Acting as a qualified property lawyers in Bulgaria, we performing the legal check services for our clients, depending on complexity of every case in the Bulgarian property register.

We check in the Bulgarian property Register the status of the certain property and report to our clients the final results and warnings, if there are any.

This information would allow you to check whether there are any encumbrances upon your property, for which you do not know, for example: a mortgage for a loan, which is already repaid, interdiction, imposed by the tax authorities for unpaid tax obligations, or any other rights of third persons.

Bulgarian land investment no longer requires company !

As a result of the contractual obligations, undertaken by the Bulgarian government in relation to Bulgaria’s membership in the European Union, an important part of the Bulgarian law was recently changed.

From 1 January 2012 citizens of the EU are no longer prohibited to purchase Bulgarian land, which is in regulation.

Until this date they had to set up a Bulgarian company and purchase land through the established legal entity, as according to the old law only Bulgarian individuals and companies had the right to acquire Bulgarian land.

This led to many unfavourable consequences for foreign investors, such as paying additionally to a lawyer to establish a Bulgarian company, appointing an accountant for the relevant services and making other expenses, related to having and maintaining a company.

Preliminary Contract

The first stage in buying a home in Bulgaria is the signing of a preliminary contract. Your lawyer is responsible for ensuring that this is drawn up correctly and you shouldn’t rely on an estate agent to do so.

It’s important not to pay a deposit or sign a preliminary contract prior to performing an in-depth due diligence of the property.

Check that the property has the same dimensions as advertised, if there are any undisclosed encumbrances (i.e pending costs) and that all the necessary permissions and documentation are in place.

While some agents or developers will provide a properly-drawn up contract, some won’t – and unless you’re a Bulgarian-speaking lawyer you won’t be able to tell which is which!

For peace of mind it’s recommended that you have the contract drawn up or at least checked by a Bulgarian property lawyer.

There are a number of types of preliminary contract, depending on whether you’re buying an existing (built) property or a new property off plan (i.e. yet to be built or under construction).

Signing the Notary Act

Signing the notary act (sometimes referred to as the notary deed, purchase contract or final contract, which is equivalent to a title deed) is the final step in taking ownership of your property.

If you’re unable to be present at the signing, you can have your agent or lawyer sign it on your behalf if you’ve given him power of attorney.

You should always sign the notary act in person if you’re buying a brand new or off-plan property, to make sure that all the requirements of the preliminary contract have been met.

The signing of the notary act takes place in front of a notary public, who first checks that all the conditions contained in the preliminary contract have been fulfilled.

It’s normal for all parties concerned to be present when the final contract is read, signed and witnessed by the notary, including the estate agent, developer (for new or off-plan property), your lawyer and your translator.

Either party (buyer or seller) can give a representative power of attorney. In the case of an off-plan purchase, the final contract isn’t signed until the building is complete.

Find independent legal advice for purchase property in Bulgaria

Numerous property owners are now experiencing problems with their property because they did not seek independent legal advice and instead used lawyers and translators which were recommended by the estate agent or developer and they were acting for both parties.

Appoint a qualified lawyer, who is experienced in property conveyance and fully independent of anyone else involved in the transaction, eg the estate agent, vendor or developer.

Choosing a property solicitor?

When it comes to buying or selling a property, one of the most crucial decisions you’ll make is choosing the right to choosing a property solicitor.

A property solicitor plays a vital role in ensuring a smooth and legal transaction, making it essential to select someone experienced, reliable, and trustworthy.

In this comprehensive guide, we will explore the key factors to consider when choosing a property solicitor to meet your needs and protect your interests.

1. Expertise and Experience:

One of the primary factors to consider when choosing a property solicitor is their expertise and experience in property law.

Look for a solicitor who specializes in real estate transactions and has a proven track record of successful cases.

An experienced solicitor will be well-versed in the complexities of property law, ensuring that your transaction proceeds without any hiccups.

2. Reputation and Recommendations:

Research the reputation of potential property solicitors by reading online reviews and testimonials.

Recommendations from friends, family, or colleagues who have had positive experiences with a solicitor can also be invaluable.

A reputable solicitor will have a strong online presence and positive feedback from previous clients, indicating their reliability and professionalism.

3. Transparent Fees and Costs:

Legal fees and costs can vary significantly among different property solicitors.

It’s crucial to choose a solicitor who is transparent about their fees and provides a detailed breakdown of all costs involved.

This transparency ensures that you are aware of the financial implications from the outset and helps you avoid any unpleasant surprises later on.

4. Effective Communication:

Clear and effective communication is key to a successful solicitor-client relationship.

Choose a property solicitor who is responsive, attentive, and readily available to answer your queries.

Good communication ensures that you are informed about the progress of your transaction and can address any concerns promptly, leading to a smoother process overall.

5. Local Knowledge:

If possible, select a property solicitor with local knowledge of the area where the property is located.

Local solicitors are often familiar with the specific regulations, zoning laws, and potential issues that can arise in the area.

This local expertise can be invaluable in navigating any challenges that may arise during the transaction.

