This agent was a freelance agent. On the contract i was told to make 5 payments for the property. Two into the account of the building company and three into the private account of the owner of the company.
When i queried it I was told that that is common practice to do business that way in Bulgaria.
I was told that the lower figure was for my benefit.
I have found a English speaking Bulgarian lawyer. Do you know how long the court process will go on for. |
Roy the price on your contract should be the price you were aware. Even if the builder will have to show why he received the money and produce a contract for same if you chase him. the law of restitution will not allow unjust enrichment.
