Has any one had any bad dealings with a building company called Mesembria Invest Ltd in the Nessebar area, the director is a Vencislav Piskulev seems to have been ripping off and up setting a lot of peoeple, including me....Any help in nailing this guy would be most welcome
The town of Sveti Vlas has been ruined by so many buildings and I am sure the front line buildings with 5 storeys cannot be legal.
roof space, can hide another 3 floors,is this legal. I think this is pushing it a bit to high spoiling an area.
i cannot believe all that crap on sunny beach is legal let alone balchik etc Iam sure all depends on how long your arm is
The only reason why they tear illigala buildings in Nessebar is because they are forced into it when Nezzebar is on UNESCO recognized World Heritage Sites and as such awards could have it removed from the list if it changes Nessebars state image.
Of course, this is not the sum total of illegal constructions. However, I assume that the owners of these condemed buildings have not made the necessary payments (wink, wink) to take them off the hit list.
Bravo!!! Good start, now also make the people who built them pay for destruction so the community isn't paying for it.
A good start carry on the good work. Dont forget the ugly ex commie blocks.
This surely can't be the sum totally of illegally built buildings on the Black Sea coast?
If those huge ugly hotels and villas that cover the headland at Sinemorets are legal, parliament seriously needs to look at what it considers planning on the coast to be.
