Frequently asked questions

1. Is it possible to buy without coming to Bulgaria?

Yes, this is possible, but not always so straight forward. You will have to get documents signed and stamped in the UK. It is often easier and quicker to come to Bulgaria for a couple of days and sort everything out here. You will be able to see the property.

2. Will I require a solicitor to complete my purchase?

No, as "Jutic" ltd. covers the cost of full legalisation of paperwork, all notary fees and solicitor costs in Bulgaria. However, we would always recommend you seek your own legal advice.

3. Why is 'company formation' mentioned?

In Bulgaria, land can only be owned by Bulgarian citizens or Bulgarian companies. Therefore the simple way to purchase land if you are not a Bulgarian citizen is to set up a Bulgarian company that purchases and holds the land. This is a common and completely legal formality which we do on your behalf.
