Real Estate Law and Spatial Planning

Bozhikov & Vatev specializes in providing comprehensive legal assistance in real estate transactions for sellers or investors, as well as for potential buyers of real estate.

Our business model for consulting real estate transactions is based on an approach in which the law firm takes responsibility for the transaction from the receipt of the assignment to its’ successful completion. To save our clients from spending unnecessary time and attention, once the main parameters of the transaction have been specified, the firm relieves the clients as much as possible from the structuring and execution of the transaction.
