We have bought a property just outside Bansko (2 Rivers holiday village). The property has been finished all but for a few cosmetic touches but we have been waiting for Protocol 16 for 6 months of more. Has anyone else found this problem. We are being told that there is a problem in the department dealing with this in Razlog with a backlog of properties waiting.From frustrated :

TonyM,If you read through a lot of the posts on this forum regarding people who have bought property out there you will see that EVERYONE has the same type of concerns as you do and it is even worse for those who are desperate to get rid of their "investment" due to the over supply and zero demand for a second hand property.
Good Luck!
re: Protocol(Act) 16
My understanding of act 16 is conditions of use, it does not relate to building permission. It is when the developer on application of planning proposes usage of building and normally act 16 is a formality, it is only when there is a descrepinsy in the application that problems can arise....Would be interested if my understanding is wrong, there are a few developments in Bansko suffering in the same way.......... Have not heard that it is due to a back up in Razlog ??
re: Protocol(Act) 16
Act 16 is permission to inhabit - without it you cannot legally live in (or rent out) your apartment. You may also find it difficult to get utility hook ups. The usual practice is for the department concerned to put to the top of the list those properties where the developer bribes them.re: Protocol(Act) 16
Cheers Mat, i was in the area at least
Developers bribing officials, now come on, thats to much

I bought a Two Bed Apartment in Two Rivers and have paid the full amount to the Developer - 79,800 Eur plus all the legal costs a total of approx. 85,000. I took out a Mortgage to pay for it. It was supposed to be completed over a year ago and we still have not had the use of it. I have been out twice and the apartment is finished but there is no electricity connected. The Restaurant and Lesuire facilities are not completed. I had a friend who lives in Bansko check it out again approx. ...
I bought a Two Bed Apartment in Two Rivers and have paid the full amount to the Developer - 79,800 Eur plus all the legal costs a total of approx. 85,000. I took out a Mortgage to pay for it. It was supposed to be completed over a year ago and we still have not had the use of it. I have been out twice and the apartment is finished but there is no electricity connected. The Restaurant and Lesuire facilities are not completed. I had a friend who lives in Bansko check it out again approx. 5 weeks ago and it is still the same as it was when I was last out in May. I am very distressed about it. The Developer is saying that they can't get Protocol 16 due to a back-log in the Department. Also the developer said that he had to get permission from people to bring the electricity over people's lands to the Development as it it is quite remote and this has taken a long time. I would have thought that this should have been required before the development began. I don't know what to believe anymore- I think it might be helpful if a number of the Purchasers could communicate through this forum and maybe bring a Petition to this so called Department in Razlog-Has anybody any thoughts on this?
