Start by contacting our team for a consultation. We’ll define your budget, preferred locations, and property type. Then we arrange viewings and guide you through negotiation, legal checks, and the нотариален акт (notarial deed) transfer process.

If you plan to use a mortgage from a Bulgarian bank, pre-approval is highly recommended. It helps define your price range and makes your offer more credible to sellers.

We conduct thorough due diligence, including verifying ownership, checking for encumbrances (such as mortgages or liens), reviewing cadastral records, and ensuring the property has proper building permits and акт 16 (certificate of use).

Buyers typically pay:

• Notary fees
• Local property transfer tax (usually 2–3%)
• Registry fees
• Legal and agency fees

We provide a detailed cost estimate before you proceed.

Once a property is selected and documents are ready, the transaction can typically be completed within 2–6 weeks. Delays may occur if additional legal checks or financing approvals are required.

Yes, foreigners can buy buildings (apartments, houses). However, non-EU citizens may need to register a Bulgarian company to purchase land. We guide international clients through all legal requirements.

The Buyer declares and warrants that, if the Buyer is a citizen, resident, or legal entity established outside the European Union and the contemplated acquisition of the Property requires the establishment of a Bulgarian company or other legal entity under applicable Bulgarian law, the Buyer shall, within fourteen (14) calendar days from the date on which the Seller receives the first payment from the Buyer, whether such payment constitutes a reservation fee, deposit, partial payment, installment, or the full purchase price, personally appear in Bulgaria or appear through a duly authorized representative acceptable to the Seller.

 

Within the same fourteen (14) calendar-day period, the Buyer shall provide all documents, information, declarations, powers of attorney, identification documents, certifications, and other materials necessary for the incorporation and registration of the required Bulgarian company and for the completion of the contemplated property transfer.

 

Failure by the Buyer to comply with any obligation set forth in this clause shall constitute a material breach of the agreement. Upon such breach, the Seller shall have the right, at the Seller’s sole discretion, to terminate the agreement immediately by written notice to the Buyer.

 

In the event of such termination, all reservation fees and deposits paid by the Buyer shall be retained by the Seller as an agreed contractual penalty and liquidated damages for the Buyer’s non-performance, without prejudice to any additional rights or remedies available to the Seller under Bulgarian law.

 

The Buyer expressly acknowledges and agrees that no full or partial refund of any reservation fee or deposit shall be due following the Buyer’s breach of this clause, unless the parties subsequently execute a separate written agreement expressly providing otherwise.

 

Any amendment, waiver, extension of time, refund arrangement, settlement, or modification of this clause shall be valid only if set forth in a written agreement signed by both parties and notarized in accordance with the requirements of Bulgarian law.

 

Upon termination resulting from the Buyer’s breach of this clause and settlement of all obligations arising therefrom, the transaction shall be deemed discontinued, and neither party shall have any further obligations to proceed with the contemplated transfer, except as otherwise required by mandatory provisions of Bulgarian law.

 

This version is closer to what would typically be defensible under Bulgarian contract practice because it refers to retention of a reservation fee or deposit as a contractual penalty/liquidated damages, rather than attempting to waive all legal rights “under any circumstances,” which courts may scrutinize.