6. Availability of Resources:

Consider the resources available to the solicitor, such as a proficient support staff and access to legal databases.

A well-equipped solicitor’s office can handle your case efficiently and effectively, ensuring that all necessary paperwork is processed promptly and accurately.

7. Conflicts of Interest:

Ensure that the solicitor you choose does not have any conflicts of interest that could compromise their ability to represent you impartially.

Discuss this concern openly with the solicitor before making a final decision.

Conclusion: Choosing the right property solicitor is a crucial step in any property transaction.

By considering factors such as expertise, reputation, transparent fees, effective communication, local knowledge, professional accreditations, availability of resources, and conflicts of interest, you can make an informed decision that protects your interests and ensures a successful property transaction.

Take the time to research and choose wisely, and you’ll have the peace of mind knowing that your property transaction is in capable hands.

What is the difference between a solicitor and a conveyancer?

Solicitors are trained in a wide range of legal areas, although they may choose to specialise in a particular field. Conveyancers are not fully trained solicitors but are specifically qualified to handle property transactions. Conveyancers will generally charge less than the legal fees of solicitors, and for straightforward sales their services should be perfectly adequate. However solicitors' greater breadth of knowledge means that they are likely to be better equipped to handle more complex issues that arise, and offer legal advice. All solicitors are required to be members of the Law Society and are regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority, and all conveyancers must be members of and are regulated by the Council for Licensed Conveyancers.

Does it matter if I am buying, selling or both?

When buying a property, it is more vital to have a diligent solicitor or conveyancer who will carry out the necessary checks and look out for potential problems. If you are buying a more unusual property, such as a large country house or farmland, it would be wise to look for a solicitor who specialises in this type of transaction. If you are only concerned with selling a property quickly and smoothly, a basic conveyancing service is likely to be suitable, but you still need someone who will provide fast and efficient responses to the buyer's solicitor. The cheapest conveyancing quote is unlikely to be the best option, so take into account service as well as price.

Who should I ask for recommendations?

Personal experiences of friends and family are always worth taking notice of when finding a conveyancer or conveyancing solicitor, but your estate agent will also probably be able to suggest a firm that they trust and can recommend. The agent may well get a referral fee if they find solicitors for you, but don't let that put you off: remember that it is in the agent's best interest as well as yours for the sale to proceed quickly and smoothly, so they are only likely to recommend an efficient law firm.

What questions should I ask before choosing a conveyancing solicitor?

Find out who will be dealing with your transaction: will it be an individual, a small team, or somebody in a call centre? Cheaper conveyancing firms are often call-centre operations, so you could be dealing with a different person each time you call. If complications arise during the deal, this could lead to frustrations and delays. You should also ask how many other files the person or team will be handling. Some firms will offer different levels of service, from a highly personalised tier to a more basic service where the solicitors are working on many transactions at the same time.

How much will it cost?

The conveyancing fees you pay will depend on a number of factors, including whether you are buying or selling, whether the property is freehold or leasehold, whether there is a mortgage involved, and the level of conveyancing service you want. There may be a sliding scale based on the purchase price of the property. The costs consist of the solicitor's or conveyancer's fees, together with the cost of the various payments (disbursements) that must be paid as part of the transaction. There will be more disbursements if you are buying a property, for example: Search fees, such as local authority, water/drainage and environmental searches Telegraphic transfer (TT) fees, payable for bank transfers of sums, ID checks, to satisfy money laundering regulations Pre-completion searches Land Registry fees Stamp duty land tax is also payable in most cases when buying a property, and some conveyancers may charge for completing the stamp duty return. When selling a property, disbursements will include: TT fees ID checks Official copies of the title register and title plan from the Land Registry

When should I instruct the conveyancer or solicitor?

The earlier the better! Many sellers don’t instruct a conveyancing solicitor until they have a buyer lined up, but to ensure a quick and smooth sale it is a good idea to do it before putting the property on the market. This means that much of the paperwork can be prepared in advance so that it is ready as soon as a potential buyer requires it. Instructing the conveyancer early is especially important for leasehold properties, which have more parties involved (freeholder, managing agent and so on) and more time-consuming red tape.

What to expect on the job

Litigation is often very detail oriented, and a litigation lawyer can sometimes find himself having to file suits against multiple counter-parties for a single case. When working on large-scale lawsuits, a litigation lawyer may often brief external counsel (sometimes even QC – Queen’s Counsel) and also have a team of junior lawyers to help with more remedial litigation tasks such as collecting of evidence, discovery of documents and other matters. Smaller suits are sometimes settled out of court to help the client save some money.

What we offer to the clients ?

Litigation is sometimes a long drawn out process, as there are many legal procedures that need to be followed before a case can be settled or taken to trial and sometimes these decisions go on appeal for re-trial as well. The bureaucracy of court systems and regulations and their corresponding waiting times further extend the litigation process, as all bases need to be covered. Litigation is sometimes a long and complicated procedure, but for a patient and passionate lawyer, the reward of winning a case merits the effort.
