Mr Robin Arnold and Mrs Susan Arnold

Boy, whay an efficient team!! My wife and I were keen to pursue the notary process immediately after we made our final payment on our apartment in August '09. After a little research we asked Verzhiniya to assist us in the process. Within 10 weeks from my initial contact, the original deeds were forwarded to us, on site, to coincide with us holidaying. My wife and I are extremely grateful to such a polite, fluent English speaking, and obvoiusly hard working professional lady.

Mr Brian Solan from Ireland

I wish I could find a solicitor like Verzhiniya Dakova in Ireland. I have recently sold a Sofia apartment and Verzhiniya took care of everything for me explaining in detail by email what was required of me and responding quickly to any concerns I had. The professional and personable manner in which her service is delivered serves as an example to my own office. Brian Solan, Solan Associates, Ireland. www.solan.ie

Mr Christopher Nairn from Ireland

I have just sold an apartment in central Sofia using Verzhiniya Dakova as my solicitor. What a breath of fresh air she has been!

The sale was a rather hectic affair with many different bidders. Verzhiniya guided me through the whole process offering very clear advice in perfect English. We achieved a fantastic price.

During the sale it transpired that the title deeds had the wrong address!!!! This could have been disastrous. Verzhiniya had to trace the original owner, take the matter to court and change the title deed.

I have no hesitation in recommending Verzhiniya to anyone - she is the consummate professional.

Mr Bryan Harvey from UK

This is a testimonial of the services that I have had the good fortune to be given by Verzhinya Dakova - my Solicitor in Sofia, Bulgaria.

I first went to Bulgaria in January for a look at some properties and ended up going over 4 times before making up my mind as to which Property I wanted to buy. I was given by my Estate Agent (New Estate.Biz ) a list of 12 Solicitors to choose from to help me perform the necessary details in which I could legally buy and these included opening up a Company Bank Account, Legal registrations including setting up my Company and the main thing which was acting on my behalf direct with the Developer and making sure that all was well with the purchase of my property. Verzhinya (Virginia in English) Dakova was the lady that I chose and after meeting up with her in Sofia I was very happy that I had made the correct choice. I then left Bulgaria to return back to the UK and everything was left in Verzhinya's hands and was kept up to date with everything that was going on either by email or by telephone and when my documents came through everything was written in English and also in Bulgarian so as to be able to understand it. I am very happy with the services that I get and would have no issues in recommending her for your choice as a Solicitor. She is very reliable and very helpful in all matters that we have come across and her fees are very reasonable as well.

Mrs Elisabeth Howarth and Mr Philip Howarth from UK

Buying property abroad was a daunting thing for my husband and I, but with the professional help we received from Solicitor Bulgaria, it made it a smooth and uncomplicated process. I would certainly recommend Solicitor Bulgaria to any of my friends.

Mr Peter Harding from Questmap UK

Questmap were fortunate to fall into contact with Ms Verzhiniya Dakova of lawfirm Solicitor Bulgaria after a small amount of research. At Questmap we are experienced property professionals with a considerable property portfolio in the UK and have recently been venturing outside of the comfort zone of our home market! Without doubt Ms Dakova has looked after our interest and guided us as well as leading us through transactions with great skill and determination. Our knowledge of the Bulgarian market has improved and without doubt we shall be growing our Bulgarian portfolio with the assistance of Ms Dakova whom is a delight to work with.

Mr Gavin Povey & Mrs Bernie Povey from Ireland

We employed the services of Verzhiniya Dakova from Solicitor Bulgaria to oversee the legalities of purchasing some investment properties in Bulgaria. Verzhiniya has provided a very professional and prompt service and as she speaks fluent English we were able to communicate without any difficulty. Her knowledge of Bulgarian Property Law has been invaluable in dealing with the problems we encountered with the Property Development Company and she has safeguarded our investment. We would highly recommend her services to anyone purchasing property in Bulgaria

Mr Will Frost from UK

Verzhinya Dakova was the lawyer who helped me form my Bulgarian company in 2006 and she has acted for me and my company in all legal matters since that time. I can highly recommend her to any person who requires advice concerning any aspect of company law, property purchase, immigration or residence permits.

I have been impressed by her thouroughness in scrutinising the deeds to property and the time she spends in explaining things to her client. I have found that I have understood more about the background to the legal and conveyancing issues which she has helped me with than I have with any of the British lawyers who I have instructed in the past. She speaks perfect English and, because she explains things in plain English, I actually understand her explanations better than the jargon that British lawyers use to try to "impress" their clients.

