Apartments by the sea at a price between €15,000 and €24,000. A selection of inexpensive flats in Bulgaria
The popularity of real estate in Bulgaria is still quite high among foreign buyers. Surprisingly, even today you are able to find an apartment by the sea for a very attractive price — from €15,000. However, there is a major catch: properties can be in a building that hasn’t been commissioned yet. How to understand this?
What you need to know before buying a flat in Bulgaria
The property market in Bulgaria, like many other coastal countries, has become more active, faster, and even more demanding for buyers in the last few years. Migrants from all countries are coming to Bulgaria and everyone needs to buy or rent a house. Utility bills, food prices, and rental costs are rising.
Before buying a flat in a new house, buyers should check the documents of the house. In Bulgaria, there are several acts that a developer must obtain. They are Acts 14, 15, and 16 which divide the main phases of the construction.
A building receives Act 14 when all the rough work has been completed: the house has a frame, walls, load-bearing columns, a roof, and stairs.
The advertisements often state that the house has received an Act 15 — this means that the house is complete, and checked for compliance with the original plans and all the numerous safety and security requirements. All supervisory commissions confirm that the house is ready for connection to utilities and interior finishing work.
Act 16 is only required for residential buildings that are 15 meters or more in height, excluding the roof. In such a case, the building undergoes additional inspections by the supervisory authorities.
The final document confirming that the building is ready and complies with all norms and regulations is the Certificate of Commissioning («Удостоверение за въвеждане в експлоатация»).
Apart from problems with documents, before buying, it is a good idea to know which management company will take care of the house and the surrounding area. It is also advisable to get your home insured after the purchase. The insurance company will pay for all damages in the case of a problem with the neighbors and will contact the landlord of the neighboring flat to solve the issue.
