What is the process of acquiring a property in Bulgaria? In general, the process of acquiring a property in Bulgaria is the following:

• First of all, you need to find the property
• Then, you can reserve it to take it off the market (optional&recommended)
• After initial checks of title deeds, debts on title, etc., a preliminary contract is signed. At signing the preliminary contract you pay a deposit, which may vary but is usually 10% of the purchase price (optional&recommended)
• Usually one month after the signing of the preliminary contract, is the finalizing of the deal at the notary's office - signing the Notary Act (Contract of Purchase). Then you pay the rest (usually 90%) of the purchase price and receive the title deeds and you become Owner
  This is general information, if you have questions, or need details, please contact us.

Are foreign citizens allowed to own properties in Bulgaria? According to the present Bulgarian legislation, foreign citizens are allowed to own buildings and are not allowed to own land in Bulgaria. Foreigners who shich to acquire land (for example the adjoining land of the apartment/house they wish to buy) do so by establishing a Bulgarian company. It is a fast, routine, legal and non-expensive procedure. By doing so they can acquire land in Bulgaria. Bulgaria is in the course of harmonising these laws with the EU legislation.

Why is it better to have a real estate agency to search a property for you?

• First of all, real estate agencies save time, because of the professionalism of the agents, who know the market and the properties' characteristics
• When our customers decide to buy a property, we do all the necessary documentary checks, including title deed checks, so we decrease the risk of abuses
• The title deed checks (which is necessary for the sale) is a part of the services we offer and it is included in our comission, so you don't have to pay extra fees for it by engaging other professionals (for example lawyers)
• Real estate agents have clear comprehension about the actual status of the market and can select suitable offers for less time than non-professionals

Why it is not necessary to engage more than one agency for your property search? Because the offers at the market are not different for the different agencies and in this way the agencies which you will have engaged will offer you the same offers - which will be a waste of precious time both for the buyer and for the agencies.
