Hi
Yes we did buy in Woodland Spring in block two which was supposed to be completed in October this year and they are now quoting Autumn next year. I had an email from the company on 9th October to say that the two directors of the company were going out to Bulgaria last week and they were then going to send report out. Will contact them again this week if I have not received anything. I have to say that when I email them I do get a reply everytime. I think, reading between the lines that there has been a few problems with the contractors and they have pulled everyont off Woodland Spring to complete Boudicea Heights. Email the company to see if you can get a reply. Will report back here once I receive something. Firefighter keep in touch.
Regards
Linda |

Hi Linda
Have you seen the build pictures of Boadicea Heights,
they built up to finished roof level and then stopped, that was in July and they haven't been back, we have sent various emails and rung on numerous occasions but nothing, unlike you, we haven't even got lines to read between, what I am saying is don't blame Boadicea Heights for the lack of labour, they're not there either, look to other reasons for the delays. |

Oops does not sound good. Have emailed the company today, will let you know what happens. I had assumed that Boadicea Heights was progressing. What percentage have you paid if you dont mind me asking, we have put down 30%.

Hi Linda.
We'Ve put down 30% also, we've been trying to get updated build photos since July, then last week we were sent photographs taken of Boadicea Heights 2 weeks ago by people staying @ B.R.T. we were gutted.
In February, on the strength of completion dates, we have booked 3 flights, to go skiing. |

Do you know if there was anyone on the site at all? They sometimes stop building externally to work on the internal stuff for a while. We were out in Bansko at the end of March/Beginning of April this year and there were builders on the site at Woodland Spring then and at B H then too. Wonder if they are putting the final touches to St Davids instead. The company has quite a few building projects on the go and with the amount of building work going on in Bansko would imagine they would need to jiggle the workoad a bit. I know that they had a few problems with the furniture providers and were changing to a different one, which may have delayed St Davids final fit out so the workforce could have been utilised there. Would not get too worried about it at the moment, its amazing how quickly they can complete things. Will keep my fingers crossed for February. Would you be able to send the photos to me? How do I give you my email address?
Regards
Linda |

Hi
The most recent news that we had re the golf developments were that it was only for those that had purchased on the golf development and would not be available initially for anyone else. Have copied a note from the company that I received on 1st August below. Please see below.
Regards
Linda
Hello Linda,
In reply to your email of 30th July I hope to answer your concerns.
The reasons for the delay in the development of Woodlands spring is that we have had several issues with the construction company that we could not resolve between us.
Therefore we felt it necessary to change construction contractors and have had to renegotiate a new schedule of works for completion which has resulted in their being this delay.
In the course of time you will be receiving the information on the revised payment terms and the dates for payment.
The building work has progressed slowly but we are at the roof level currently.
I hope this clears your concerns and we will update you on progress and procedures as we continue.
We always aim to get our projects finished on time and to budget and we will get a more accurate timescale that you require as we progress.
In regard to the golf course and use it was at first common knowledge between developers that the golf course was to be available for the public to be able to play. Since this time Pirin developments have released a statement saying that the course will become exclusive for property owners within the development only. Nevertheless since this statement some hotels are allowing overnight guests the availability to play here. It is our view that this will eventually extend to the public being allowed access to enable the company to pay and service this investment.
We appreciate the importance of clients communication and I will be only to glad to answer any of your future requirements and you can email me at any time.
Yours sincerely,
Greg Hole
Operations Manager

Hi Paul
The letter was waiting on my doormat when I got in last night. More or less what I expected, the letter indicated that they may have a financier but I'm not convinced anything will come of this in this instance. Still, as ever, eternally optimistic, we are prepared to sit tight (not sure if we have an alternative at the moment as not sure if they would have any monies to pay our money back).
I think there is a good chance it will get completed eventually but may take a year or so, think we are in this for the long haul.
Are you planning on going out to Bulgaria any time soon, we may possibly go sometime next year.
John, have you heard anything about Boudicea Heights, is it in the same situation. Would look for alternative accommodation if I was you for February.
Keep in touch guys.
Regards
Linda |

