Home
improvement provides a good alternative to purchasing a new house for those who
want to save money when buying houses in Croatia. There are many old properties
in Croatia which are unused or vacant and they are located at ideal places like
the larger coastal cities and close to the sea. Although some of these
properties might not appeal to you at first sight, they are built on very
strong foundations and they provide spectacular views. There are also modern
and luxury apartments, houses and villas for rent in Croatia. This vast
collection of houses in Croatia has changed how people perceive Croatian property market.
Croatian property market
For
years, Croatian house market has not been good due to the Eurozone crisis and
the global financial crisis which hit the tourism-oriented economy of this
country in the recent past. However, despite the fall in house prices the Croatia real estate
industry is improving and the house market is recovering as the economy
improves. In 2015, new dwellings for instance were sold at an average price of
HRK10, 688 (€1,420.60) for every square metre. This price marked an increase of
1.6% from the previous year’s price. In Zagreb, the capital of Croatia, the
average price for a square metre of a new dwelling was HRK11, 797 (€1,568) and
HRK9, 617 (€1,278) in other settlements.

Clean or replace flooring
The
flooring of any home tells its story of wear and tear. You can improve the
overall freshness of your home by having tile floors and carpets cleaned
professionally. However, if the flooring of the home has an expired shelf life,
your best bet might be to replace it. However, professional cleaning and
re-sanded floorboards provide possibilities of painting, resealing or staining
floorboards for an updated and clean look.
Painting
Among
the most inexpensive home improvements that you can do is indulging the
interior walls of your home with a classic, neutral colour. This home
improvement task will create an incredible impression. However, you should
evaluate the door and window frames as well as the skirting boards to find out
whether you can just clean scrub them.
