Property Law in Bulgaria

Buy, Sell or Own Real Estate with Full Legal Confidence

Whether you’re investing in a vacation home, relocating permanently, or purchasing commercial property, real estate transactions in Bulgaria come with specific legal requirements and potential risks. At Taskova Legal, we ensure that every stage of your property transaction is secure, compliant, and transparent — whether you are present in Bulgaria or acting remotely.

✅ Full Legal Due Diligence

Before you commit to purchasing a property, we conduct a comprehensive legal check to protect your investment. This includes:

• Verifying ownership and land registry entries
• Checking for mortgages, encumbrances, or legal disputes
• Confirming building permits and zoning compliance
• Reviewing the property’s tax and utility status
• Evaluating any co-ownership or rights of use issues

Our due diligence protects you from hidden legal problems and ensures the property is safe to buy.

✅ Drafting and Reviewing Contracts

Whether you are buying or selling, we prepare or thoroughly review:

• Preliminary contracts and deposit agreements
• Final purchase-sale agreements
• Power of Attorney documents (if needed)
• Any side agreements (payment plans, escrow, etc.)

We ensure your contract reflects your interests, includes protective clauses, and complies with Bulgarian real estate law.

✅ Representation via Power of Attorney

Not in Bulgaria? No problem. You can purchase, sell or register property entirely remotely. We can represent you with a notarised Power of Attorney and:

• Sign all contracts and declarations on your behalf
• Attend the notary act (the official transfer of ownership)
• Register the property in your name at the Land Register
• Handle all related filings and tax declarations

We will keep you informed at every step.

✅ Tax Registration & Utility Set-Up

After a successful purchase, there are several key steps that many buyers overlook — we take care of them for you:

• Registration with the local municipality tax office
• Declaration of ownership for property tax purposes
• Registration with electricity, water, and internet providers
• Change of name on all utility bills
• Annual property tax advice (residential vs. non-residential status)
