Purchasing property in Bulgaria is a significant investment - often made under pressure from deadlines, deposits, and expectations. Many buyers mistakenly believe that having a notary present is sufficient protection. In reality, a notary certifies the transaction; they do not protect the buyer's interests. We do.
A legal property review aims to establish whether a property can be acquired without legal or financial risk. It includes:
Signing a preliminary contract without legal advice is one of the most common and most costly mistakes. Such contracts often contain clauses placing the buyer at a disadvantage: loss of deposit for minor breach, unclear or one-sided deadlines, no real protection if the seller defaults.
Foreign buyers face additional considerations:
The notary does not conduct full legal due diligence in the buyer's interest; does not analyse economic and legal risk; does not negotiate contract terms; does not represent one side. We do all of this - exclusively in your interest.
