Unauthorized reproduction, "scraping" of listings by third parties (e.g., competing brokers), or the unauthorized use of image material for commercial purposes is strictly prohibited and will be prosecuted under civil and criminal law in accordance with Article 106 of the Bulgarian Copyright Act.
Terms and Conditions (T&C)
1. Scope and Contracting Parties These Terms and Conditions apply to all contracts initiated and concluded via the Bulgariadirect platform. For contracts concerning real rights to Bulgarian land, the exclusive contracting party is БЪЛГАРИЯДИРЕКТ ЕООД, which is registered as the owner in the Bulgarian Property Register. Contracts for pure services (e.g., company formation, airport transfers) are concluded with BULGARIADIRECT LTD. The prevailing language in the event of interpretation discrepancies for real estate contracts is Bulgarian, in accordance with mandatory legal notarization requirements.
2. Subject of the Contract and Condition of Properties
Bulgariadirect sells real estate in its own name. Offered properties requiring renovation ("Balkan Houses" / "Fixer-Uppers") are expressly sold "as is". Warranty claims for hidden defects in such old buildings are excluded to the extent permitted by law.
3. Property Acquisition by Nationality (EU vs. Non-EU)
3.1. Buyers from the European Union (EU/EEA): In accordance with the binding ruling of the European Court of Justice (Judgment C-562/22) of January 18, 2024, EU citizens may acquire land (including agricultural and forest land) directly as natural persons without fulfilling a five-year residency requirement.
3.2. Buyers from Non-EU Countries (incl. UK post-Brexit): Due to the Constitution of the Republic of Bulgaria, non-EU citizens are prohibited from directly acquiring land. Acquisition must mandatorily take place via the formation of a Bulgarian limited liability company (EOOD). In this case, the real estate purchase is linked to a service contract for the formation of the EOOD. The buyer expressly acknowledges that they are independently responsible for the ongoing accounting and tax obligations (10% corporate tax) of the newly founded company.
4. Reservation Fee (Stop-Deposit) and Preliminary Contract
Reservation fees ("Stop-Deposits") are not offered. The formal acquisition process is handled via a Preliminary Contract in accordance with Article 19 of the Bulgarian Obligations and Contracts Act (ZZD). This preliminary contract is mutually binding and legally enforceable in court.
5. Installment Purchase ("Pay Monthly") and Transfer of Risk
If the buyer chooses the offered installment payment model, the following mandatory conditions apply: Retention of Title: Formal legal ownership (Title) remains entirely with БЪЛГАРИЯДИРЕКТ ЕООД / BULGARIADIRECT EOOD (pursuant to Art. 200 ZZD) until the entire purchase price has been paid in full. Only then will the notarial transfer of ownership take place.
Possession and Transfer of Risk: Upon handover of the keys and taking physical possession (Instant Rights), the buyer assumes full financial and legal liability for the property. This mandatorily includes bearing all municipal taxes, waste fees, taking out building insurance, and ensuring public safety on the property.
Default of Payment: If the buyer falls into substantial arrears, or fails to uphold contractual obligations, Bulgariadirect is entitled to terminate the contract in compliance with Art. 206 ZZD and demand immediate eviction. In this event, installments already paid will be retained as compensation for use.
6. Right of Withdrawal and Distance Selling
6.1. Real Estate Purchase Contracts: Contracts for the acquisition of real estate or real rights are explicitly excluded from the statutory 14-day right of withdrawal for distance contracts under Article 50 of the Bulgarian Consumer Protection Act (CPA). The interest-free installment purchase model legally constitutes a deferral of the purchase price and not a financial service contract.
6.2. Services (e.g., Company Formation): A 14-day right of withdrawal exists for the provision of services. However, during checkout, the customer expressly agrees that the execution of the service ("Company Formation") will begin before the withdrawal period expires. With this consent and the complete fulfillment of the service, the right of withdrawal expires.
7. Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and KYC Guidelines
As an obliged entity under the Bulgarian Measures Against Money Laundering Act (MAMLA), Bulgariadirect is legally required to conduct identity checks (Know Your Customer) prior to concluding a contract. The conclusion of the contract is subject to successful verification. The customer agrees to provide the following information:
8. Final Provisions and Jurisdiction
The laws of the Republic of Bulgaria apply, in particular Bulgarian property law for all real estate contracts. Mandatory consumer protection regulations in the customer's country of residence remain unaffected. The exclusive place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising from or in connection with the real property contracts is Sofia, Bulgaria.
