Land registry before design in Croatia
A project rests on ownership and cadastre. Before concept work you need a readable trail: who owns, what is registered, what is encumbered.
An oral story about ownership is not proof. Registry and cadastre are the starting point.
Why this is not paperwork theatre
Drawings without a clean ownership and cadastre input easily become expensive plans for the wrong plot or programme. Land registry and cadastre are the starting point.
What we ask at the start
A current extract or equivalent. Cadastre data. Clarity on encumbrances and third-party rights. Intent (house, extension, legalisation). Without that we do not open a larger scope.
Common traps
A seller's oral story. Old papers without alignment. Cadastre vs registry mismatch. Inheritance not yet recorded. Fix that before the main project, not mid-way.

What TENET does and does not
We lead the architectural and documentation path within scope. We do not replace a lawyer. We do not guarantee authority outcomes. When legal counsel is needed, we say so.
Link to plot analysis
Plot analysis and ownership checks often travel together. One without the other leaves a gap. See the pre-purchase analysis article and the plot-analysis service.

- Often it is the start. Depending on the case you also need cadastre data, alignment, and any encumbrances. We assess the case, not a slogan.
- Yes. We ask for readable inputs. Most preparation is written. Seat in Pakoštane, studios in Zagreb and Zadar.
