For property owners
Which Bulgarian property record answers your question?
Start with the question you need to resolve. The parcel boundary, the buildings on the land and the registered rights may need different checks.
Find the parcel you’re talking about
The Geodesy, Cartography and Cadastre Agency provides the public KAIS map. Where coverage is available, use it to orient yourself and identify the parcel you want to discuss. Record the cadastral identifier as shown, together with the settlement and the source. Keep the exact location and private documents in the agreed channel when you share them.
The agency also issues an official sketch of a land parcel in an urbanised area. Its service description says the sketch reflects the approved map and registers, including the identifier, boundary data and basic parcel information. Ask your adviser which current document is relevant to your property type and proposed sale.
Put questions about registered rights to the Property Register
The Registry Agency explains that its property certificate reports registered entries, annotations and deletions concerning rights and encumbrances at the time it is prepared. If you’re unsure what a registered entry means for a sale, ask a Bulgarian lawyer or the notary handling the transaction which search or certificate is appropriate and how the result should be read.
Use the property identifier and relevant ownership documents to keep the discussion tied to the same property. A current map and a registry search each answer particular questions. Your adviser can reconcile the results with the sale documents.
Work through a mismatch before publishing an exact figure
Imagine an old advertisement says “1,000 m² garden”, the current sketch gives a different figure and the fence bends around a lane. Start by recording the wording, date and source of each figure. Ask whether both records refer to the same parcel or whether an earlier advert described a larger area.
If the boundary on the ground is in doubt, ask a local geodesist what can be checked. If the lane or the included buildings raise questions about rights or the sale documents, ask your legal adviser. Keep the public description precise about the evidence you have and leave unresolved figures out until they can be explained.
What to give your adviser
Write down the settlement, property type, known identifiers, the document that prompted the question and what you are trying to sell. Ask for a secure way to share copies. Personal identification numbers, signatures and complete documents belong in that agreed channel.
