Balkan Place has been designed with a great deal of care. Two main themes underlie the design, that will ensure these apartments make an excellent investment.

Value and investment potential:

The apartments are designed to contain the maximum number of bedrooms and beds in the smallest area. 1-bedroom apartments are on average 60 square meters (646 square feet), 2-bedroom apartments are 80 sq m (860 square feet). Costing is by the square meter, so the prices of Studios and 1-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments are lower than in any development in equivalent superb position or with so many facilities.
The apartments at Balkan Place are much larger than French ski apartments.

Rental:

Balkan Place is composed of 66 high-specification apartments, with rich facilities, and will function like a hotel. So it has hotel reception, lobby bar, room-service, spa centre with swimming-pool, shops, laundry service, and staff to run the facilities. This meets with the requirements of the two main markets for rental - the Tour Operators and independent holidaymakers from Sofia, Greece and other neighboring countries. (For this reason we have excluded fireplaces in the apartments, as Tour Operators are against fireplaces. There is a welcoming fireplace in the lobby-bar.)

Buying at Balkan Place

We plan to ensure that buyers do not suffer the stress and frustration that can occur when buying from Bulgarian developers. So:

The Preliminary Contract is simpler and clearer and fairer that that presented by any other developer in the Bulgarian property market
Copies of all documentation and all permissions for the project will be presented immediately to buyers' lawyers, on demand.
A summary legal report, summarizing the documentation for the project, is available to all buyers.
Payments will be made to the Bulgarian bank account of the developer - there is no dealing with off-shore bank accounts.
Prices include VAT, and the developer pays this VAT.
Full prices will be stated on the Notarial Acts.
