How does the property purchase process work in Bulgaria?

Buying property in Bulgaria can be a simple and quick process when you have the right partner by your side. Bulgaria.net provides you with complete support at all stages, from the first step to the final property registration in your name.

1. Property Selection

The process begins with choosing a property that meets your needs and budget. Our database contains a wide range of properties – from apartments in mountain resorts like Bansko to villas and houses on the Black Sea coast or in urban centers like Sofia and Plovdiv.
Our agency organizes property viewings in person or through virtual tours to give you a clear insight into the offerings.

2. Documentation Review

One of the most important steps is verifying the property’s legal status. Our legal team thoroughly analyzes:

• Whether the ownership is clear and unencumbered.
• Whether all necessary papers are valid and compliant with Bulgarian laws.
• Whether the property has construction and occupancy permits.

3. Negotiations and Preliminary Contract Signing

When you find the ideal property, we help you negotiate with the seller to achieve the best purchase terms. The next step is signing a preliminary contract, which includes:

• Property price.
• Payment deadlines.
• Details about fees and obligations of both parties.
  At this stage, a deposit is usually paid (10% of the total price).

4. Preparation and Notarization of the Main Contract

Our team handles the complete preparation of the main contract and arranges its notarization with a Bulgarian notary. The notary verifies the correctness of all documents and ensures the purchase complies with legal procedures. After notarization, the contract becomes legally binding.

5. Payment and Property Registration

The buyer pays the remaining agreed price, and our team handles:

• Registration of the new owner in the Bulgarian cadastre.
• Property registration in tax records.
• Transfer of utility obligations (electricity, water, utilities) to the new owner’s name.

6. Additional Services

We also offer our clients:

• Opening a bank account in Bulgaria for easier transactions.
• Consultations on obtaining residence permits if you plan to relocate.
• Assistance with property rental for additional income.

How long does the purchase process take?

In most cases, the property purchase process in Bulgaria takes between 2 and 4 weeks, depending on the complexity of documentation and negotiation speed.
