on the Adriatic coast, from Zadar to Mkarska, and the islands in between, I can categorically say that it is practically impossible to find a property that most people would consider 'livable' for under ?1,600 / m2 and in many cases prices north of ?2,000 are more likely. To suggest a beachfront house of 250m2+ would be available for ?270,000 is frankly ridiculous. Croatia is no longer cheap - it remains good value though in terms of restricted supply, stunning scenery, easy access and good economic prospects. It is also true that pricing is not driven on comparables but by owners perceptions of the market and these can sometimes be very unrealistic. This still leaves many opportunities for good value property in un-discovered areas but it requires reliable local partners to both source these and to help navigate the purchase process.

Thank you Charles. We have now fixed this! Brief explanation: The prices Charles Southgate commented on dated from early 2004. Croatian prices have moved up substantially in the last two years. What is in the table now reflects the more recent date. We now have adopted a yearly price update schedule, which should make this sort of problem rarer.
