Buy with confidence
Buying property in Bulgaria is easy and is no more difficult than buying in any other foreign country. Please find below the steps for buying a property in Bulgaria:
Step 1 of 7
Visit our website or our office in Bansko. Our team is fluent in English, Bulgarian and Russian. Find properties that are of interest, make a preliminary enquiry and get honest answers to all your questions. Viewings will be arranged at your convenience.
Step 2 of 7
When you are completely satisfied and sure that you really want to buy the property, place a deposit to take your new home or investment property in Bulgaria off the market. The deposit varies and is usually no more than €3,000. A bespoke Bower Properties reservation and preliminary contract is signed.
Deposit usually up to €3,000
Step 3 of 7
It is the seller’s responsibility to present detailed checks on title documents, building permissions, debts on title, etc. If the seller is not in Bulgaria, this is done by a legal representative.
Step 4 of 7
We advise all buyers to use a Bulgarian solicitor to help you with the legal process. We work closely with two real estate law firms that are well acquainted with the latest changes in Bulgarian and international law and are fluent in Bulgarian, English and Russian.
Step 5 of 7
After approximately 6-8 weeks your lawyer will arrange an appointment with a Notary and you or he or she (if you can’t come and give Power of Attorney) will sign the Notary Deed/Title Deed. At the time of signing, it is the buyer's obligation to pay the notary fees, which equals to approximately 5% of the selling price of the property.
Notary fees about 5%
Step 6 of 7
Transfer the remainder of the funds and get the title deeds transferred to your name.
Step 7 of 7
Become a proud owner of a property in Bulgaria.
