property maps get better

Over 50% of Bulgaria Cadastral Maps Include Errors - Report

Properties
Over half of Bulgaria’s cadastral maps include incorrect and inaccurate data which blocks the correct purchase, sale and partition of property.
This data was revealed at a seminar of the Notary Chamber in Plovdiv with the participation of the Supreme Administrative Court Deputy Chair, Galina Solakova.
The erroneous cadastral maps have produced a large number of lawsuits to remedy the mistakes - there are currently over 200 pending, Solakova reported.
A new electronic system for providing information over the cadastre and the property register in Bulgaria was officially presented on February 2.
Alongside the new law on cadastre and the property register, notaries are also now preparing to receive a system that allows them access to the property boundaries on the register – which will make property fraud much more difficult. Notaries have already been given access to the Interior Ministry database to prevent ID document fraud.