Hi Linda.
I think that we have had the same letter but regarding Boadicea Heights, they've built up to roof level, stopped, and cant finance the second fix.
Were still going out in February, cant miss the skiing. |

This is the risk of buying a cheap off plan property. The developers use your money to build the next place, which is fine unless you are in the last place, which you are. If you pull out the company will have no money and if you try and sue they will simply declare bankruptcy and you will get nothing. You might however have a better chance of seizing their assets if they (or their directors) have some sort of UK presence - have a look at Companies House. Your other chance is to sit and wait and hope they get more cash in 2-3 years to finish the place. |

Dear Everyone
Tom (my partner) and I have discussed this at great length and have run through all of the scenarios that you have. Like Gaynor we briefly thought we could 'cut and run', but there is no money to refund to us. We are prepared to sit and wait it out, I do think that it will be a couple of years before we see any sign of a finished property but we went into this for the long run and not short term financial gain. I can't see any point in pushing for bankruptcy as we will all loose out. I apppreciate that not everyone may be in a position to sit and wait.
Let me know what you think.
Regards
Linda |

Linda, our thoughts are the same as yours and Toms,i have friends and family who have bought in Bulgaria,and their developments have gone 1 to 2 years over finish time,we would rather see a return in the future, Bansko was never going to be a short term investment, the amount of developments out there makes this self evident.If we ask for refunds we will all lose out.Regards
Paul.  |

Hello Paul
Sorry if I did not explain myself but Woodland Springs has only sold just under half of the properties, therefore there is no money in the pot to continue with the project, I have been in touch with Mariya in Sofia Bulgaria who is dealing with this matter, I have paid three quarters of the property and according to the contract you are eligible to pull out at this stage because of delay, (but Mariya has said that they have no monies to refund. So I can pull out with no monies refunded to ourselves, and then fight it in the courts, for trying to claim the money back, which could take a couple of years. Eventually I will still be at a loss as Britannia Overseas Properties will claim bankruptcy on the site and also say it is to do with the Credit Crunch so Mariya says.
They are still running a business in Swansea, Mumbles and now have new projects in Bulgaria on the go, I just cant understand it.
P.S. That was quite interesting from Mat to find out their creditability from Companies House, to see if they have assets in this country.
Anyway its nice to share my discussion with you, and if anybody has any update or information please get touch.
Night for now.
Gaynor and Christian Cooper

Gatnor.Thanks for your response,it seems we must wait and hope.ref checking BRITANNIAS creditability with company house,I believe they are not a limited company so they would not be registered ,just a company formed between a group of people.I know the director NIGEL HOLE bought land in several parts of bulgaria many years ago.I spoke to his rep on a visit to varna in may while looking at property in BALCHICK AND SOZOPOL.I still think they are a genuine company and will progress given finance and sales,cheers PAUL.

Hi, have you noticed on the Britannia website that they are selling land in Varna! Let's hope this sells quickly so they can fund their unfinished developments, they maybe genuine but are doing themselves no favours by not replying to calls and emails. |

Hi Linda,
Sorry to hear all the bad news that Britannia are in trouble but you cant say I did not worn you...
Please contact your solicitor to find out if their is a Mortgage on the land, if so you need to find out who owns the land.If for any reason the company you have paid funds to goes bankrupt then the bank owns the property if their is a mortgage on the land this means you have a very good chance that the project will be completed by the Bank.
Please also find out who the construction company is as normally they have part funds in the build.
since 2005 the mayor of Bansko put a hold on all construction in end of October to End of march due the the roads not being road worthy for Large lorry's this is still in force, this has been normal for many years but you will not be told this.They blame it on the open season in which you can understand as you wouldn't want lorry's driving up and down the streets when on holiday.I have to say Bansko is a wonderful place and in 10 years time all will be forgiven.
Studio in Bansko £30K
Studio flat in France £250K
If you need any more help let me know.
Good luck
Pedro |

