International Law Office D. Vladimirov & Partners – Protecting Your Property Rights in Bulgaria

Legal Security for Every Property Deal

Investment in real estate and construction is one of the strongest pillars of Bulgaria’s economy.

Whether you are purchasing a mountain apartment in Bansko, a coastal villa in Varna, or commercial premises in Sofia, every real estate deal requires precise legal handling.

A single overlooked document, encumbrance, or contractual clause can lead to serious financial loss.

For that reason, working with a qualified Bulgarian real estate lawyer is essential.

Why You Need a Real Estate Lawyer in Bulgaria

Real estate transactions often seem simple but hide complex legal risks. For example:

• The seller may not hold full ownership or may conceal existing mortgages or foreclosures.

• The property might be subject to pending court disputes or inheritance claims.

• Foreign buyers may need company registration to acquire land legally.

• Developers might lack valid building permits or fail to meet approved standards.

• Unclear cadastral data or tax irregularities can delay or invalidate the transfer.

A real estate attorney ensures that each transaction complies with Bulgarian law, safeguarding your rights from the initial negotiation through notarial completion and registration.

Our Step-by-Step Legal Process

1. Consultation and Strategy – Defining your goals: purchase, sale, construction, or inheritance.

2. Legal Due Diligence – Verifying ownership, encumbrances, construction status, and municipal records.

3. Drafting of Contracts and Declarations – Preparing preliminary contracts, notarial deeds, and powers of attorney tailored to your case.

4. Representation Before Authorities – Managing procedures before notaries, banks, and public institutions.

5. Notarial Closing – Ensuring valid transfer of title and compliance with all legal formalities.
