Why Xonvido Exists
Buying a new-build apartment is one of the largest financial decisions most people make. Yet many buyers sign contracts without fully understanding what they're agreeing to or what protections exist.
Information Asymmetry in Property Purchases
In any new-build property transaction, the developer holds a significant informational advantage. They know the building regulations, the legal requirements, the typical warranty provisions, and the significance of every document presented for signature.
The buyer, often making their first or second property purchase, may not know what questions to ask, which documents to request, or what their rights are if problems emerge after moving in.
Xonvido exists to reduce this gap. We provide clear, accessible educational content based on Croatian law, so that buyers can approach the process with a clearer understanding of the landscape.
How We Approach Buyer Education
