Renovation Properties on the Island of Krk – Opportunities That Don’t Last!

Renovation Properties on the Island of Krk – Opportunities That Don’t Last!

Property prices on the island of Krk have been steadily rising in recent years, while the supply of authentic homes, especially old stone houses for renovation, is becoming increasingly limited. That’s why renovation properties are now one of the last affordable and long-term worthwhile investment opportunities on the island.

Whether you’re dreaming of restoring a charming stone house, designing a weekend getaway to your taste, or entering the world of vacation rentals by the sea, renovation properties offer a wide range of possibilities. In addition to character and charm, these types of homes also have a key advantage: a lower purchase price and potentially high value after renovation.

Why Are Renovation Properties a Smart Investment?

• Lower initial investment compared to new builds or fully renovated properties.

• Freedom to renovate according to your preferences and lifestyle.

• Long-term value of authentic homes, especially traditional stone houses.

• Ideal for creating a home, vacation house, or rental property.

• Growing demand for rustic and original homes near the sea.

Are Authentic Stone Houses a Thing of the Past?

You can still find authentic stone houses for renovation on Krk, but they are increasingly rare. Many have already been renovated or repurposed. In the future, the category of “homes for renovation” will increasingly include properties that have already been renovated once, but now require another round of improvement, energy efficiency upgrades, or modernisation.

What Are the Renovation Costs?

• Property size,

• Structural condition (construction, utilities, roof),

• Availability of infrastructure,

• Location and heritage conservation requirements.

Estimated renovation costs:

• Light cosmetic renovation: from €300–500/m²
