Hello Kevin, our property investment experience in Transylvania started on a rosy note in the autumn of 2005 and ended in tears around Christmas of 2006. After finding the land of our dreams and buying it without difficulty...we applied for the necessary building permit in order to start the construction of our dream house...only to find out that the land we had bought was classified as "green land" (4kms away from downtown!!!).This was our first ever real estate attempt, we thought we had covered all angles, including inquiring with the relevant authorities about the status of the land before completing the purchase. The answer was positive, the land was "intravillan" and we could build our house after getting the relevant documents...but we know now (at our expense) that a piece of land can be "intravillan" (within the city limits) and yet, be classified "green" (V7), and therefore not constructible. But hey! we still have the pleasure of admiring the fantastic Transylvanian sun set from our land...look at the bright side of things they say!
