Viewing Trips

We operate on personalized schedules only, so we can allocate sufficient time for you, and be able to arrange you viewing trips efficiently. You can be assured a better service if you provide us with as much advance information as possible regarding your preferences. This 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. We record that property as reserved for three days whilst we await you cheque. The reservation fee of £500 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 can reserve accommodation for you in a number of 3-4-5* Hotels at special reduced prices. For all customers purchasing any type of property, we pick you up at whatever airport you land at in Bulgaria.

If you do not wish to stay for a whole week, and only want a trip of a few days it will mean a scheduled flight to Sofia, Burgas or Varna Airport. We assist you to arrange your own flight, on a date which suits you. (subject to availability).

We will also pick you up from your hotel and escort you on your viewing trip.
