At Bulgarian Property Company we have the experience and common sense to recommend every client appoint a competent and qualified lawyer, independent of the developer or vendor they are buying from. Whilst we do our best to undertake full due diligence in each and every property we offer our agents and clients, we do recommend that legal checks are carried out prior to signing any contract or entering into a purchase agreement. Please remember you are not buying the property from us directly, and whilst we will remain committed to act in the best of faith towards our clients, at all times, we cannot be held responsible for any contractual issues which may arise between yourselves and the selling party.

We are able to provide the services of our ‘in house’ legal advisor, or a recommended third party lawyer. If you choose either of these, or instead opt to find your own legal representation, we recommend the following steps are undertaken, at least:

Pre signing preliminary contract:

• Land ownership check.
• Right to build check.
• General background check on developer.
• Encumbrance check.
• Preliminary contract proof read and advice.

Completion work:

• Power of Attorney granted to buyers not able to sign in front of notary.
• Notary Deeds check and signature (plus representation for clients attending notary).
• Bulstat application and receipt of documents.
• Tax office application and receipt of documents.
• Cadastre/town planning registration and receipt of documents.
• Forwarding documents.

On top of these, you may also want to consider the following services:

Lawyer escrow account for handling cash transactions. VAT registration. General Power of Attorney to represent you on behalf of any issues relevant to your property.
