Construction Phase

 We regularly update our website with construction updates throughout the build process. This will    allow you to monitor the progress of your property.
 Usually there is one or more interim instalment payments to be made prior to full completion of the    property.
 We will advise you in good time of estimated dates for interim instalments.
 Approximately one month prior to completion will will send you a pre-completion property pack. This includes details of recommended legal representatives, furniture options, rental arrangements, recommended insurance companies and more.


Final Completion

 Prior to all construction being completed, you will be notified when your final instalment is due.
 Upon completion of the property and payment of the final instalment, the transfer of title can take    place.
 In Bulgaria, the property registry system works in conjunction with local Notaries.
 In order to take delivery of your property, you will need to sign the ‘Notary Act’. This is a standard    form document transferring ownership of the property into your name.
 Due to the importance of the notary act, we will liaise with you to appoint a legal representative to aide you with the completion process. Legal costs for this are approximately €650.
 You will receive title deeds within one month of the Notary Act from the local council.

Note: If you are unable to attend the Notary Act in person, your legal representative may attend in your place. This individual will need to be a qualified Bulgarian solicitor in possession of a ‘Power of Attorney’ agreement. We are able to liaise with you to arrange this.

 
 All our property is sold on a freehold or share of freehold basis.
 All new build property in Bulgaria is subject to 20% VAT. Our prices always include the VAT subject to the local tax evalution at the Notary Act.
 When you buy: On completion there are a number of transfer and local taxes. These taxes total between 4% to 5% of the purchase price. You will be required to pay these taxes at the same time as your final installment for your property.
 When you sell: When you re-sell your property, convention in Bulgaria is that the new buyer pays the    full transfer taxes.
 Maintenance of your property is covered by the Management Contract you signed upon purchase.    This is charged at a fixed rate in euros per square metre per year.
 You will be required to take out buildings and contents insurance for your property. We can provide    you with useful contacts in this regard.
 
Under UK law we are not qualified to provide personal taxation advice. Below we have provided two useful links that contain information outlining the current taxation position for foreign nationals purchasing property in Bulgaria.
