Viewing Trips

We will advise you how long you would need to spend on the viewing trip although of course you may stay as long as you wish, once this has been established an Itinerary would be sent, with a guide cost for the trip. We operate viewings on personalized schedules only, so we can allocate sufficient time for you, and be able to arrange your trip efficiently and without the pressure of a group of people all looking at the same properties. This way you can be assured a better service and if you provide us with as much advance information as possible regarding your preferences it will give us more time to research all the properties that match your requirements.

There are two ways of purchasing a House/Villa/Apartment or Land through us. This first method ensures that when you arrive in Bulgaria, your property is reserved for you and cannot be sold to another person. The basic process is listed below:

1. Reserving a Property BEFORE visiting Bulgaria

After discussing your individual requirements with us, you state verbally that you wish to reserve the advertised property and pay a reservation fee of £700. We record that property as reserved for three days whilst we await you cheque. The reservation fee of £700 is refunded when you complete your purchase. It can be transferred to any property on our list (subject to availability) but if you decide not to buy at all, then it is not refundable.

When the cheque arrives, we send out a preliminary contract so that you can obtain legal advice before you fly out or decide to buy unseen.

We always recommend that you view as it is an essential part of buying a property abroad, regardless of the type of purchase or Investment.

We will assist you to arrange your own flight, on a date which suits you, reserve accommodation for you in a number of 3-4-5* Hotels, arrange transport and driver. meet you at the airport and take you to your hotel, the following day we will pick you up from your hotel and escort you on your viewing trip.

This method means that you don’t pay a reservation fee before you arrive, and you would have already seen a selection of properties and made your preferences for viewing, however, it also means that you have to choose from the properties that are available when you arrive as some properties can be sold within days of being advertised.
