Property Specialists in Bulgaria

Here at EuroPropertyMap we like to think of ourselves as property specialists for Eastern Europe. There is a lot of confusion amongst the property buying public about the process for buying property in Bulgaria.

Many people are still under the illusion that purchases are not safe in Bulgaria, that the legal system is non-existent and that mafia gangs cast a shadow over daily life.

None of the above are true, and as long as you take proper precautions when buying a property in Bulgaria, such as using a reputable lawyer to serve only your interests - then you will be fine.

It is important, however to use reputable estate agents who have a good track record. For this reason we only work with agents that feel sure are specialists in their field. All the properties we have on our map are uploaded by those expert property agents.

If you want expert legal advice on your property purchase, then we recommend Emilia Tomova at www.bulgarianlegal.com. Emilia is a well respected professional and has an enormous amount of experience in property transactions.

So what should you check for when evaluating a property for purchase? We list the most important below:

• The seller has a clean title to the property in question: occasionally, properties have been offered that still belong partly to the government.
• That there are no remaining debts on the property.
• That the property is structurally sound. The agent will have done some checks for you on this one, however, for your own piece of mind, you might like to get a surveyor to check it out.

Again your lawyer can check these for you or arrange for the appropriate professionals to undertake the appropriate work.
