And that's it your company is prepared. Now you are ready to buy your dream property. We will then proceed and acquire the property ownership rights for you, checking all the legal documentations and ownership papers and then you become the new owner .
Once you have registered a Bulgarian company you can use it in the future for different activities or for other property purchases.

•  Legal and Notary Fees. - Please note that you must pay all other conveyance fees related to buying a home in Bulgaria and only the solicitor can state the exact amount for your chosen property. This will include:

- Land/Property tax
- All lawyer fees
- All notary fees
- All court taxes

Land tax, Notary fee is dependant on the declared value of property, which by mutual agreement between buyer and seller can sometimes be different from the price entered on document of sale. If both buyer and seller agree, it's quite common for a lower declared price to be entered on the Contract of Sale. This can lessen the Capital Gains Tax liability for the seller and save the buyer a considerable amount in Land Tax, especially on the more expensive properties.

If you wish us to give you an estimate of what these may cost e-mail us with the reference number of the property and we will give you an example.

NB: these figures do vary from region to region and are dependant different variables including solicitors and house prices.