Hi everyone
I too have contacted Mariya and whilst there are problems with funding there is no mention of Britannia going bankrupt at this stage and Britannia are not the only company in Bulgaria going through this crisis. It is a fact that Britannia have no money availalble to pay anyone who decides to cancel their contract, they can't pay out what they don't have. I do think it is a mistake to demand funds back at this stage as this will , potentially, push the company towards bankruptcy and then we will all loose out.
Britannia have stated that they will contact everyone within 60 days, (whilst they are trying to get additional funding). I think the only option is to wait and see what happens then.
Pedro, thank you for your concern but I am not unduly worried at this stage and I am aware of the Mayors hold on constuction during the winter months and I agree with you that Bansko is a wonderful place. Are you based in Bansko by any chance as I am wondering how the Mayors building is progressing, he has had his block built right next to Woodlands Spring Phase 1 for anyone who does not know this. Be interesing to see if his construction has been hit by the credit crunch. Any one know anything about this let me know.
Regards
Linda |

Linda.From my observations on the drive by video on www.egioverseas.tv .The MAYORS development has not progressed since i was in BANSKO in FEBUARY,it was always in advance of WOODLANDS due to most of the windows being fitted.its difficult to say if any internal work is being done from the video,although i dont think so.any idea what his development is i.e private hotel,or appartments , has i have not seen any for sale advertisments .One sure thing if and when WOODLANDS is finished ,(and i believe it will).all the mains services and road will be completed with the MAYOR involved take care and good luck.

We are in the same situation as you guys with Woodlands :-( and are of the same opinion that demanding our money back will only lead to bankruptcy where we will lose everything, so it is a case of sitting tight and seeing what happens.
If anyone gets any news regarding Britannia please post!!

Hi,
I wish I stumbled upon this forum earlier,Ive bought 2 apartments in st Davids,went out 12 months ago,been keeping an eye on their wbsite and all seems well.
Britannia aren`t very good at replying to phone calls and getting back to you,which I`m sure we all find very frustrating.
I feel for all going through this time of "Unknown",
If I hear anything about Britannia as a whole I`ll keep you posted
Neil

Hi Lucky7
We have received a letter from Britannia last week advising that they are going through a Due Diligence Process, basically trying to source funds from elsewhere.
I have also spoken to them and they are putting together a business programme for the bank so all is not lost yet.
They have also taken on a number of Russian agents, obviously looking for funding from countries not so affected by the crisis. In addition to this they have shows in the near future in Moscow and are also looking towards getting some Greek agents. There is also the possibility tha they may be working with a Swiss Finance Company. So basically they are not just sitting around and doing nothing but actively trying to source other income.
Where this will leave us eventually, or how long it will take, I dont know but lets just keep our fingers crossed. Paul (Firefighter) have you heard anything?
Regards
Linda |

Don't know how things work in bulgaria, but when we bought in spain we were told to only buy from builders with a bank guarentee. Basically what this means is if the builder runs out of money the bank will finish the build and you then pay the bank rather thsn the builder the balance out standing and the property is transfered to you. If the builder dosnt have this and cant finish the build basically you loss everything. Might be worth trying to find out if such thing excists in bulgaria and if your builder is covered by it. |

Nice to hear that you have bought in Woodlands Springs
I am in the process of buying in Woodland Springs Phase 2, but at the moment they are on stop, due to euro and not selling any more apartments. Received another letter yet again from Britannia 08.06.09 only to say that no progress has been made, so they will update in a couple of weeks again.
Any update with yourself, "are you just hanging in there, like ourselves".
Come back.

