When you buy or sell a property, the individual electricity and water accounts must be transferred to the new owner. The procedure requires specific documents and visits to the providers – formalities that take time, especially if you are not in Bulgaria.
What the service includes
- Preparing the documents for the transfer.
- Representation before utility providers – electricity and water supply.
- Legal advice if problems arise – old debts, interrupted supply, data discrepancies.
- Remote handling under a power of attorney – no need to travel to Bulgaria.
Why you shouldn't postpone it
Accounts that are not transferred can lead to interrupted supply, reconnection fees and disputes over old debts between the previous and the new owner. A timely transfer protects you from all of these risks.
