Understand the property.
Before you commit.

English-speaking legal support for property purchases, sales and due diligence in Sofia and throughout Bulgaria.

REAL ESTATE LAW

Practical advice.
Direct involvement.

A property decision combines documents, deadlines and commercial expectations. I help buyers, sellers and investors understand the legal questions around a proposed transaction and the terms on which they are being asked to proceed.

Discuss your property matter ↗

Before signing or paying

Discuss the proposed reservation, deposit or preliminary agreement before you commit. The review can focus on the obligations, deadlines and risks that matter to your transaction.

Property due diligence

Review relevant title and property documentation, identify issues requiring clarification and discuss the further checks appropriate to the property.

Agreements and completion

Drafting, reviewing and negotiating transaction documents, with assistance through the agreed stages of completion.

Support around your transaction

A focused document review

We agree which documents and questions the review covers, taking account of the property and your intended use.

Clear points for discussion

Advice can identify matters to clarify with the other party and terms to consider before proceeding.

Coordination where needed

Where technical, valuation or planning expertise is required, the need for additional professional input can be identified.

YOUR QUESTIONS

Before we start.

When should I contact a lawyer?

Ideally before signing a reservation or preliminary agreement or making a payment. If you have already signed, explain what has happened and any approaching deadline.

Can you assist an international buyer?

Yes. We can discuss your proposed transaction in English and agree the legal assistance needed in Bulgaria.

Does a legal review replace a technical survey?

No. Legal document review and technical assessment address different questions. The appropriate checks depend on the property and the proposed transaction.

What should I include in the first enquiry?

The location, type of property, whether you are buying or selling, the current stage and any deadline. Please do not attach sensitive documents to the initial enquiry.

HOW WE START

A clear first step.

From an initial enquiry to an agreed engagement, you work directly with Vasil Petrov.

Tell me what you need

Share a brief outline, your business context and any relevant deadline. Please wait to send sensitive documents until we discuss your matter.

Agree the engagement

We discuss the assistance required, the scope of work and the fee. An initial enquiry does not establish an attorney–client relationship.

Work with a clear focus

For ongoing support, we agree how to raise new questions, prioritise work and handle matters outside the agreed scope.

Individually agreed fees

Fees are agreed individually with each client, taking into account the scope and nature of the work, in accordance with Ordinance No. 1 of 9 July 2004 on Remuneration for Legal Work. The scope of the engagement and remuneration are discussed before work begins.

DISCRETION IS PART OF THE SERVICE

Your matters remain private.

Confidentiality is central to my practice. I do not publish client names, testimonials or transaction case studies. Even an anonymised account can reveal a client’s identity in a closely connected business community.

Your enquiry and any subsequent engagement are handled with discretion and respect for professional confidentiality.
