About property purchase in Bulgaria

Who it is for

Buying a home abroad can feel overwhelming if you do not know the local rules. This service is for international buyers, people who have moved abroad and investors. Common problems include the language, complex property law and a lot of paperwork. Mistakes can cost a great deal of money. English-speaking lawyers guide you so the purchase goes smoothly and follows the law.

What you need

Buyers of any nationality are welcome. You must be at least 18 and have an NIE, a tax identification number for foreigners. Depending on your nationality and how long you plan to stay, you may also need a visa. People from outside the EU in particular may look at options such as the Golden Visa, a residence permit linked to investing a certain amount.

How it works

  • The lawyer checks that the property has no debts or legal problems attached.
  • You sign a reservation agreement to hold the property.
  • The lawyer does detailed checks, called due diligence, on licences and planning permissions, and helps with money matters such as opening a local bank account.
  • You sign a private purchase contract that sets out the terms of the sale.
  • Once everything is checked, you sign the title deed, the official document of ownership, in front of a notary, a public officer who makes it official.
  • The lawyer registers the property in your name and you get the keys.

What the service includes

  • A first talk about your needs
  • Checking the property's legal status and licences
  • Reviewing all legal documents
  • Help getting your NIE and opening a bank account (check whether this is in the fee)
  • Writing and checking contracts
  • Signing and registering the title deed
  • Help after the purchase, for example with tax duties (not in the standard fee)

Why it helps

An English-speaking lawyer removes the language barrier, knows local property law and protects your interests at every step.

What clients say about our service

  • The lawyer was so amazingly helpful, assisting me remotely while I was in Haiti and in person when I visited Spain. She has a fantastic personal manner and is super approachable, her English is flawless, and I would 100% use her again for future legal advice in Spain.

  • I had an excellent experience working with the lawyer when I bought my home in Spain. Right from the start she was professional, knowledgeable and always available for my questions. She walked me through each stage of the purchase, explained it all clearly in English, and turned what might have been a stressful experience into a straightforward and secure one. Her attention to detail, efficiency and commitment left me completely confident that my interests were protected during the transaction. Her expertise meant that all of it was handled smoothly and professionally, so I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy lawyer in Spain. I am grateful for her outstanding support and for a home purchase that was such a positive experience.
