Also I think a huge representation should be made to the european commission. there are a lot of valid cases out there and I know for sure there are people in my situation who are not aware yet they are being conned

Hi, I have read many posts about using a good lawyer. Unfortunately my personal and professional experience, like many others I think, points to the fact that you sometimes need to try and get the skills to manage the lawyers in the first place. Typically this means a bit of work and/or experience.
So it may help some that I put together a guide Ten Tips for Due Diligence in a a series of three blogs on
Overseas Real Estate Blog - the first being
here. This was not written for Bulgaria specifically but hopefully there is some food for thought here. I would recommend that buyers seriously consider paying more money to use a lawyer in the UK (or your own country) whereby you do get some protection in the form of the Law Society.

It would be interesting to hear from any forum readers if they know who (which department etc) at the EU is monitoring real estate transactions from a legal perspective. The EU, one would assume, is trying hard to improve the judicial system in Bulgaria. If there is a clear case where there is a clear breach of contract, would they be interested in knowing about instances where the court system is not working? Any experiences of court proceedings in BG, as far as can be revealed legally, would be interesting to share.