All,
Does anyone have any up to date information on Woodland Springs?
The last corrispondance I recieved stated that they would be closing the office in Swansea and moving it to Bulgaria.
The e-mail address given in Bulgaira ends with @noproblemsltd.com which suggests it has nothing to do with Britannia.
I feel that we have all been ripped off and taken for a ride by Nigel Hole and Andy Moore and I feel that we now need to club together and get as much out of this as we can, as realistically I do not think any of us will be getting a finished apartment.
Have any of you signed the deeds to your apartment? thus at least getting something for your money?
It may only be a room in a bare shell however if you have put in £K's you should get something!! And when Britannia go bankrupt, which they will, at least they will not be able to take your part of the bare shell away from you.
Andy Moore & Nigel Hole have also arranged the business in such a way that if they go bankrupt with the Woodlands Springs development the recievers will be unable to touch any of there personal assets or any of the other Britannia builds, the only ones that lose are us!!
Even thought lots of us have paid lots of money I feel that at present most of us probably have nothing and Nigel & Andy do!!
I am currently in the middle of trying to take legal action against them, but as with requests for information on the build they will not answer letters and are difficult to track down!!
Does anyone know where Andy Moore or Nigel Hole live?
All replies and info welcome - Lets work together and hopefully some of us may get something!!

If you decide to take court action BEWARE you will need receipts from the builders not the agency...why you ask because i know of people who have lost thier cases in bulgarian courts due to no proof of payments. all payments should be payed to contractors this is bulgarian law.

Pedro,
Thanks for the info.
I have been in contact with the e-mail we were given as our point of contact in Bulgaria.
In a nutshell it is a virtual office, all they are able to do is forward you the last piece of corrispondance that Britannia have issued them and nothing else.
The most up to date information they currently have is dated August,09.
This is just another way for Nigel Hole and Andy Moore to avoid our questions!! |

Hi
Just been catching up on all the chat re Britannia and Woodlands Spring. We have bought two appartments in Block 2 and after meeting Nigel in the summer 09 he talked us through moving to Block A. Since then heard nothing although have been in constant contact with Zarka who never seems to be able to give us an update.
Have you been able to get anywhere with legal action ?
Lee

Hi,
We to have bought two apartments in Block 2 but unlike you have never been lucky enough to communicate with Nigel, let alone meet him to discuss the problems! We have had a number of communications via Email but only at our instigation. Having been advised in summer 09 that we could arrange to discuss moving to Block 1, we came back from holiday in October to find a letter advising that the Swansea office was closed and that all communication was to be via Zarka. And nice as she seems to be, all she tells us is that Britannia are still working to get the necessary funding to complete and she will advise when there is something to tell. Having tried to go on the Britop website yesterday, we discovered that it no longer exists and so another Email to Zarka has gone off but as yet no reply. The worrying thing is that she is the only contact we have! Came across this website and found your message - good to communicate with someone else in the same boat. Legal action, that is the next step I fear....

Hi Everyone,
Interesting, we haven't received any such communication about the website. Any chance of getting a copy of the letter advising this?
Thanks, Imi

Hi John,
I have found out that Zarka had our Email address incorrect on her system and so we weren't receiving any updates from her. These have now been sent to me and it seems that there have been problems with the website and it is being redesigned! Might be worth checking.Re contacting Zarka, she has replied to us before but we are awaiting a reply at the moment and like you, we have no other contact details for the company!
Hope this helps,
Imi |

Hi Paul,
Thanks for the info, it has been a great help. Does anyone know how I get rid of my details off of the bottom of the forum page, or can't you all see it?!
Thanks, Imi |

Hi Everyone,
Just to let you know that I heard from Zarka today, saying that there is no news at the moment but not to worry as she will keep me informed! Let's hope to hear something sooner rather than later.
Regards, Imi |

Hello Everyone,
Just came across this site, I am trying to help my brother out who paid £25,000 to Britannia for a property at victoria Villa's! I have just spoken To Zarka who said she does not get updates from either Nigel Hole or Sebastian Kinsman... My brother is desperate he mortgaged the money to pay the deposit and feels he has been really let down by these guys, no information has be forthcoming he is completly in the dark and is so upset he has asked me to get involved.
If anyone can help, I would be appreciated..
Thanks
Graham
