Sodne dražbe

Sodne dražbe is the portal on which Slovenian court-ordered sales are published and, increasingly, bid on. It is operated by Praetor d.o.o. in cooperation with Izstop d.o.o. and links directly to the Slovenian courts at sodisce.si. Every entry is tied to a live court file, carries a publication ID in the form of a date plus case reference, and states the opening price, the sale format and the deadline for registering. The portal also keeps a separate list of cancelled publications, which is worth checking before you travel anywhere.

What you can buy

• Apartments and houses: residential units sold out of enforcement, listed with floor area, cadastral municipality and the ownership share being sold.
• Land: individual parcels with parcel number, cadastral municipality and surface area — often the largest group by count.
• Commercial and other property: parts of buildings and mixed-use units from the same enforcement stream.
• Movable property: vehicles and motorcycles, machinery and general goods, catalogued under premičnina.

How the bidding works

Each lot states its method: klasična prodaja is a traditional sale held in person, spletna prodaja runs online through the portal, and both are normally dražba z zviševanjem cene — an ascending-price auction. To take part you register for the specific lot and pay a security deposit (varščina) before a stated cut-off; the portal counts the remaining days down on the listing, so a lot advertised in August may not close until October. Sales are also split between posamična prodaja (single lot) and prodaja premoženja kot celote (the assets sold as one package), which changes what you are actually bidding for.

What to check before you bid

Read the ownership share. Slovenian enforcement frequently sells a fraction of a property rather than the whole of it — among the lots live when we checked were an apartment in Brežice offered as a 1/2 share from EUR 15,303.63 and a 14,220 m² parcel in Ponikva offered as 7/12 from EUR 10,695 — and buying into co-ownership is a very different proposition from buying a flat. Movable lots are more straightforward: a 2017 KTM 300 EXC with its VIN listed opened at EUR 2,500. Opening prices are court figures, not market valuations, and the property comes with whatever encumbrances the file records, so the underlying court documents matter more than the listing. The portal is in Slovenian only, and Google Maps must be allowed in the cookie banner for lot locations to display.
