Drafting of the preliminary agreement

The next stage of transaction is the signing of a wtitten preliminary agreement. This stage is important because the preliminary agreement contains stipulations on the conditions and consequences of their non-compliance. In addition, the preliminary agreement notes the deadline for signing the Title Deed. Therefore it is highly recommended to pay attention onto every detail in its drafting.

The final transaction and the Title Deed

According to the Bulgarian legislation the act for transfer of the real estate ownership is done through a Title Deed. The transfer of possession of the property is the final stage of a transaction. Usually, the possession is transferred in the day of the Title Deed signing, but there is possibility for parties to consider and agree other conditions. It is important to note that the ownership passes to the new owner by signing the Title Deed.
