Dear all,
As this is my first post i will try to be as brief as possible.
Myself and three colleagues purchased a property in the Sunny beach area of Bulgaria 3 years ago purely as an investment.We had hoped to cover the annual costs of the property through rentals until,as planned,the property would be sold on in 5 years time.Although the purchase went fairly smooth,we did have a number of issues,our main concerns arose when appointing a management company.Initially we heeded the advice of the company from whom we purchased the property,UK based,and duly set up a short term contract with them to look after the property,pay bills,take on rentals etc.In our 1st full year,2006,in which we expected a reasonable return in rental revenue,family and friends aside,non materialised.We later discovered that various apartments within our complex were being rented out(on the Quiet)so to speak.These apartments were being looked after by the same MC as ours.Although we had no proof that the same had happened with our apartment,we terminated our agreement with them,changed locks and bank accounts then agreed a contract with another well known MC in the Sunny Beach area.So to this year.Expecting a better year than last,and again apart from 3 weeks of the year booked for family,no other bookings!
Two weeks ago one of my colleagues received an e-mail from a tenant who went over on spec for a weeks holiday only to find a family of Russians staying in his place without his knowledge.He too is with the MC that we are now with.Again,we have no proof that our apartment is being used but it seems we now have to start the process all over again.Not being able to monitor the situation as closely as we would like any advice or possible contacts would be greatly appreciated.
Kind Regards[/QUOTE]
