The real estate market in Bosnia and Herzegovina is growing with each passing year, and the healing process of the country’s economy has seen foreign investment in property rising constantly, both for residential and commercial properties.  Off plan property prices are still relatively low, especially when compared to neighbouring markets like Croatia, and the political stability and market growth shown along with the currency pinned to the Euro, meaning it has guaranteed value and is backed up with hard cash and gold reserves, suggest that now is the right time to capitalise on an investment in the country. There is massive potential in the country, and though it may seem far off to most right now, there is the chance of NATO membership and EU accession should the country make enough progress in the future.

British nationals are free to purchase or develop property in most areas of the country, so long as the areas are not of major significance – for example, near military installations. This isn’t a factor that is encountered very often, however. Though purchasing property in Bosnia and Herzegovina isn’t what could be called easy, it is certainly straightforward as long as reputable operators are dealt with and the unregulated market is avoided. The potential for growth and ever-increasing stability of the country show that this really is a country that could offer fantastic off plan investment opportunities – it isn’t somewhere that most people would think of moving to, but this public image is sure to change as soon as the perception of the country changes and the memory of recent conflict fades. It’s an overlooked gem, and this fact is sure to be discovered by the masses soon enough.
