We answer these questions in detail.
Why are remote transactions safe?
Remote sale of real estate is 100% safe, as it is carried out by a licensed Bulgarian lawyer on the basis of a power of attorney from the seller. The lawyer represents the interests of the seller: prepares documents, accepts money from the buyer to a special lawyer's account, signs a contract of sale with a notary, sends the received funds to the seller's currency account in Russia or another country of residence.
The state lawyer's license is a guarantee of the security of the transaction. Its relevance can be checked by the individual number of the lawyer on the website Public.bar-register.bg.
Lawyers value their license and do not practice illegal actions. Any violation on the part of the lawyer threatens to revoke the license and criminal prosecution.
To further protect the seller, the contract specifies the value of the object, the number of the recipient's currency account, and the deadline when the money should be transferred.

After that, we conclude a reservation agreement with the buyer, control the transfer of the deposit to a special lawyer's account, and remove the object from sale. We inform you by mail about the receipt of the deposit, we begin to prepare the documents.
The approximate date of the transaction is specified in the reservation agreement (the actual date depends on when the documents are ready).

You print out and notarize these documents at your place of residence, and then send us scanned copies for verification. If there are no errors, send us the notarized originals by courier service.
After receiving the documents, the Bulgarian lawyer orders from the cadastral service (Bulstat) and the tax inspectorate the documents necessary for the sale (tax assessment, cadastral scheme, certificates of absence of encumbrances and property tax arrears).
Previously, the package of documents is checked by a notary.
Your lawyer (the manager of our agency), the buyer or his authorized representative are present at the notary office. The buyer transfers the required amount to a special lawyer's account, after which the lawyer signs a notarial act on your behalf.
The transaction is completed.
On the day of the transaction, the lawyer transfers the money to the seller's account specified in the contract in euros, as well as a scanned copy of the notarial act. The original contract is sent by courier service by prior arrangement.
«The process of remotely selling an apartment takes about 1 month. In an urgent order, the transaction can be made in 2-3 weeks.