The aspect of Ms Dakova's service which I appreciate most is that she genuinly cares about her clients. She uses her knowledge and intelligence to think of the best way to help and protect her clients best interests. You feel as though she is treating you as an indervidual not just following a Law Society protocol. I feel that I can trust her to act in my best interests. She also does not waste her clients time with all the "know your client" rubbish that British lawyers are now obliged to do. Ms Dakova's intelligent and pragmatic approach allows her to act quickly for her clients in a way that British lawyers can no longer do. Above and beyond this efficient approach there have been times when I have needed something urgently and she has worked late into the night to finish it in time. I think she gives trully outstanding service.

Mr Matthew Warhaftig from UK

A collegue and myself employed the legal services of Verzhinya Dakova from Solicitor Bulgaria for the purchase of two off plan apartments in Bansko. The service we received was fast and efficient and we found her to be extremely helpful when we had any questions. The contracts were received in a timely fashion and with a full english translation which made the whole process easy to understand and stress free. I would highly recomend Verzhinya's services.

Mrs Rachel Knight & Mr Paul Knight from UK

It is important when buying a property overseas to find an independent bilingual solicitor. While we were in process of looking at potential investment properties in Bulgaria, we did meet up with some solicitors to discuss their services. As part of this process Verzhiniya Dakova, of Solicitor Bulgaria, was recommended to us. As we have progressed through the purchase she has provided us with legal advice and guidance and has done a very good job re-negotiating the terms and conditions of our contract, which has proved beneficial to us. We would recommend her.

Mr Richard Clarke from Quality Homes Bulgaria

Over the past two years we have purchased numerous properties across Bulgaria. These range from country properties to entire building projects. In every aspect of these purchases we have found Verzhinya Dakova to be friendly, efficient, diligent and protecting of our interests. If you are considering the services of a Bulgarian lawyer then we recommend her highly enough.

Mr Simon Mansfield from UK

I have recently purchased several properties in Bulgaria and for this I needed the assistance of a Bulgarian Solicitor. I contacted several UK and Bulgaria based firms and was fortunate to get a response from Ms Verzhiniya Dakova of Solicitor Bulgaria, who replied immediately and provided an extremely competitive quote for her legal services. Since instructing, I have nothing but praise for the service provided, all my concerns have been answered immediately and loop holes in Bulgarian property law explained, saving me both time and money. I would fully recommend this company to any one who has dealings in Bulgaria and requires the services of a Bulgarian law firm.

Mr Stuart Dring from USA

Solicitor Bulgaria has represented me as a first time client when I purchased my first property on the Black Sea coast. It was important to me that I found someone who understood the legal details and nuances involving my purchase and who was understanding of the concerns of an overseas purchaser. In my subsequent telephone calls and e-mails Ms Verzhiniya Dakova was attentive and articulate in answering any questions I had. My apartment is still in the construction stages due for completion later on in the year and I'm confident that my interests are being protected while I cannot be there. I have decided to purchase another off plan property, this time in Sofia, and I shall avail myself of the professional legal services that are offered by Solicitor Bulgaria, Ms Verzhiniya Dakova and her associates.

Mr Paul Walker

I have worked with Ms Verzhiniya Dakova from Law firm Solicitor Bulgaria on a couple of projects in Bulgaria. I have found her very efficient and proffesional in her work. I myself am from the UK and speak no Bulgarian and I am not familiar with how the law works over there, so it has been a great help to me working with someone who speaks fluent English and has always had a lot of time to help me and explain anything I’m unsure of. I would recommend "Solicitor Bulgaria" to anyone who is thinking of buying property or setting up in business in Bulgaria

Mr Andrew Szynkowski from London, UK

I needed an independent English speaking local solicitor in to assist me with the intended purchase of a property in Sofia. After researching several firms I contacted Verzhinya Dakova and I was immediately impressed with her knowledge and advice. I engaged her services and can recommend her without hesitation.

Ms Joan Stead from Scotland

The services of Ms Verzhinya Dakova were recommended to me after some preliminary research to find a Bulgarian Solicitor from my home in Scotland. Initially, she helped me to successfully negotiate details of the maintenance contract and will continue to help me through to completion of the property purchase. Her service has been exemplary. She has responded quickly, answered my detailed questions cheerfully and in plain English. I am very pleased and have no hesitation in recommending this company.

Mr Richard Dillon from Ireland

I am extremely happy with the legal services of Ms Verzhiniya Dakova of Solicitor Bulgaria regarding purchasing a property trough a bank loan and acquiring a mortgage and all other legalities relevant to this. As an International client I have found it very easy to communicate with Verzhinya and her staff on any query I have had. I find the service to be very professional with an excellent and very prompt correspondence.

Ms Lisa Banks from UK

Verzhiniya & her team are stuck with me for life! I can't sing their praises high enough. Verzhiniya is extremely patient & hard working, she fought a tough & lengthy battle for me against a large Bulgarian company & we came out smiling. I have entrusted her with many tasks over the years & have absolutely no reservations in recommending her & her team.
