Property Law

Property is more than a document with a stamp — it is security, home, future. And precisely for this reason, when it comes to real estate and property rights, any legal mistake can cost dearly — in money, nerves, even in lost property. From experience we know: people rarely seek a lawyer before the transaction. They often turn to us only when something goes wrong.

But property law does not forgive negligence. That is why timely legal advice can save years of court disputes.



Long before you sign any contract. If you are planning to purchase property (especially off-plan), if you want to conclude a preliminary contract, if you are preparing a transfer of ownership or donation, or if someone threatens your right of possession — these are the signals that you need a property law expert.

Our clients seek us when they:

  • Plan to purchase or sell real estate
  • Are co-heirs and have a property dispute regarding division
  • Face violated property rights or unclear property status
  • Want to establish or contest limited property rights (such as right of way through property)
  • Seek protection in donations, maintenance and care agreements, or other types of transfers
  • Need assistance with construction cases — from project approval to building permits

Property law includes not only classical ownership, but also a wide range of rights over movable and immovable property — and each of these situations conceals risks that are not always obvious to the non-specialist.



The Property Act guarantees every legal entity (natural or legal person) the right to freely use, possess and dispose of their own property. But these rights must be proven, recorded, protected — and when necessary, protected through court.



  • Consultations before concluding transactions
  • Drafting and reviewing preliminary contracts
  • Procedural representation in declaring preliminary contracts as final
  • Real estate transactions — purchase-sale, donation, exchange, maintenance and care
  • Establishment of property rights — easements, right of way, use, construction
  • Legal assistance in divisions — voluntary and judicial
  • Representation before institutions in case of refusal to issue construction documents
  • Consultations on condominium ownership — appealing unlawful decisions
  • Assistance in establishing pledge or mortgage

We also have specialists in construction law, who can assist with approval of investment projects, building permits and disputes with institutions.

In our work, property law is not simply a matter of normative acts. It is a daily tool for protecting your home, investment, family future.

The team of Attorney Silvia Petkova combines expertise and dedication — young, energetic and highly qualified lawyers who approach each case personally. We work with a clear philosophy: trust, competence, quick response and maximum protection of client interests.

We have proven experience not only in property and construction law, but also in protecting citizens’ rights in:

  • Unlawful actions by institutions — searches, seizures, police checks
  • Judicial protection against administrative arbitrariness
  • Unlawful detention and restrictions of freedom, including placement under quarantine
  • Protection before the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg
  • Complex cases involving violation of labor rights, including unlawful dismissal

We do not simply know the law — we use it to restore balance in our clients’ lives.

If you are facing an important property step or are already confronted with a legal conflict, do not wait for it to deepen. Contact us in time — this way you will save not only costs, but also sleepless nights.
