Buying property in Bulgaria — know what you are signing.
An independent technical inspection of the building fabric, carried out on site by an experienced building expert. You get a clear, honest picture of the property: what is sound, what it will cost you, and whether the asking price is justified.
Independent of the seller · On site in Bulgaria · Report in English & German
We work for the buyer – not for agents or sellers.
A physical inspection in Bulgaria, not a remote opinion.
Decades of building and renovation practice in the region.
A plain-language report – no impenetrable jargon.
Buying property in Bulgaria does not forgive nasty surprises
Bought from abroad, presented by the agent, decided under time pressure – that is how the most expensive mistakes happen. What looks good in photos and at the viewing often hides exactly the defects that blow the budget after completion.
Rising damp, leaking roofs and thermal bridges often surface months after purchase – and the repair then costs many times more.
Buyers who proceed without an inspection routinely budget half the real cost. A realistic estimate up front changes the negotiation.
Cracks, failing installations, unpermitted extensions – sellers show what works. We show what does not.
Knowing the defects lets you negotiate from strength. A documented finding is often worth far more than it costs.
What we inspect on site
A systematic visual inspection of the purchase-critical areas – following a fixed, documented method and evidenced with photos, so no purchase-critical area is overlooked.

What you receive
A decision basis you can buy, negotiate or walk away on.
Written, clearly organised by building area – in English or German.
Every relevant finding evidenced with an image – verifiable even from abroad.
Urgent / medium-term / cosmetic – you see what actually matters.
Realistic cost ranges for the key works, based on local market experience.
The report states explicitly which areas could not be judged without opening up, instruments or access – so you know exactly what the assessment rests on and where a residual uncertainty remains.
An honest overall assessment: sound, proceed with caution, or walk away.
After the on-site visit you receive the documentation promptly – so you can decide.
How it works
You describe the property, location and your timeline. We clarify what an inspection can cover – in person, by WhatsApp or phone.
An experienced building expert inspects the property systematically and documents every relevant finding.
You receive structured documentation with photos, defect list, cost orientation and a purchase verdict.
We talk the report through with you and, if you wish, coordinate local contractors for renovation or conversion.
Behind Peak Care stands decades of hands-on experience with building fabric, renovation and construction oversight in Bulgaria and the German-speaking region. We know the typical weak points of Bulgarian property – from the damp prefab basement to the unpermitted extension – and we tell you straight what the situation is. Our only interest is your well-founded decision.
Peak Care provides an experience-based technical visual inspection – not an officially certified expert appraisal, not legal due diligence and not tax advice. Where a certified appraisal, a notary or a lawyer is required, we point you to the right local professionals.
Frequently asked questions
Ideally before signing, once you have serious purchase intent. The findings give you real negotiating leverage and protect you from expensive surprises after completion.
No. The initial call and briefing run by email, phone or WhatsApp. The inspection happens on site – you do not need to be present. You receive the report digitally.
The on-site visit typically takes 2–4 hours depending on property size. You usually receive the written report within 2–3 working days.
No – and we say so openly. It is an experience-based technical visual inspection by an experienced building expert, not an officially certified expert appraisal. For officially recognised appraisals we refer you to the relevant specialists.
Yes. Based on the on-site findings we provide realistic cost ranges for the key works – so you can calculate the total investment.
Yes – houses, apartments, older buildings and new builds. For new builds and developer units in particular, an independent inspection before handover and final payment is well worth it.
