3 things that make a transaction more expensive

  1. Deposit before the check. If an encumbrance or a problem with heirs comes up after the deposit, getting the money back is difficult. The check is free – do it first.
  2. Running around authorities from abroad. One forgotten certificate can cost you another flight to Bulgaria. That is why we take over the errands at the municipality and the cadastre.
  3. Unresolved cadastre data. A mismatch between the documents and the cadastral scheme stops the sale at the notary. It is cheaper to fix it in advance, not on the day of the transaction.

Questions and answers

 

 

 

I found a property myself. Can you check it?

Yes. The free express check applies to any property: an extract from the Property Register, our analysis of the ownership chain and encumbrances, and written advice on what to ask the seller for. We do the first check within 1 working day.

What do I pay on top of the commission?

State fees, local tax and the services of partners you choose yourself. All fees are paid against a receipt, without mark-up. Details are in the table above.

How does the free valuation differ from the official one?

The free valuation is our market analysis for the right selling price. The official valuation is a report by a licensed appraiser, used for a bank, court or tax authorities. It is paid separately.

I am not in Bulgaria. Can everything be done remotely?

Yes. Live video viewing, document checks, and signing – in person or through a notarised power of attorney. When you come for the transaction, the airport transfer is free.

Do you work only in Varna?

No, along the entire Bulgarian Black Sea coast: city, suburban, rural and resort properties.
