Illegal estate agents in Bulgaria

Buying a property anywhere in the world, including the United Kingdom, can be stressful, and in some cases downright dangerous. Rogue estate agents are all over the world, and Illegal estate agents in Bulgaria are no exception. However, in Bulgaria there really is no excuse to be taken in by one of  these bad estate agents. The procedure is quite simple. As soon as you make contact with an estate agent, probably over the internet in the first instance. Ask if you will be getting a contract with details of the companies registration in the court. The owners full name, place and date of birth, and registered company address. You should be clear that the consultant does not receive your money. This should always go to your lawyer, he or she will then pay the various parties involved. Just the same as the United Kingdom. Not rocket science is it?
