About us
Let me introduce myself. My name is Paul and I would like to tell you how my business Emerge was formed. I hope it gives you an idea of how this company will treat you as a client and the reason why.
I first travelled to the country for a holiday in 2006. The same as you I heard stories of English people losing money to so called developers. I decided to find out as much about the process involved as I could. Having graduated in law I more than understood the importance of seeking the advice of a lawyer specializing in Bulgarian property law.
To be honest the experience I had was horrendous. I already knew that debt passed with the property not the person - You could up buying a house with debt registered to it that you would be legally liable to pay. I also discovered that the agents were putting a huge commission on each sale for themselves and paying the true owners a small percentage of the profit. The people from the villages were poor and selling the one asset they had for a fraction of its true value. The only people who appeared to be making any real money from the sale were the middleman, who were raking in 1000s of pounds from villagers who did not understand Bulgarian property law and the process involved. The village owners were kind people who didn't realise the true value of the property they were selling. The houses had often been passed from one family member to another for generations.
On my return to the UK it was time to collect my thoughts and decide on my next step. Having seen how some developers conducted business I knew I could better. There was only one thing for it - two weeks later I formed Emerge.
Since then people from all over the world have visited Bulgaria and viewed property. The way of conducting business is to let clients make their own mind up about the buying decision. If a client does purchase a Bulgarian property from Emerge it will be because of a choice they make themselves, not because of a salesman on commission making a hard sell. It is always recommended that clients return to the UK to discuss their trip with family and friends before committing. This allows time to decide if buying property in Bulgaria really is the right choice to make. If so, the whole process can then be undertaken by giving POA to a lawyer.
This is how the underlying principles of Emerge were formed, and these values are at the core of how Emerge conducts its business.
Here is my personal promise to you...
Emerge will always be honest and truthful. The company will be fair when selling on behalf of Bulgarian villagers who are often far to willing to let the agent take all the profit. We will never hard sell and always give you a cooling off period. This will give you time to decide if buying Bulgarian property really is the right choice for you and your family.
What started as a holiday has now become a full time business taking me away from law. Buying a property in Bulgaria would have been laughable years ago, now its one of the worlds cheapest property markets offering something for everyone. I promise you an open and trusting relationship which really is the key for clients making a successful investment.
